Redmine is Open Source Project Management and Issue Tracking Tool. Redmine allows the users to manage multiple projects and associated subprojects, has project wikis, forums, time tracking, role-based access control, calendar, integrates various version control systems , RESTful API and a repository browser and diff viewer. Here is How To Install Redmine on Ubuntu 16.04 Blank Server From SSH. Redmine is written using the Ruby on Rails framework.

There are other ways of installing Redmine developed by various known webhosts which actually avoid our described steps, like DigitalOcean :

How To Install Redmine on Ubuntu 16.04 : Commands

 

SSH to server instance as user with root privilege. First update and upgrade :

---

Vim
1
apt update -y && apt upgrade -y

Then run the below command to install all the needed components, including mysql-server :

Vim
1
apt install curl subversion libmysqlclient-dev libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev imagemagick g++ zlib1g-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 autoconf libgmp-dev libgdbm-dev libncurses5-dev automake libtool bison pkg-config libffi-dev libgmp-dev libreadline6-dev libssl-dev mysql-server

Afer the above installation is complete, run the following command to secure MySQL installation:

Vim
1
mysql_secure_installation

Then, create a database for our Redmine installation:

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
mysql -uroot -p
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE redmine CHARACTER SET utf8;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redmine.* TO 'redmine'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'redmine_password';
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB [(none)]> q

In the above set of commands, change redmine and redmine_password to your own. Now, we need to create a system user for Redmine and assign to sudoers :

Vim
1
2
sudo adduser --home /opt/redmine --shell /bin/bash --gecos 'Redmine application' redmine
usermod -aG sudo redmine

Become that Redmine user :

Vim
1
sudo su - redmine

Now, install Ruby and RVM :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
cd ~
curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg --import -
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
To start using RVM run the following commands:
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm --default use ruby
To verify everything is done correctly, use the command ruby --version.
The output should be similar to the following:
ruby --version

From the above commands, we are $HOME or ~. We will checkout the Redmine source code to the $HOME/redmine directory :

Vim
1
2
svn co http://svn.redmine.org/redmine/branches/3.4-stable redmine
mkdir -p ./redmine/tmp/pids ./redmine/public/plugin_assets

We will configure the settings as next step :

Vim
1
2
3
cp ./redmine/config/configuration.yml.example ./redmine/config/configuration.yml
cp ./redmine/config/database.yml.example ./redmine/config/database.yml
nano ./redmine/config/database.yml

Change username/password in the above database.yml file like this :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
production:
  adapter: mysql2
  database: redmine
  host: localhost
  username: redmine
  password: "redmine_password"
  encoding: utf8

Next install Gems :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
cd /opt/redmine/redmine
echo "gem 'puma'" >> Gemfile.local
echo "gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc" >> ~/.gemrc
gem install bundler
bundle install --without development test postgresql SQLite

Next prepare the database and Puma :

Vim
1
2
3
4
rake generate_secret_token
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production REDMINE_LANG=en rake redmine:load_default_data
nano ~/redmine/config/puma.rb

Below is sample puma.rb :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
#!/usr/bin/env puma
 
application_path = '/opt/redmine/redmine'
directory application_path
environment 'production'
daemonize true
pidfile "#{application_path}/tmp/pids/puma.pid"
state_path "#{application_path}/tmp/pids/puma.state"
stdout_redirect "#{application_path}/log/puma.stdout.log", "#{application_path}/log/puma.stderr.log"
bind "tcp://0.0.0.0:9000"

Now, start Puma :

Vim
1
cd /opt/redmine/redmine/ && bundle exec puma --config config/puma.rb

We will have Redmine installation at http://Your_IP_ADDRESS:9000 on browser.
