How to install Redmine on Fedora CoreOS Latest
Redmine is a popular web-based project management tool. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Redmine on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Prerequisites
- A running instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest
- A user with sudo privileges
Step 1: Install necessary packages
First, we need to install some necessary packages for Redmine to work properly. Run the following command to update your system and install the required packages:
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y ruby-devel make gcc-c++ mariadb mariadb-server ImageMagick-devel
Step 2: Install Ruby and RubyGems
Redmine requires Ruby and RubyGems to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install Ruby and RubyGems:
sudo dnf install -y ruby rubygems
Step 3: Install Redmine
Now, we can download and install Redmine. We will download the latest stable release of Redmine and extract it to the /opt/redmine directory:
sudo mkdir /opt/redmine
sudo curl -L https://www.redmine.org/releases/redmine-latest.tar.gz | sudo tar xzC /opt/redmine --strip-components=1
Step 4: Install Ruby dependencies
Next, we need to install the Ruby dependencies required by Redmine. Run the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo gem install bundler
sudo bundle install --without development test
Step 5: Configure the database
Redmine requires a database to store its data. In this tutorial, we will use MariaDB as our database server. Run the following command to start and enable the MariaDB service:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Next, we need to create a new database and user for Redmine. Log in to MariaDB:
sudo mysql
In the MariaDB shell, run the following commands to create a new database and user:
CREATE DATABASE redmine CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redmine.* TO 'redmine'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
Replace PASSWORD with a strong password for the redmine user.
Exit the MariaDB shell by running:
exit
Step 6: Configure Redmine
We need to configure Redmine to use our database. Run the following command to copy the database.yml.example file to database.yml:
sudo cp /opt/redmine/config/database.yml.example /opt/redmine/config/database.yml
Then, edit the database.yml file and replace the <%= ENV['REDMINE_DB_PASSWORD'] %> line under the production section with the password you set for the redmine user.
Step 7: Initialize the database
We need to initialize the Redmine database. Run the following command to create the necessary tables and insert the default data:
sudo bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
sudo bundle exec rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV=production REDMINE_LANG=en
Step 8: Start Redmine
Finally, we can start the Redmine web server. Run the following command to start the server:
sudo bundle exec rails server -e production -b 0.0.0.0
