Frequently asked questions
Do we need to stop using Jira during migration?
Not immediately. During the test migration phase, Jira and Easy8 can run in parallel. This allows teams to validate the migrated environment and ensure everything works as expected.
A short usage freeze window is typically required only during the final production migration.
Can Jira be self-hosted?
Jira can be self-hosted through its Data Center edition, but Atlassian ended support for Jira Server on February 15, 2024, ceasing security updates, bug fixes, and technical support. Data Center, the remaining on-premises option, faces end of life by March 28, 2029, after which it becomes read-only with no new features or renewals past March 30, 2028.
Organizations seeking a self-hosted replacement should consider tools like Easy8, which offers full on-premises deployment with Jira-compatible migration tools, customizable workflows, and ongoing support.
How do I migrate Jira data to a new server?
Migrating Jira data to a new server requires backing up the database, home directory, and installation files from the old server, then installing a fresh Jira instance on the new server and restoring the data. Perform this in a test environment first to verify compatibility and avoid production issues, especially given your prior Jira migration planning.
