Redmine

To run the Redmine project management system using Unit:

1. Install Unit with a Ruby language module.

2. Install and configure Redmine’s prerequisites

3. Install Redmine’s core files. Here we install them at /path/to/app; use a real path in your configuration.

4. Change ownership:

   Run the following command (as root) so Unit can access the application directory (If the application uses several directories, run the command for each one):

   console

   Copy

   # chown -R unit:unit /path/to/app/  # User and group that Unit's router runs as by default
      

   # chown -R unit:unit /path/to/app/  # User and group that Unit's router runs as by default
      

   The unit:unit user-group pair is available only with official packages , Docker images, and some third-party repos. Otherwise, account names may differ; run the ps aux | grep unitd command to be sure.

   For further details, including permissions, see the security checklist.

5. Next, prepare the Redmine configuration for Unit (use a real value for working_directory):

   json

   Copy

   {
      "listeners": {
         "*:80": {
               "pass": "applications/redmine"
         }
      },
   
      "applications": {
         "redmine": {
               "type": "ruby",
               "working_directory": "/path/to/app/",
               "_comment_working_directory": "Path to the application directory; use a real path in your configuration",
               "script": "config.ru",
               "_comment_script": "Entry point script name, including the file name extension",
               "environment": {
                  "RAILS_ENV": "production"
               },
               "_comment_environment": "Environment name in the Redmine configuration file"
         }
      }
   }

   {
      "listeners": {
         "*:80": {
               "pass": "applications/redmine"
         }
      },
   
      "applications": {
         "redmine": {
               "type": "ruby",
               "working_directory": "/path/to/app/",
               "_comment_working_directory": "Path to the application directory; use a real path in your configuration",
               "script": "config.ru",
               "_comment_script": "Entry point script name, including the file name extension",
               "environment": {
                  "RAILS_ENV": "production"
               },
               "_comment_environment": "Environment name in the Redmine configuration file"
         }
      }
   }

6. Upload the updated configuration.

   Assuming the JSON above was added to config.json. Run the following command as root:

   console

   Copy

   # curl -X PUT --data-binary @config.json --unix-socket \
         /path/to/control.unit.sock \  # Path to Unit's control socket in your installation
         http://localhost/config/      # Path to the config section in Unit's control API
      

   # curl -X PUT --data-binary @config.json --unix-socket \
         /path/to/control.unit.sock \  # Path to Unit's control socket in your installation
         http://localhost/config/      # Path to the config section in Unit's control API
      

   The control socket path may vary; run unitd -h or see Startup and shutdown for details.

   After a successful update, Redmine should be available on the listener’s IP and port:
