JIRA herp derp!

So you want to use jira, because it's fancy and great and awesome. Yes you are right, it is good (at least for sw development).
And you want to do it quickly; so you use a docker container?
And you want to use it safely; so you want HTTPS?
And you do NOT want to put it behind an apache reverse proxy?
Well, Tomcat supports https just well.
BUT! Keep in mind that the key store needs to be in JKS format,as the JVM is 1.8.xx. Yes, ladies & gents, in atlassian's docker container, the JVM is ancient.
I just spent three hours figuring out why "trustAnchor is empty". Herp derp
