How to Install Tracim on OpenSUSE Latest

Tracim is an open-source collaborative tool that allows teams to work together on projects more easily. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Tracim on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

  • OpenSUSE Latest installed
  • Root access

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

First, you need to install some required dependencies for the Tracim installation. Run the following command to do so:

sudo zypper install nginx sqlite3 python3-pip python3-devel gcc Virtualenv

Step 2: Install Tracim

Now, we can install the Tracim package from the GitHub repository. Follow these steps:

  1. Clone the Tracim repository:
git clone https://github.com/tracim/tracim.git
  1. Create a new virtual environment:
cd Tracim
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
  1. Install Tracim and its dependencies:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  1. Create the Tracim database:
python3 setup.py develop
initialize_tracim_db development.ini
  1. Once Tracim is installed, you can start the server by running:
pserve development.ini

Step 3: Configure Nginx Proxy

To make your Tracim instance available via the web, you need to set up an Nginx proxy server that forwards incoming traffic to the Tracim server.

  1. Install Nginx:
sudo zypper install nginx
  1. Create a new Nginx server block for Tracim:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/tracim.conf

Add the following configuration:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  example.com;
    
    location / {
        proxy_pass       http://127.0.0.1:6543;
        proxy_set_header Host      $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}

In this example, we assume that your domain name is example.com and that you want the Tracim instance to be available at http://example.com. Replace these values with your own hostname and domain.

  1. Test the Nginx configuration:
sudo nginx -t

If there are no errors, reload the Nginx server:

sudo systemctl reload nginx
