Prerequisites:

• A Fedora Server Latest machine (with sudo privileges).
• An internet connection.

Step 1: Update Fedora

Make sure your Fedora Server is up-to-date by running the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Before installing Taiga, you need to install some necessary dependencies. Run the following command:

sudo dnf install -y curl gcc-c++ make python2 gettext \
    python2-devel uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python34 \
    postgresql-server postgresql-contrib \
    postgresql-devel libjpeg-devel zlib-devel libpqxx-devel \
    openssl-devel libffi-devel redhat-rpm-config

Step 3: Install Node.js

Taiga requires Node.js to run, install the latest version of Node.js using the following commands:

sudo dnf install -y nodejs

Step 4: Install Virtual Environment

Taiga uses a virtual environment for the installation of dependencies. Install the virtual environment using the following commands:

sudo dnf install -y python2-virtualenv

Step 5: Create PostgreSQL Database

Create the PostgreSQL database and a user with the necessary permissions to access it.

sudo systemctl enable postgresql.service
sudo systemctl start postgresql.service
sudo su - postgres
createuser taiga -P
createdb taiga -O taiga

Step 6: Install Taiga

• Create a new directory for Taiga installation

cd /opt
sudo mkdir taiga
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER taiga
cd taiga

• Download Taiga

wget https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-back/archive/<LATEST_VERSION>.zip
unzip <LATEST_VERSION>.zip

• Create and activate virtual environment

virtualenv -p python2 taiga-env
source taiga-env/bin/activate

• Install Taiga Packages

cd taiga-back-<LATEST_VERSION>
pip install -r requirements.txt

• Modify and set configuration files

cp settings/local.py.example settings/local.py
nano settings/local.py

Edit the following variables:

SECRET_KEY = '<GENERATE-A-SECRET-KEY>'
DATABASE_PASSWORD = '<DATABASE-PASSWORD>'

• Migrate and create an admin user

./manage.py migrate --noinput
./manage.py loaddata initial_user
./manage.py loaddata initial_project_templates

Step 7: Configure Nginx

Taiga uses Nginx as a reverse proxy, install Nginx and configure it by running the following commands:

sudo dnf install -y nginx
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/taiga.conf

Add the following configuration to taiga.conf file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name <SERVER-NAME>;

    large_client_header_buffers 4 32k;
    client_max_body_size 50M;
    charset utf-8;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/taiga.access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/taiga.error.log;

    # Frontend
    location / {
        root /opt/taiga/taiga-back-<LATEST_VERSION>/frontend-dist/;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }

    # Backend
    location /api {
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $http_x_forwarded_proto;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/api;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }

    # Admin access (/admin/)
    location /admin {
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $http_x_forwarded_proto;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000$request_uri;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }

    # Static files
    location /static {
        alias /opt/taiga/taiga-back-<LATEST_VERSION>/static;
    }

    # Media files
    location /media {
        alias /opt/taiga/taiga-back-<LATEST_VERSION>/media;
    }
}
