Roundup Issue Tracker is a popular and flexible issue tracking software that helps manage bugs, issues, and tasks. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Roundup Issue Tracker on OpenBSD.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that you have:
Roundup is written in Python, so the first step is to make sure that Python is installed on your system. OpenBSD comes with Python pre-installed, but it's recommended to install the latest version via the OpenBSD package manager.
# pkg_add python
Verify that Python is installed by running the following command:
$ python --version
The output should show the version of Python installed on the system.
Next, install Roundup Issue Tracker using the OpenBSD package manager:
# pkg_add roundup
If the package is not found, update your package database:
# pkg_add -Uuv
After installing the Roundup package, create an instance of Roundup Issue Tracker by running the roundup-admin command:
# roundup-admin /path/to/instance init
Replace /path/to/instance with the location where you want to create the Roundup instance on your system.
In the Roundup instance directory, edit the config.ini file to configure Roundup settings:
# cd /path/to/instance
# vi config.ini
Change the following settings if needed:
tracker-name: the name of your Roundup instancedatabase: the path to the SQLite database file. Leave it as the default value unless you want to use a different database.mail-host: the hostname or IP address of the SMTP mail server that Roundup will use to send notifications.mail-login, mail-password: if your mail server requires authentication, set these parameters.Start the Roundup server in the background:
# roundup-server -d
By default, the server will listen on port 8910. If you want to change the port, edit the config.ini file and change the http-address setting.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8910/ to access your Roundup instance. If you're accessing it from another computer, replace localhost with the IP address or hostname of your OpenBSD system.
You will be prompted to create the admin user account for Roundup. After creating the account, you can start using Roundup to track issues, bugs, and tasks.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Roundup Issue Tracker on OpenBSD, create an instance, configure settings, and start the Roundup server. With Roundup, you can manage issues and tasks efficiently and effortlessly.
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!
