## Running SurfSense with Jira Connector

Add the Atlassian credentials to your `.env` file (created during [Docker installation](/docs/docker-installation/docker-compose)):

```bash
ATLASSIAN_CLIENT_ID=your_atlassian_client_id
ATLASSIAN_CLIENT_SECRET=your_atlassian_client_secret
JIRA_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8000/api/v1/auth/jira/connector/callback
```

Then restart the services:

```bash
docker compose up -d
```
