To do this exercise Docker must be installed and running in your Mac computer.

We will use Docker Desktop for Mac (download from here).

After the install process, open it!

  1. Hi, can you please show me how to set up a Jira Container which connects (Application Link) with Confluence container in the local development computer?

    Let say I have two containers: Jira and Confluence, the name respectively are:
    – “jira-container”
    – “confluence-container”

    I connected two of them to the same network, so they can find each other via the URL: “confluence-container:8090” and “jira-container:8080” and I can create a link between them.
    But because I publish the port from container to my local dev computer. So from my browser, I can access them via “localhost:8080”. The problem is with this setup, every Web Item (link) which Jira generate to the UI will be “confluence-container:8090”, not “localhost:8090”, it means this link is useless.

    So how do I setup a system like this?
