jira-migration-to-taiga

Custom import tool for migrating data from Jira to Taiga, including projects, users, and tasks.

Overview

jira-migration-to-taiga is a custom migration utility designed to transfer selected data from Jira into Taiga.

The main goal of this project is to simplify the initial migration process by importing:

• Jira projects
• users related to those projects
• tasks / issues from Jira into Taiga

This tool is intended for one-time or controlled migrations, where the default import/export options are not sufficient and custom field mapping or project-specific logic is required.

Features

• import projects from Jira
• import users involved in migrated projects
• import tasks / issues into Taiga
• custom mapping between Jira and Taiga entities
• configurable migration flow for project-specific needs
• useful as a base for extending migration logic

Use Cases

This project may be useful when:

• moving from Jira to Taiga
• standard migration tools do not cover your case
• custom field transformation is required
• you need control over how users, projects, and tasks are created
• you want a scriptable migration process instead of manual import

Migration Scope

Currently, the migration focuses on the following entities:

Imported

• Projects
• Users
• Tasks / Issues

Depending on implementation

• descriptions
• statuses
• assignees
• reporters
• comments
• labels / tags
• priorities
• attachments

How It Works

The migration process usually follows this flow:

1. Fetch data from Jira
2. Transform Jira entities into a format compatible with Taiga
3. Create or map users
4. Create target projects in Taiga
5. Import tasks/issues into corresponding Taiga projects
6. Log errors and skipped items for manual review

Requirements

Before running the migration, make sure you have:

• access to the Jira API
• access to the Taiga API
• valid credentials or tokens for both systems
• permission to create users, projects, and tasks in Taiga

Configuration

The tool typically requires configuration for:

• Jira base URL
• Jira API token / credentials
• Taiga base URL
• Taiga API token / credentials
• field mappings
• project mappings
• user mappings

Example:

JIRA_BASE_URL=https://your-jira-instance.atlassian.net
JIRA_EMAIL=your-email@example.com
JIRA_API_TOKEN=your-jira-api-token

TAIGA_BASE_URL=https://your-taiga-instance.com
TAIGA_USERNAME=admin
TAIGA_PASSWORD=your-password# jira-migration-to-taiga
