Cagette is an open-source project management tool developed in Ruby on Rails. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install Cagette on a Fedora Server.
Before we begin the installation process, we need to install some basic dependencies required to run Cagette. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf update && sudo dnf install -y curl gnupg2 git nodejs postgresql-server postgresql-devel ImageMagick
RVM (Ruby Version Manager) is a popular tool for managing Ruby installations. In this step, we will install RVM on our system using the following command:
curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg2 --import -
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
Once installed, we can confirm that RVM is installed correctly by running the following command:
rvm -v
After installing RVM, we need to install Ruby, which is required to run Cagette. Run the following command to install Ruby:
rvm install 2.5.1
Once installed, set the default version to Ruby 2.5.1 by running the following command:
rvm --default use 2.5.1
Next, we need to clone the Cagette repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone git://github.com/cagette/cagette.git
Navigate to the cagette directory using the following command:
cd cagette
Now, install the Cagette dependencies using the following command:
gem install bundler
bundle install
npm install
Cagette uses a PostgreSQL database. We need to create a database and a user for Cagette. Run the following commands to create a user and a database:
sudo -u postgres createuser -s cagette
sudo -u postgres psql
ALTER USER cagette PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE DATABASE cagette_production OWNER cagette;
\q
Replace password with your preferred password.
Next, we need to configure the application by creating a configuration file. Copy the config/database.yml.example file to config/database.yml:
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
Open the database.yml file using a text editor and replace the username and password with the information you used in Step 6:
production:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: utf8
database: cagette_production
username: cagette
password: password
host: localhost
pool: 5
Save and close the file.
Now, initialize the database by running the following command:
rails db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
Precompiling the assets is a crucial step in Cagette installation. Run the following command to precompile the assets:
bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
Finally, we are ready to start the Cagette application. Run the following command to start the application:
rails server -e production
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000/. You should see the Cagette login page.
That’s it! We have successfully installed Cagette on a Fedora Server. You can now use this powerful project management tool to streamline your project management workflows.
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!
