EasyRedmine
This is a Vagrant project to host a development copy of EuPathDB's EasyRedmine
It is primarily focused on being a playground for migrating from our vanilla Redmine 2.3, however it can also be used to install EasyRedmine with an empty database.
Once provisioned, Redmine should be available at http://redmine.vm.apidb.org/
If you choose to install an empty database (not import from existing
database dump), the initial login/password is admin/admin
. You will be
prompted to change the password on first access.
Requirements
-
Vagrant installed on your local host
-
Ansible installed on your local host
-
Vagrant
landrush
pluginvagrant install landrush
-
scratch/redmine_dump.sql.gz
- a mysql dump of our production database. (One of the daily backups on is suitable. See/var/lib/mysql.backups/daily/easyredmine/
on the server that hosts the Redmine database.) This is optional. To have the redmine installer create an empty database, setdo_redmine_db_import
toFalse
inconfig.yml
-
scratch/easyredmine_package_u2072_d201511101601.zip
- the installation package provided by EasyRedmine (downloaded from their customer portal). Set the file name forinstaller_package_name
inconfig.yml
-
When working with a database imported from our production Redmine, you will need a VPN tunnel to UGA's campus so LDAP authentication queries can complete. A stock EasyRedmine installation, not using our database, does local authentication, so no VPN is needed in such case.
Provisioning
Vagrant provisions the VM using Ansible. See
config.yml
for configuration options. Especially,
-
do_redmine_db_import
: ifTrue
, will import sample data from a mysql dump file. IfFalse
, an empty database will be created by the redmine installer (if run). -
do_redmine_installer
: ifTrue
, will run the redmine installer ifredmine_root_dir
does not exist or if there is a detected change in the database (e.g. you drop it and let Ansible recreate it).
Note: The run redmine installer
Ansible task can take a long time
and there is no stdout to the console to indicate progress. The
installer includes installing several Ruby gems and database migration
steps so the installer run time is affected by network speed and
database state. On the other hand the installer may prompt for input
that the expect script is not expecting. This causes the installer to
hang indefinitely waiting for input that the non-interactive script
cannot provide. The ~/install.log
captures the stdout of the process
and should be consulted to check for running state.
Start the virtual machine with vagrant up
. This boots the VM and
starts provisioning.
Production Installation
See https://wiki.apidb.org/index.php/EasyRedmineVM for instructions for using the Ansible plays from this project to prepare a KVM image for production use.
Development Troubleshooting
To manually delete the database on the virtual machine and manually import the dump file.
mysql -u root --password='' -e "DROP DATABASE easyredmine"
mysql -u root --password='' -e "CREATE DATABASE easyredmine CHARACTER SET utf8"
mysql -u root --password='' -e "CREATE USER 'easyredmine' IDENTIFIED BY '@redmin3r'"
mysql -u root --password='' -e "CREATE USER 'easyredmine'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '@redmin3r'"
mysql -u root --password='' -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON easyredmine.* TO 'easyredmine'"
zcat /vagrant/scratch/redmine_dump.sql.gz | mysql -u easyredmine -p'@redmin3r' easyredmine
