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 it at /path/to/app/; use a real path in your configuration.

4. Run the following command so Unit can access the application directory:

   # chown -R unit:unit /path/to/app/
   

   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/",
               "script": "config.ru",
               "environment": {
                   "RAILS_ENV": "production"
               }
           }
       }
   }
   

6. Upload the updated configuration. Assuming the JSON above was added to config.json:

   # curl -X PUT --data-binary @config.json --unix-socket \
          /path/to/control.unit.sock http://localhost/config/
   

   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:
