Trac is an open-source project management and bug tracking system written in Python. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to install Trac on an OpenBSD server.
Before starting the installation process, make sure your OpenBSD server has the following:
Open a terminal on your OpenBSD server.
Install the necessary dependencies for Trac:
$ sudo pkg_add py-setuptools py-pysqlite2
Install Trac using pip:
$ sudo pip install Trac
Once the installation is complete, you can create a new Trac project:
$ trac-admin /path/to/new/project initenv
Replace "/path/to/new/project" with a path to the directory where you want to create the new Trac project.
Follow the prompts to set up the new Trac project, including selecting a database backend and creating an administrative account.
Start the Trac web server using the following command:
$ tracd -p port_number /path/to/project
Replace "port_number" with a port number on which to run the server, and "/path/to/project" with the path to the directory where your Trac project was created.
Note: By default, Trac listens on port 8000.
Access the Trac web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to "http://servername:port_number/", where "servername" is the hostname or IP address of the server running Trac and "port_number" is the port number you specified in the previous step.
You should now be able to log in to the Trac web interface and begin using the project management and bug tracking features.
This tutorial has shown you how to install Trac on an OpenBSD server, create a new Trac project, and start the Trac web server. Now that you have Trac up and running, you can start using it to manage your projects and track bugs.
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!
