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 Easy Redmine, which offers full on-premises deployment with Jira-compatible migration tools, customizable workflows, and ongoing support.
OpenProject provides another open-source, self-hosted alternative with strong Agile features and no vendor lock-in.
These solutions enable continued control over data and infrastructure amid Atlassian's shift to cloud.
