How to Install Tuleap on OpenSUSE Latest

Tuleap is an Agile platform that helps teams to develop, manage and deliver quality software. It features project management tools, version control, code review, and collaborative tools that help with the software development process. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Tuleap on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites:

• A server running OpenSUSE Latest
• Root access to the server
• A static IP address
• A domain name
• 4GB or more of RAM
• 2cpus

Step 1: Update OpenSUSE

Before we begin, we need to update the system packages to the latest version for that we will run the following command:

sudo zypper update

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Now, we will install the necessary dependencies for the Tuleap installation process. For that, we will run the following command:

sudo zypper install apache2 git-core unixODBC graphviz php7 php7-xmlrpc php7-pdo php7-pgsql php7-bcmath php7-zip php7-exif php7-zlib php7-imagick php7-pecl-apcu php7-mbstring php7-mbzstring php7-pear php7-json php7-ctype php7-tokenizer php7-openssl php7-gd php7-fpm php7-xmlreader php7-intl php7-ldap php7-sockets npm nodejs-devel

After the installation is complete, restart the Apache server using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 3: Install Tuleap

The next step is to download Tuleap. You can download the Tuleap package with the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/Enalean/tuleap.git

Now, we will switch to the Tuleap directory that has been created by running the following command:

cd tuleap

Inside the Tuleap directory, we will run the installation script with the following command:

./tests/scripts/install-environment.sh

This script will install all the necessary components required by Tuleap.

Step 4: Configure the Database for Tuleap

Tuleap requires a PostgreSQL database to store its data. The next step is to create a PostgreSQL database for Tuleap. Open your PostgreSQL shell by running the following command:

sudo -u postgres psql

Once inside the PostgreSQL shell, use the following commands to create a new database and user for Tuleap:

CREATE USER tuleap WITH PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE DATABASE tuleap OWNER tuleap;
\q

After creating the database and user, we need to configure Tuleap to use PostgreSQL as its database. To do this, we need to modify the Tuleap configuration file located at /root/etc/tuleap/conf/database.inc. Open the file in a text editor:

nano /root/etc/tuleap/conf/database.inc

Change the following lines to provide your PostgreSQL details:

$db_type = 'pgsql';
$db_user = 'tuleap';
$db_pass = 'password';
$db_name = 'tuleap';
$db_host = 'localhost';

Save and exit the file.

Step 5: Configure the Tuleap Virtual Host

We need to configure a virtual host for Tuleap so that it can be accessed via a web browser. Create a new Apache configuration file for Tuleap by running the following command:

nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/tuleap.conf

Add the following content to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName domain.com
    DocumentRoot /root/Enalean/tuleap/src/www
    <Directory /root/Enalean/tuleap/src/www>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/tuleap_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/tuleap_access.log combined
    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPassMatch "^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$" "unix:/var/run/php-fpm/tuleap.sock|fcgi://localhost/root/Enalean/tuleap/src/www/"
</VirtualHost>

Replace domain.com with your own domain name. Save and exit the file.

Step 6: Start the Tuleap Services

Now, we are ready to start the Tuleap services. Run the following command to start the Tuleap services:

sudo /root/usr/share/tuleap/tools/setup.sh

This command will start all the required services for Tuleap.

Step 7: Access Tuleap

Tuleap should now be accessible via your domain name. Open your web browser and enter your domain name in the address bar. You should see the Tuleap login page. Enter your Tuleap administrator credentials to login.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tuleap on OpenSUSE Latest. Tuleap is ready to use for your software development projects.

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!
