openbsd-redmine

Ansible role to setup a simple and performant redmine instance on an OpenBSD machine.

Role Variables

The significant variables are listed here for brevity. The full list of variables can be found in [defaults/main.yml].

Variable	Default	Description
rm_version	4.2.3	Redmine version to use.
rm_port	8080	The port on which to run redmine.
rm_db_adapter	postgresql	Which database service to use.
rm_db_user	redmine	User for database access.
rm_db_pass	''	Password for database access (must be given).

rm_db_dev	redmine_devd	Database used for development environment.
rm_db_testd	redmine_testd	Database used for testing environment.
rm_rebuild	false	Force rebuild plugin and config databases.

RC scripts

This role installs two rc(8) scripts:

• redmine_puma
• redmine_unicorn

Only use one of them at a time with rcctl:

root $ rcctl start redmine_puma

Running redmine commands

Redmine gets installed to {{ rm_home }}/app/.

To run the commands as in their tutorials the proper environment variables need to be set, so that the ruby gems installed into the local directories are detected properly.

For example, to regenerate secrets for session storage, run the following commands as the user {{ rm_user }}_:

_redmine $ cd /var/redmine/app
_redmine $ env RAILS_ENV=production \
PATH=/var/redmine/ruby/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin \
HOME=/var/redmine \
GEM_HOME=/var/redmine/ruby/2.7 \
bundle27 exec rake generate_secret_token

Sample playbook

An example of a playbook is available in [sample-playbook].

Bugs

• Only postgresql is supported for now. Should be updated to allow other databases.
