This is a guide on installing Redmine with PostgreSQL and nginx on FreeBSD 12.
h2. Prepare the Environment
* Make sure everything is up to date using the following command:
<pre>
pkg update -f && pkg upgrade
</pre>
* Create a redmine user:
<pre>
pw add user -n redmine -m -s /sbin/nologin -c "Redmine"
</pre>
---
h2. Install PostgreSQL 12
* Install PostgreSQL:
<pre>
pkg install postgresql12-{server,client}
</pre>
* Enable PostgreSQL at boot, initialize the database and start the service:
<pre>
sysrc postgresql_enable=YES
service postgresql initdb
service postgresql start
</pre>
* Switch to the pgsql user and enter into the psql prompt:
<pre>
su postgres
psql -d template1
</pre>
#* Create the *redmineuser* user and *redminedb* database:
<pre>
CREATE ROLE redmineuser LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'SuperSecretPassword' NOINHERIT VALID UNTIL 'infinity';
CREATE DATABASE redminedb WITH ENCODING='UTF8' OWNER=redmineuser;
</pre>
* Exit from the postgres user
<pre>
\q
exit
</pre>
server
---
h2. Install Redmine
* Install redmine:
<pre>
pkg install redmine4
</pre>
* Create the database.yml: 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: postgresql
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 mysql --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>
---
h2. Install Nginx
* Install nginx with passenger support:
<pre>
pkg install nginx rubygem-passenger-nginx
</pre>
* Add the redmine user to the www group:
<pre>
pw usermod redmine -G www
</pre>
* Start and enable nginx at boot:
<pre>
sysrc nginx_enable=YES
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;
server {
root /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7/gems/passenger;
passenger_enabled on;
passenger_ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby27;
passenger_sticky_sessions on;
}
# 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>
* Open a web browser and go to http://redmine.example.com. The admin username is *admin* and password is *admin*.
