This is a guide on installing Redmine with MariaDB and Nginx on FreeBSD 9.
h2. Prepare the Environment
* Before installation of the components, make sure everything is up to date using the following command:
<pre>
pkg update -f && pkg upgrade
</pre>
* Install portmaster:
<pre>
pkg install portmaster
pkg2ng
</pre>
* Create a redmine user:
<pre>
pw add user -n redmine -m -s /sbin/nologin /bin/sh -c "Redmine"
</pre>
* Install a few dependencies:
<pre>
pkg install gcc llvm36 rubygem-mime-types1 rubygem-rmagick rubygem-sass rubygem-sass-rails rubygem-rails rubygem-activeresource rubygem-uglifier cmake scons
</pre>
h2. Install Nginx
* Install nginx with passenger support:
<pre>
portmaster www/nginx
</pre>
#* *NOTE*: Make sure to enable *@[X]PASSENGER@* while configuring _nginx_
* Install Passenger
<pre>
portmaster www/rubygem-passenger
</pre>
#* *NOTE*: Make sure to enable *@[X]NGINX@* while configuring rubygem-passenger
#* *NOTE*: Enabling *[X]SYMLINK* makes upgrading passenger easier later on.
* Add the redmine user to the www group:
<pre>
pw usermod redmine -G www
</pre>
* Start and enable nginx at boot:
<pre>
echo 'nginx_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service nginx start
</pre>
* Create a configuration directory to make managing individual server blocks easier
<pre>
mkdir /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d
</pre>
* Edit the main nginx config file:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
</pre>
#* And strip down the config file and add the include statement at the end to make it easier to handle various server blocks:
<pre>
worker_processes 1;
error_log /var/log/nginx-error.log;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
# Load Phusion Passenger module globally
passenger_root /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.1/gems/passenger;
passenger_ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby21;
passenger_max_pool_size 15;
passenger_pool_idle_time 300;
# Load config files from the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory
include /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}
</pre>
* Add a *redmine.example.com server block*:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/redmine.example.com.conf
</pre>
#* Add the following:
<pre>
server {
listen 80;
server_name redmine.example.com;
root /usr/local/www/redmine/public;
access_log /var/log/redmine.example.com-access.log;
error_log /var/log/redmine.example.com-error.log;
passenger_enabled on;
passenger_user redmine;
passenger_group redmine;
}
</pre>
* Restart nginx:
<pre>
service nginx restart
</pre>
---
h2. Install MariaDB server
* Start by installing the mariadb100-server and mariadb100-client packages:
<pre>
pkg install mariadb100-{server,client}
</pre>
* Copy a base MariaDB configuration to use:
<pre>
cp /usr/local/share/mysql/my-small.cnf /var/db/mysql/my.cnf
</pre>
* Edit the mariadb config to change the max packet size:
<pre>
vi /var/db/mysql/my.cnf
</pre>
#* and modify @max_allowed_packet@ to 32M
<pre>
max_allowed_packet = 32M
</pre>
* Enable and start MariaDB
<pre>
echo 'mysql_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service mysql-server start
</pre>
* Prepare the database for use by running the secure installation:
<pre>
mysql_secure_installation
</pre>
#* *NOTE*: +Choose a strong root password+ and answer +yes+ to all questions.
h3. Create MariaDB Databases and Users
* Login to MariaDB and create appropriate databases and users.
<pre>
mysql -u root -p
</pre>
#* and run the following SQL queries to create the *redminedb* database and *redmineuser* user:
<pre>
CREATE DATABASE redminedb CHARACTER SET utf8;
CREATE USER 'redmineuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'SuperSecretPassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redminedb.* TO 'redmineuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit
</pre>
---
h2. Install Redmine
* Install redmine:
<pre>
portmaster www/redmine
</pre>
#* *NOTE*: Make sure to enable *@[X]PASSENGER@* while configuring redmine
* Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml:
<pre>
cp /usr/local/www/redmine/config/database.yml.example /usr/local/www/redmine/config/database.yml
</pre>
* Edit the redmine database config:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/www/redmine/config/database.yml
</pre>
#* And modify the production database settings:
<pre>
production:
adapter: mysql2
database: redminedb
host: localhost
username: redmineuser
password: "SuperSecretPassword"
encoding: utf8
</pre>
* Install gem dependencies:
<pre>
cd /usr/local/www/redmine
bundle install --without development test postgres --path vendor/bundle
</pre>
* Generate a secret token:
<pre>
bundle exec rake generate_secret_token
</pre>
* Create the database structure:
<pre>
env RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
</pre>
* Change the redmine site ownership:
<pre>
chown -R redmine:www /usr/local/www/redmine
</pre>
* Restart nginx:
<pre>
service nginx restart
</pre>
* Open a web browser and go to http://redmine.example.com. The admin username is *admin* and password is *admin*.
