Basic Vagrant configuration to have a ready to use Redmine site.

It uses Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Thar as base system, using the included packages in this version:

• Redmine 2.4.2.stable
• Mysql 5.5
• sqlite 3.8.2
• postgres 9.3
• Apache2 2.4.7-1
• nginx 1.4.6

It does not configure:

• Secure site (yet)
• Use redmine in a subdomain/virtual server

Vagrant. Download from http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html Version 1.5.1 was used for this configuration.

Note: The included Vagrant version in Ubuntu 12.04 (1.0.1) is not compatible with this configuration. You need to install/update it from .deb installer.

Virtualbox, required by Vagrant: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Note: For Ubuntu 12.04, the included virtualbox version is enough to perform all vagrant tasks.

1. Install / update Vagrant, from installer file from website.
2. Install virtualbox. From windows, using the installer. From Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install virtualbox.
3. Go to vagrant/ directory and write vagrant up. It will download box if needed and create vm.
4. If vagrant instance was not previously created, it will do the provision from bootstrap.sh.
5. When ready, you can open a browser and go to http://localhost:8888 user: admin, password:admin

In bootstrap.sh you can set:

• Which database to use: sqlite, mysql or postgres (not sure if last one is working)
• Which web server to use: nginx or apache2
• Database and Redmine passwords. Notice that these passwords can be set through this script only when vagrant instance is created.
• Apache2/nginx configuration.
• Extra imagemagick packages if you'd like to install them.

In Vagrantfile you can set:

• Machine cores and memory
• Extra provision scripts you would like to have
• Network type: NAT, bridge (public) or internal
• Port redirection
• All the settings available in Vagrant configuration.

• Verify if pgsql is working
• Set up secure mode
• Allow to backup/restore when provisioning instance
