OnTrack is a simple, configurable, and extensible issue tracker/bug tracker by Inoda Software. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OnTrack on EndeavourOS latest.
Before we begin, you will need the following:
OnTrack is a Java application, so you must have Java installed on your system. To install Java, open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S jdk-openjdk
OnTrack runs on Tomcat, an open-source web server and servlet container. To install Tomcat, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S tomcat
Once Tomcat has been installed, you can start and enable it to run at boot time using the following commands:
sudo systemctl start tomcat
sudo systemctl enable tomcat
Now that Tomcat is installed and running, you need to create a Tomcat user for OnTrack. Open the Tomcat user configuration file in a text editor:
sudo nano /usr/share/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml
Add the following lines to the file, replacing username and password with your desired values:
<user username="username" password="password" roles="manager-gui,admin-gui"/>
Save and close the file.
You can now download the latest release of OnTrack from its official GitHub repository:
wget https://github.com/inoda/ontrack/releases/download/2.17.0/ontrack-2.17.0.war
Move or copy the downloaded file to the Tomcat webapps directory:
sudo mv ontrack-2.17.0.war /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/ontrack.war
Restart Tomcat to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart tomcat
Once Tomcat has restarted, you can access OnTrack using your web browser. Open the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/ontrack
You will be prompted to log in using the Tomcat user credentials you created earlier.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed OnTrack on EndeavourOS latest!
