# Bitnami Secure Image for Redmine
> Redmine is an open source management application. It includes a tracking issue system, Gantt charts for a visual view of projects and deadlines, and supports SCM integration for version control.
[Overview of Redmine](https://www.redmine.org/)
Trademarks: This software listing is packaged by Bitnami. The respective trademarks mentioned in the offering are owned by the respective companies, and use of them does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.
## TL;DR
```console
docker run --name redmine bitnami/redmine:latest
```
**Warning**: This quick setup is only intended for development environments. You are encouraged to change the insecure default credentials and check out the available configuration options in the [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) section for a more secure deployment.
## Why use Bitnami Secure Images?
Those are hardened, minimal CVE images built and maintained by Bitnami. Bitnami Secure Images are based on the cloud-optimized, security-hardened enterprise [OS Photon Linux](https://vmware.github.io/photon/). Why choose BSI images?
- Hardened secure images of popular open source software with Near-Zero Vulnerabilities
- Vulnerability Triage & Prioritization with VEX Statements, KEV and EPSS Scores
- Compliance focus with FIPS, STIG, and air-gap options, including secure bill of materials (SBOM)
- Software supply chain provenance attestation through in-toto
- First class support for the internets favorite Helm charts
Each image comes with valuable security metadata. You can view the metadata in [our public catalog here](https://app-catalog.vmware.com/bitnami/apps). Note: Some data is only available with [commercial subscriptions to BSI](https://bitnami.com/).

If you are looking for our previous generation of images based on Debian Linux, please see the [Bitnami Legacy registry](https://hub.docker.com/u/bitnamilegacy).
## How to deploy Redmine in Kubernetes?
Deploying Bitnami applications as Helm Charts is the easiest way to get started with our applications on Kubernetes. Read more about the installation in the [Bitnami Redmine Chart GitHub repository](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/redmine).
## Supported tags and respective `Dockerfile` links
Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags [in our documentation page](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/application-catalog/tanzu-application-catalog/services/tac-doc/apps-tutorials-understand-rolling-tags-containers-index.html).
## Get this image
The recommended way to get the Bitnami Redmine Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the [Docker Hub Registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/redmine).
```console
docker pull bitnami/redmine:latest
```
To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the [list of available versions](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/redmine/tags/) in the Docker Hub Registry.
```console
docker pull bitnami/redmine:[TAG]
```
If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the `docker build` command. Remember to replace the `APP`, `VERSION` and `OPERATING-SYSTEM` path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values.
```console
git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git
cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM
docker build -t bitnami/APP:latest .
```
## Persisting your application
If you remove the container all your data will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.
For persistence you should mount a directory at the `/bitnami/redmine` path. If the mounted directory is empty, it will be initialized on the first run. Additionally you should [mount a volume for persistence of the MariaDB data](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/main/bitnami/mariadb#persisting-your-database).
The above examples define the Docker volumes named `mariadb_data` and `redmine_data`. The Redmine application state will persist as long as volumes are not removed.
To avoid inadvertent removal of volumes, you can [mount host directories as data volumes](https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/). Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.
> **NOTE** As this is a non-root container, the mounted files and directories must have the proper permissions for the UID `1001`.

### FIPS configuration in Bitnami Secure Images
The Bitnami Redmine Docker image from the [Bitnami Secure Images](https://go-vmware.broadcom.com/contact-us) catalog includes extra features and settings to configure the container with FIPS capabilities. You can configure the next environment variables:
- `OPENSSL_FIPS`: whether OpenSSL runs in FIPS mode or not. `yes` (default), `no`.
## Logging
The Bitnami Redmine Docker image sends the container logs to `stdout`. To view the logs:
```console
docker logs redmine
```
Or using Docker Compose:
```console
docker-compose logs redmine
```
You can configure the containers [logging driver](https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/logging/overview/) using the `--log-driver` option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the `json-file` driver.
## Customize this image
The Bitnami Redmine Docker image is designed to be extended.
### Extend this image
Before extending this image, please note there are certain configuration settings you can modify using the original image:
- Settings that can be adapted using environment variables. For instance, you can change the port used by Redmine by setting the environment variable `REDMINE_PORT_NUMBER`.
- You can mount your custom scripts under `/docker-entrypoint-init.d` directory. These scripts will be executed in alphabetical order when the container during the 1st container bootstrap.
If your desired customizations cannot be covered using the methods mentioned above, extend the image. To do so, create your own image using a Dockerfile with the format below:
```Dockerfile
FROM bitnami/redmine
### Put your customizations below
...
```
## Maintenance
### Backing up your container
To backup your data, configuration and logs, follow these simple steps:
#### Step 1: Stop the currently running container
```console
docker stop redmine
```
Or using Docker Compose:
```console
docker-compose stop redmine
```
#### Step 2: Run the backup command
We need to mount two volumes in a container we will use to create the backup: a directory on your host to store the backup in, and the volumes from the container we just stopped so we can access the data.
```console
docker run --rm -v /path/to/redmine-backups:/backups --volumes-from redmine busybox \
cp -a /bitnami/redmine /backups/latest
```
### Restoring a backup
Restoring a backup is as simple as mounting the backup as volumes in the containers.
For the MariaDB database container:
```diff
$ docker run -d --name mariadb \
...
- --volume /path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami/mariadb \
+ --volume /path/to/mariadb-backups/latest:/bitnami/mariadb \
bitnami/mariadb:latest
```
For the Redmine container:
```diff
$ docker run -d --name redmine \
...
- --volume /path/to/redmine-persistence:/bitnami/redmine \
+ --volume /path/to/redmine-backups/latest:/bitnami/redmine \
bitnami/redmine:latest
```
## Notable Changes
### 4.2.1-debian-10-r70
- The size of the container image has been decreased.
- The configuration logic is now based on Bash scripts in the *rootfs/* folder.
- It is now possible to use an already populated Redmine database from another installation. In order to do this, use the environment variable `REDMINE_SKIP_BOOTSTRAP`, which forces the container not to run the initial Redmine setup wizard.
- The following environment variables have been deprecated. They will continue to work as before, but support for these may be removed in a future update:
- `REDMINE_DB_POSTGRES` in favor of `REDMINE_DATABASE_HOST`. When used, `REDMINE_DATABASE_TYPE=postgresql` will also be set.
- `REDMINE_DB_MYSQL`, in favor of `REDMINE_DATABASE_HOST`. Whenused, `REDMINE_DATABASE_TYPE=mariadb` will also be set.
