Jira 8 officially only supports Apache Tomcat as the application server. While it is possible to deploy Jira into other JEE compliant application servers, you will be doing this at your own risk, and it is not recommended.
The following table shows the versions of Tomcat supported by Jira 8:
Application server |
Support status |
Apache Tomcat |
Tomcat 8.5.32 and newer. You should not deploy other applications or multiple Jira instances into the same Tomcat server. |
