Redmine

Redmine is a free and open source, web-based project management and issue tracking tool.

Based on the Bitnami Redmine image for docker, this Chart bootstraps a Redmine deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using Helm.

Dependencies

The Redmine Chart requires the Bitnami MariaDB Chart for setting up a database backend.

Please refer to the README of the Bitnami MariaDB Chart for deployment instructions.

Persistence

You may skip this section if your only interested in testing the Redmine Chart and have not yet made the decision to use it for your production workloads.

For persistence of the Redmine configuration and user file uploads, mount a storage volume at the /bitnami/redmine path of the Redmine pod.

By default the Redmine Chart mounts an emptyDir volume.

Configuration

To edit the default Redmine configuration, run

$ helm edit redmine

Here you can update the MariaDB root password, Redmine admin username, password, email address, language and SMTP settings in tpl/values.toml. When not specified, the default values are used.

Refer to the Environment variables section of the Bitnami Redmine image for the default values.

The values of redmineUser and redminePassword are the login credentials when you access the Redmine instance.

Note:

If you had updated the MariaDB root password for the MariaDB deployment, then ensure you set the same password for the mariadbPassword field in the Redmine Chart.

Finally, generate the chart to apply your changes to the configuration.

$ helm generate redmine

Access your Redmine application

You should now be able to access the application using the external IP configured for the Redmine service.

Note:

On GKE, the service will automatically configure a firewall rule so that the Redmine instance is accessible from the internet, for which you will be charged additionally.

On other cloud platforms you may have to setup a firewall rule manually. Please refer your cloud providers documentation.

Get the external IP address of your Redmine instance using:

$ kubectl get services redmine
NAME      CLUSTER_IP      EXTERNAL_IP       PORT(S)   SELECTOR      AGE
redmine   10.99.240.185   104.197.156.125   80/TCP    app=redmine   3m

Access your Redmine deployment using the IP address listed under the EXTERNAL_IP column.

The default credentials are:

• Username: user
• Password: bitnami

Cleanup

To delete the Redmine deployment completely:

$ helm uninstall -n default redmine
