2. Ruby (1.9.3-p327), Bundler, Rmagick

1. Download and compile.
2. Install the bundler, rmagick and thin (for environment register).

mkdir /tmp/ruby && cd /tmp/ruby
curl --progress http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.3-p392.tar.gz | tar xz
cd ruby-1.9.3-p392
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo gem install bundler
sudo gem install thin
sudo gem install rmagick

If you get

• make: *** [doc/capi/.timestamp] Killed
• sudo: gem: command not found
• yaml.rb error, it seems your ruby installation is missing psych

3. Redmine

1. Download latest version.
2. Set file system permissions.

mkdir -p /var/www && cd /var/www
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/76867/redmine-2.3.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf redmine-2.3.0.tar.gz
rm -rf redmine-2.3.0.tar.gz
mv redmine-2.3.0 redmine
cd /var/www/redmine
mkdir tmp public/plugin_assets
sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
sudo chown -R nginx:nginx ./

4. Database (MySQL)

1. Start mysql and set a password for root@localhost.
2. Connect to MySQL and create a user for Redmine.
3. Create the database and grant the necessary permissions.
4. Set redmine database configuration.

service mysqld start
mysqladmin -u root password 'YOUR_PASSWORD'
mysql -u root -p

mysql> CREATE DATABASE redmine CHARACTER SET utf8;
mysql> CREATE USER 'redmine'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'my_password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redmine.* TO 'redmine'@'localhost';
mysql> \q

Try connecting to the new database with the new user

sudo mysql -u redmine -p

Configure redmine, make sure to change "localhost" to the fully-qualified domain name of your host serving GitLab where necessary.

cd /var/www/redmine
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
vi config/database.yml

5. Dependencies installation

1. Add Thin to Gemfile.
2. Install dependencies.
3. Create the tables.
4. Insert default configuration.
5. Generate secret token.
6. Set Thin configuration, init script & log.
7. Generate session store secret.

cd /var/www/redmine
vi Gemfile.local

Add

gem 'thin'

Then

bundle install --without development test
env RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
env RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data
rake generate_secret_token
thin install
mv /etc/rc.d/thin /etc/init.d/thin
vi /etc/thin/redmine.yml

notifempty
create 640 root adm
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/thin restart >/dev/null
endscript
}

6. Add nginx configurations

vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.include

proxy_set_header   Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

client_max_body_size       10m;
client_body_buffer_size    128k;

proxy_connect_timeout      90;
proxy_send_timeout         90;
proxy_read_timeout         90;

proxy_buffer_size          4k;
proxy_buffers              4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size    64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;

vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/redmine.conf

# Upstream Ruby process cluster for load balancing
upstream thin_cluster {
    server unix:/tmp/thin.0.sock;
    server unix:/tmp/thin.1.sock;
    server unix:/tmp/thin.2.sock;
    server unix:/tmp/thin.3.sock;
}

server {
    listen       your.ip.address.here:80;
    server_name  your.domain.name;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/redmine-proxy-access;
    error_log   /var/log/nginx/redmine-proxy-error;

    include conf.d/proxy.include;
    root /var/www/redmine/public;
    proxy_redirect off;

    location / {
        try_files $uri/index.html $uri.html $uri @cluster;
    }

    location @cluster {
        proxy_pass http://thin_cluster;
    }
}
