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):

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

    {
   "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:

    # 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
    Note: 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:
