As an JIRA Administrator I want to deploy new instance fully automatically

Problem Definition

As an JIRA Administrator I need to deploy new instances of JIRA in different environments: Production, staging, test. Some for deploying new instances from scratch in the cloud.
Currently JIRA will ask for a lot of additional details after startup: base-url, license, password etc.

Suggested Solution

Enable JIRA to be deployed fully by scripts.
High level steps:

1. boot a clean server
2. start script for automation of setup
   • create the database
   • create/attach a data storage location
3. Deploy JIRA artefacts
   • Run the Jira installer without launching Jira
   • Or extract JIRA tar.gz
4. Configure pre-launch settings: TBD
5. Start JIRA
6. Run REST API commands as necessary to complete the setup: TBD
7. Users should be able to login to JIRA
