 To test your changes against a local instance of Jira Server, you need [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install) installed, then you can use the `docker-compose.yml` file in this repository to create a Jira instance.

It can take a few minutes to start up due to Jira Server's startup processes. If the container fails to start with `exit code 137`, you may need to increase the amount of RAM you are allowing docker to use.
