Easy Redmine Installation from scratch

Here you can find instructions to start a new Easy Redmine application.

A) Docker image

We can't praise this technology enough. Running Easy Redmine via Docker is the ultimate low-maintenance solution for on-premises deployment to date.

We gathered all the information, including steps to download and run in this article. With any questions, you can always contact support.

B) Virtual machine

If you are used to managing your applications in this traditional vitualization method, we can provide you with a VM (.ova) with preinstalled Easy Redmine Docker image within.

To request the VM, please write to our support team. Meanwhile, you can have a look at the description of the VM contents.

C) Manual installation (legacy)

We've come a long way from depending on this manual installation method. This method is inferior to and more sensitive to human error than the options above. We are keeping it merely as a reference for understanding the mechanism of the installation.

Before you start, please make sure you have proper hardware and software server configuration as described here. Notice that you have to precisely prepare your environment before application installation can take place.

Additional information:

  • The webserver must have FULL access to public, files, log, tmp folders.
  • Server must have unrestricted internet connection, at least at the time of installation.
  • There is also a detailed installation manual available directly in the package in doc/INSTALL.

The steps:

  1. Download zip package from Client zone
  2. Unpack to your designated ER folder
  3. Create a database and configure its connection to the future application in config/database.yml (the package contains an example)
  4. Run the commands one at a time
    1. bundle install
    2. bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
    3. bundle exec rake easyproject:install RAILS_ENV=production
  5. Configure web server
  6. Configure mail server

If you face any issues during this manual installation that you cannot resolve, the next step is to use Docker or VM solutions.
