h2. HowTo Install Redmine 2 integrated with Gitolite 2 on Debian Wheezy with Apache and Phusion Passenger h3. About A quick step-by-step for install Redmine and Gitolite plugin on Debian Wheezy mainly using default packages. If I missed something, "let me know":http://www.redmine.org/users/85560 h3. Last update <pre>Date: 2014-09-12 2014-07-01 Sumary: Updated to Redmine *2.5.2* *2.5.1* and redmine_git_hosting *0.7.7*. *0.7.4*. See doc history for more info and/or instructions for redmine_git_hosting 0.6.x (deprecated).</pre> h3. Required packages <pre>aptitude update && aptitude -y install sudo ssh bzip2 zip unzip apache2 libapache2-mod-passenger mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev ruby ruby-dev git git-core gitolite libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev libicu-dev</pre> h3. Users and ssh-key Create an user for Redmine (*redmine*) and another for Gitolite (*git*): <pre>adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --gecos 'Git Administrator' --group --disabled-password --home /opt/gitolite git adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --gecos 'Redmine Administrator' --group --disabled-password --home /opt/redmine redmine</pre> Generate a ssh-key for *redmine* user. This user will be used as admin of Gitolite. The name of key should be *redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa*. <pre>su redmine ssh-keygen -t rsa -N '' -f ~/.ssh/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa exit</pre> h3. Configuring Gitolite <pre>dpkg-reconfigure gitolite</pre> Type data bellow: * user: git * repos path: /opt/gitolite * admin ssh-key: /opt/redmine/.ssh/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa.pub h4. Note about SSH Click bellow to expand. {{collapse(Note about SSH) If you try to connect gitolite (user: *git*) using *redmine* user via ssh, will be prompted password... See what happens: <pre>redmine@redmine:~$ ssh -v git@localhost ... The authenticity of host 'localhost (::1)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is d5:da:b9:10:c4:9b:51:75:65:f3:64:81:b5:6c:1a:1a. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes ... ... *debug1: Trying private key: /opt/redmine/.ssh/id_rsa* *debug1: Trying private key: /opt/redmine/.ssh/id_dsa* *debug1: Trying private key: /opt/redmine/.ssh/id_ecdsa* debug1: Next authentication method: password git@localhost's password:</pre> You can solve this by simply creating a symbolic link: <pre>su redmine ln -s /opt/redmine/.ssh/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa /opt/redmine/.ssh/id_rsa ln -s /opt/redmine/.ssh/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa.pub /opt/redmine/.ssh/id_rsa.pub</pre> Or even using ssh -i identity_file (check http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ssh+1 for more details) }} h3. Visudo configuration <pre>visudo</pre> Add the following lines: <pre># temp - *REMOVE* after installation redmine ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL # redmine gitolite integration redmine ALL=(git) NOPASSWD:ALL git ALL=(redmine) NOPASSWD:ALL</pre> Note that redmine user will be able to run root commands, but this is just to simplify the next steps. *REMOVE* this line after installation. h3. Redmine installation The installation and configuration is like the official documentation. Simply reproducing to maintain the flow on this how-to. h4. Download <pre>sudo su - redmine cd ~ wget http://www.redmine.org/releases/redmine-2.5.2.tar.gz http://www.redmine.org/releases/redmine-2.5.1.tar.gz tar zxf redmine-2.5.2.tar.gz redmine-2.5.1.tar.gz mv redmine-2.5.2/* redmine-2.5.1/* . rm -Rf redmine-2.5.2 redmine-2.5.1 </pre> h4. Create database and user <pre>mysql -u root -p -v -e "CREATE DATABASE redmine CHARACTER SET utf8; CREATE USER 'redmine'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'redmine'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redmine.* TO 'redmine'@'localhost';"</pre> h4. Configure database and email <pre>cd /opt/redmine/config cp database.yml.example database.yml cp configuration.yml.example configuration.yml</pre> Check more at: * http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineInstall#Step-3-Database-connection-configuration * http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineInstall#Configuration h4. Finishing the installation Create plugin assets directory <pre>cd ~ mkdir public/plugin_assets </pre> Now, complete the installation. <pre>sudo gem install bundler bundle install --without development test postgresql sqlite rake generate_secret_token RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data</pre> h3. Redmine Gitolite integration The plugin used on this how-to is the fork of JBox Web, you can get more information at: * http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_git_hosting * http://jbox-web.github.io/redmine_git_hosting/ * https://github.com/jbox-web/redmine_git_hosting h4. Download <pre>cd ~/plugins git clone https://github.com/jbox-web/redmine_bootstrap_kit.git git clone https://github.com/jbox-web/redmine_git_hosting.git cd redmine_git_hosting git checkout v0.7.7</pre> v0.7.4</pre> h4. Create symlinks The current version of the plugin (0.7.7) (0.7.4) now uses the directory /opt/redmine/plugins/redmine_git_hosting/ssh_keys/ to keep the ssh keys. So let's just create some symbolic links: <pre>ln -s /opt/redmine/.ssh/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa /opt/redmine/plugins/redmine_git_hosting/ssh_keys/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa ln -s /opt/redmine/.ssh/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa.pub /opt/redmine/plugins/redmine_git_hosting/ssh_keys/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa.pub</pre> h4. Configure GL_GITCONFIG_KEYS This version now use some hooks that, by default on gitolite *v2*, will be blocked by the var GL_GITCONFIG_KEYS. On gitolite *v3*, this var is named GIT_CONFIG_KEYS. <pre>sudo su - git sed -i 's/$GL_GITCONFIG_KEYS = ""/$GL_GITCONFIG_KEYS = ".*"/g' /opt/gitolite/.gitolite.rc exit</pre> h4. Configure Automatic Repository Initialization (optional) To configure the new feature "Automatic Repository Initialization" (optional), is necessary to customize the gitolite.conf file. <pre>cd ~ git clone git@localhost:gitolite-admin.git cd gitolite-admin/ echo "repo @all RW+ = admin" >> conf/gitolite.conf git commit -m 'Automatic Repository Initialization' conf/gitolite.conf git push cd ~ rm -rf gitolite-admin</pre> Remember that this repository will be managed by redmine and their plugin. h4. Plugin installation It's necessary to run bundle again to install some new gems required by the plugins. <pre>cd ~ bundle install --without development RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:plugins:migrate </pre> h3. Apache mod_passenger configuration Create a symbolic link, configure and enable the site and restart apache. <pre>su root cd /var/www ln -s /opt/redmine/public redmine echo "RailsBaseURI /redmine PassengerUserSwitching on PassengerUser redmine PassengerGroup redmine" > /etc/apache2/sites-available/redmine a2ensite redmine service apache2 reload</pre> h3. Post-install configuration tasks Remember to remove the sudo temp configuration: <pre>visudo # temp - *REMOVE* after installation redmine ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL</pre> You'll need to do some configuration on Redmine and git_hosting plugin. h4. Redmine Configure the Redmine default URL (*important*): Administration > Settings > General http://your_ip_or_fqdn/redmine/settings?tab=general This is set, by default, to localhost:3000, change it to your IP or FQDN. h5. Set the available repositories Administration > Settings > Repositories http://your_ip_or_fqdn/redmine/settings?tab=repositories Uncheck what you don't have installed on your system. Just to avoid unnecessary log messages. h4. Redmine Git Hosting Plugin h5. First of all, check the configuration Administration > Redmine Git Hosting Plugin > Config Test http://your_ip_or_fqdn/redmine/settings/plugin/redmine_git_hosting?tab=gitolite_config_test Ensure if all settings are correct (users, paths, versions etc.). h5. Set your IP or FQDN to SSH, HTTP and/or HTTPS Administration > Redmine Git Hosting Plugin > Acess http://your_ip_or_fqdn/redmine/settings/plugin/redmine_git_hosting?tab=gitolite_config_access Those settings will be also used on git operations (clone, pull, push etc.). h3. Troubleshooting h4. Logs If you have some trouble during the installation, you can check the following files: * /opt/gitolite/.gitolite/logs/gitolite-`date +%Y\-%m`.log * /opt/redmine/log/git_hosting.log * /var/log/apache2/error.log If you use multitail: <pre> multitail /opt/gitolite/.gitolite/logs/gitolite-`date +%Y\-%m`.log /opt/redmine/log/git_hosting.log /var/log/apache2/error.log /var/log/apache2/error.log </pre> h4.
