Redmine is a popular web-based project management tool. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Redmine on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
First, we need to install some necessary packages for Redmine to work properly. Run the following command to update your system and install the required packages:
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y ruby-devel make gcc-c++ mariadb mariadb-server ImageMagick-devel
Redmine requires Ruby and RubyGems to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install Ruby and RubyGems:
sudo dnf install -y ruby rubygems
Now, we can download and install Redmine. We will download the latest stable release of Redmine and extract it to the /opt/redmine directory:
sudo mkdir /opt/redmine
sudo curl -L https://www.redmine.org/releases/redmine-latest.tar.gz | sudo tar xzC /opt/redmine --strip-components=1
Next, we need to install the Ruby dependencies required by Redmine. Run the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo gem install bundler
sudo bundle install --without development test
Redmine requires a database to store its data. In this tutorial, we will use MariaDB as our database server. Run the following command to start and enable the MariaDB service:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Next, we need to create a new database and user for Redmine. Log in to MariaDB:
sudo mysql
In the MariaDB shell, run the following commands to create a new database and user:
CREATE DATABASE redmine CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redmine.* TO 'redmine'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
Replace PASSWORD with a strong password for the redmine user.
Exit the MariaDB shell by running:
exit
We need to configure Redmine to use our database. Run the following command to copy the database.yml.example file to database.yml:
sudo cp /opt/redmine/config/database.yml.example /opt/redmine/config/database.yml
Then, edit the database.yml file and replace the <%= ENV['REDMINE_DB_PASSWORD'] %> line under the production section with the password you set for the redmine user.
We need to initialize the Redmine database. Run the following command to create the necessary tables and insert the default data:
sudo bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
sudo bundle exec rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV=production REDMINE_LANG=en
Finally, we can start the Redmine web server. Run the following command to start the server:
sudo bundle exec rails server -e production -b 0.0.0.0
We have successfully installed Redmine on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now access Redmine by navigating to http://<your-server-ip>:3000 in your web browser.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
