Importing Redmine to Git, Deploying to Heroku

Import Redmine from SVN Trunk (latest and greatest) to Git, Deploy to Heroku

Adapted (but very updated) from:

http://blog.firsthand.ca/2010/10/installing-redmine-on-heroku-with-s3.html

http://blazingcloud.net/2010/06/18/deploying-a-redmine-wiki-to-heroku/

  1. Import the latest trunk from svn to git (since we're not concerned with all the branches and tags, we don't need to use svn2git tool)

    git svn clone -s http://redmine.rubyforge.org/svn redmine-git
    git remote add origin git@github.com:username/redmine-git.git
    
  • Install gems

    gem install bundler
    bundle install
    
    gem install heroku
    heroku create MY_REDMINE_APP_NAME --stack bamboo-ree-1.8.7
    
  • Create database locally

    rake db:create
    rake db:migrate
    
  • Load default data and configuration

    rake redmine:load_default_data
    
    • Type en (for English) and hit enter
    rake generate_session_store
    
  • Switch attachments to use S3

    git clone git://github.com/JangoSteve/redmine_s3.git vendor/plugins/redmine_s3
    cp vendor/plugins/redmine_s3/config/s3.yml.example config/s3.yml
    
  • Edit config/s3.yml

    production:
      access_key_id: <%= ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'] %>
      secret_access_key: <%= ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'] %>
      bucket: <%= ENV['S3_BUCKET'] %>
      endpoint:
      secure: true
      private:
      expires:
    
  • Install sendgrid plugin

    heroku addons:add sendgrid:starter

  • Remove /config/email.yml from .gitignore and add the file

    production:
      delivery_method: :smtp
      smtp_settings:
        address: "smtp.sendgrid.net"
        port: 25
        authentication: :plain
        domain: "heroku.com"
        user_name: <%= ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'] %>
        password: <%= ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'] %>
    
  • Remove /public/plugin_assets from .gitignore

    git add .gitignore
    git add public/plugin_assets
    
  • Edit to not try to create directory on heroku when server started

    vendor/plugins/engines/lib/engines.rb

    86:       Engines::Assets.initialize_base_public_directory
    86:       #Engines::Assets.initialize_base_public_directory
    
  • Edit Redmine to allow Bundler v1.0.7 (used in the heroku bamboo stack)

    config/preinitializer.rb

    9: - if Gem::Version.new(Bundler::VERSION) < Gem::Version.new("1.0.21")
    9: + if Gem::Version.new(Bundler::VERSION) < Gem::Version.new("1.0.7")
    
  • Edit Redmine to read configuration file through ERB

    lib/redmine.rb

    84: - yaml = YAML::load_file(file)
    84: + file = ERB.new( File.read(filename) ).result
    85: + yaml = YAML::load(file)
    
  • Add session store secret key to environment.rb (within Rails::Initializer.run do |config|)

    config.action_controller.session = { :key => "_myapp_session", :secret => ENV['SESSION_SECRET'] }
    
    • Add new session secret to heroku config vars

      curl https://raw.github.com/gist/1953264 -o session_secret.rb
      bundle exec ruby session_secret.rb
      heroku config:add SESSION_SECRET=<copy secret from above output>
      
  • Add json gem to Gemfile (for redmine_s3 plugin)

    gem 'json'
    
  • git push heroku

  • Push default data to production

    gem intall taps
    heroku db:push
    
  • Visit app on heroku

  • Login as admin:admin and go to My Account and change info and password
