Roundup Issue Tracker is a web-based issue tracking system that can help you manage your projects and collaborations efficiently. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install the Roundup Issue Tracker on your Manjaro system.
Before installing Roundup Issue Tracker, update your system to ensure that all system packages are up-to-date. Open the terminal, and type in the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Roundup Issue Tracker is written in Python, so we need to install Python and its dependencies to run the tracker. Run the following command:
sudo pacman -S python python-mako python-pygments python-setuptools
We can install Roundup Issue Tracker from the official Manjaro repository using the following command:
sudo pacman -S roundup
Create a directory to store the Roundup instance. We suggest you use the /opt/ directory for this purpose. Run the following command to create a new instance:
sudo roundup-admin /opt/myinstance init
Edit the config.ini file in your instance directory to configure your Roundup instance:
cd /opt/myinstance
sudo nano config.ini
In the [database] section, change the backend parameter to sqlite, and set the database parameter to the path where you want to store the database file, for example:
[database]
backend: sqlite
database: /opt/myinstance/mydatabase.db
In the [web] section, set the hostname parameter to your server IP address, and leave the port parameter at its default value of 8911:
[web]
hostname: my_server_ip
# Leave other parameters at their default values.
In the [mailgw] section, set the method parameter to smtp, and enter your email server's settings:
[mailgw]
method: smtp
smtp_host: your_email_server_address
smtp_port: your_email_server_port
smtp_user: your_email_address
smtp_passwd: your_email_password
Save and close the file.
To start the Roundup instance, run the following command:
sudo roundup-server /opt/myinstance
Open your web browser, and navigate to http://my_server_ip:8911/ (replace my_server_ip with your server's IP address). The Roundup login page should appear. You can log in using the default admin account (admin/admin).
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured the Roundup Issue Tracker on your Manjaro system. Now you can start managing your projects and collaborations efficiently with Roundup!
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!
