How to Install OpenProject in Ubuntu Server

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of OpenProject on Ubuntu Server. OpenProject is a project management software that provides a web-based platform where teams can collaborate and manage their projects.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation process, make sure your Ubuntu Server is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Step 1: Install Dependencies

To install OpenProject, we need to first install some dependencies. Run the following commands to install them:

sudo apt install -y git build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm-dev libdb-dev libyaml-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev liblzma-dev libpcre2-dev libsqlite3-dev imagemagick ghostscript

Step 2: Install Ruby and NodeJS

OpenProject requires Ruby and NodeJS to run. We will install them using the following commands:

Install Ruby

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/rvm
sudo apt update
sudo apt install rvm
sudo usermod -aG rvm $USER

After installing, you will need to log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.

su - $USER

Now, install Ruby 2.7.2:

rvm install 2.7.2
rvm use 2.7.2 --default

Install NodeJS

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs

Step 3: Install OpenProject

Now we are ready to install OpenProject. Clone the OpenProject repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/opf/openproject-ce.git

Change the directory to the OpenProject folder:

cd openproject-ce/

We will now install the required gems:

gem install bundler
bundle install --without mysql

Step 4: Configure OpenProject

Open the configuration file:

nano config/database.yml

In the production section, update the adapter and database details as follows:

# config/database.yml

production:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/openproject.sqlite3
  pool: 10

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Initialize the Database

We will now initialize the database for OpenProject by running the following command:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate db:seed

Step 6: Start OpenProject

Now that we have installed and configured OpenProject, we can start it using the following command:

rails server -e production -b 0.0.0.0

You can access OpenProject by visiting http://<server-ip>:3000/ in your web browser.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed OpenProject on your Ubuntu Server. You can now use it for your project management needs.
