Redmine is an open-source project management tool that is used extensively by software development teams. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Redmine on Fedora Server Latest.
Before installing Redmine, it is recommended that you update your system to ensure all system packages are up-to-date. To do this, run the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
Once the system is up-to-date, install the packages required to run Redmine using the following command:
sudo dnf install gcc make zlib-devel curl-devel openssl-devel httpd mariadb mariadb-server mariadb-devel ImageMagick-devel -y
Redmine is a Ruby on Rails application that relies on Ruby and RubyGems. Fedora Server Latest comes with Ruby pre-installed, but you may need to update it. To install Ruby and RubyGems, run the following command:
sudo dnf install ruby ruby-devel rubygems -y
Bundler is a Ruby gem that manages Ruby dependencies. To install the bundler gem, run the following command:
sudo gem install bundler
Download the latest version of Redmine from https://www.redmine.org/releases/. After downloading the latest version of Redmine, extract it to the directory of your choice using the following command:
tar zxvf redmine-X.X.X.tar.gz
Move the extracted Redmine files to the root directory of your server using the following command:
sudo mv redmine-X.X.X /var/www/html/
Change the ownership of the Redmine directory to the Apache user using the following command:
sudo chown -R apache.apache /var/www/html/redmine-X.X.X/
Navigate to the Redmine root directory and install the dependencies using the following command:
cd /var/www/html/redmine-X.X.X/
sudo bundle install --without development test
Next, you need to create a database for Redmine. First, log in to your MySQL server using the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Enter your password when prompted. Once you are logged in, create a new database using the following command:
CREATE DATABASE redmine CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci;
Create a new user and grant all privileges on the Redmine database using the following commands:
CREATE USER 'redmine_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redmine.* TO 'redmine_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Navigate to the Redmine configuration folder using the following command:
cd /var/www/html/redmine-X.X.X/config/
Copy the database configuration template and edit it using the following commands:
sudo cp database.yml.example database.yml
sudo nano database.yml
Update the information in the file to match your database credentials.
Navigate to the Redmine root directory and create the database schema using the following command:
cd /var/www/html/redmine-X.X.X/
sudo RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
Generate the session store secret using the following command:
sudo RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake generate_secret_token
Start the Apache server using the following command:
sudo systemctl start httpd
Now, you can access Redmine by visiting your server's IP address or hostname in your web browser. The default login credentials are:
Username: admin Password: admin
You can change these credentials by logging in and going to the Administration tab.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Redmine on Fedora Server Latest.
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!
