Change your directories as required.

Save that to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/jira and we’ll need to make it executable with `

# chmod u-w,ugo+x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/jira

# sysrc jira_enable="YES"
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/jira start or service jira start

Display IPv4 related open ports
# sockstat -4 -l

Make a port forward in the router, and point your browser at http://xxx:8080

Congratulation!
