I set up redmine 2.6.0-1 using the init script to add the crontab for the recurring tasks plugin, but it's never actually getting run. I checked inside the container:

root@redmine:~# crontab -l -u redmine
15 */4 * * * cd /home/redmine/redmine && bundle exec rake redmine:recur_tasks RAILS_ENV=production >> log/cron_rake.log 2>&1

crond is running, but it doesn't seem to actually log anything anywhere, and there's no cron_rake.log created, nor are my tasks getting run. If I run the task manually, it works fine.

As a side note, the example cron for the recurring tasks plugin in your documentation is set to run at * */4 * * * which is once per minute for an hour, every 4 hours. I chose 15 */4 * * * for a more reasonable schedule.

Great image and documentation! Thanks for you effort.

One question though: Does this support linking with a mysql-only container using environment variables?

In the README, there is a reference to an "Advanced section" for running Redmine in production, but I can't find this section anywhere. Would be nice to know how to run the container in production

just build it...

Hello,

while installing a recent image on ubuntu 14.04, I found out I couldn't open issues due to system error.

I couldn't see why, but with nsenter I was able to troubleshoot it, finding SMTP as the culprit.

We should either fix SMTP, or make SMTP disabled by default.

Another possible reason is that I have a tight firewall, but other images just worked fine in this regard. Or maybe is that I use a clean image with everything set to default?

Hi,
When I want to install the redmine_backlogs plugin, the installation need to build some Gem. But the container doesn't have the dev tools to do so.

How can I do the plugin installation?

here come the trace:

Starting up a new postgresql container...

I've make some changes to the docker-redmine container and commited changes to the new image to save my work under new tag. After starting this altered image I've noticed, that REDMINE_FETCH_COMMITS was duplicated in the crontab. And after second commit I actually got three same commands in the crontab...

I think it's reasonable to grep current crontab for the presence of the line which is going to be (re)added. Here is the way I've implemented it:

That should fix the problem.

the mail config is below
-e "SMTP_USER=[email protected]" -e "SMTP_PASS=PASSWORD"

when docker redmine is running, testing mail can not send, the default redmine mail setting has no tls attribute

it seems that redmine image need more tls plugin or disable gmail tls setting

I need the plugin Redmine mylyn connector (http://danmunn.github.io/redmine_mylyn_connector/). The page said this plugin needs libxml-ruby Gem. I put this plugin in /opt/redmine/data/plugins and do docker run command, the libxml-ruby can not auto install

the error msg is

An error occurred while installing libxml-ruby (2.7.0), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that gem install libxml-ruby -v '2.7.0' succeeds before bundling.

Hi guys,

I tried to launch this container on ubuntu 14.04, but it return an error page.

The only thing I did differently from the default, is -p 1680:80, to map the port of the container, because 80 is not free on my host.

Can anyone else confirm this?>

Even if I set -e SMTP_ENABLED=false -e SMTP_USER=, I always end up with this config:

$ /bin/cat redmine/config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb
if Rails.env.production?
  ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
  ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
  ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true
  ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
    :address              => "smtp.gmail.com",
    :port                 => 587,
    :domain               => "www.gmail.com",
    :authentication       => :login,
    :enable_starttls_auto => true
  }
end

Then, after doing things that send a notification mail (like creating an issue), I get an internal error because Redmine fails to send mail.

Hi, Sameer!

Just a suggestion - I came across http://jasonwilder.com/blog/2014/08/19/squashing-docker-images/ and his tool https://github.com/jwilder/docker-squash. By squashing image with the sequence:

docker save -o adlantic-latest.tar 2adf78665c7e
docker-squash --verbose -i adlantic-latest.tar -o squashed.tar -t adlantic/redmine:squash
docker load -i squashed.tar

I've got:

Based on the date string, sameersbn/debian:jessie.20140918, the image this release is based on, wouldn't have the fixes that protect against the shellshock bash vulnerability and its variants. Please update your base docker image to include the recent bash updates and re-release any images that depend on it.

Hi, @sameersbn!

Hope, this is the last on from me :) On startup of the container I see in the logs:

2014-10-21 22:51:26,625 WARN Included extra file "/etc/supervisor/conf.d/nginx.conf" during parsing
2014-10-21 22:51:26,625 WARN Included extra file "/etc/supervisor/conf.d/cron.conf" during parsing

Possibly I'm just too quick, but when I'm trying to open the URL of the Redmine in the first minute or so I do get 502 Bad gateway from nginx. This seems to be a result of nginx starting before unicorn. Not a big deal again, but maybe explicit ordering in the startup sequence can help. Like naming config files 01-unicorn.conf, 02-cron.conf,03-nginx.conf`.

Hello,

This is a "Feature request"

Today i tried to place a dump from a production Redmine environment inside the Docker test mysql environment running on your created container, im working on a script with the redmine api and to quick test some aspects i want to load in the production database to see what happens if users already exists etc. I don't care about persistence for this database, its just a quick test run. But i can't seem to import the dataset because i do not have the mysql root password. I tried -u redmine -p password / -uroot -p etc etc and some of the password examples used in your advanced text, but with no result. I can off course start mysqladmin, or attach an external database... But maybe adding a default admin and password can get people up and running quick. Just a request to what i think is an improvement, let me know what you think.

With latest latest it seems that REDMINE_HTTPS_HSTS_MAXAGE was renamed into REDMINE_HTTPS_HSTS_MAX_AGE in init script. redmine-ssl, as well as README.md are still referring to REDMINE_HTTPS_HSTS_MAXAGE.

Please, make them consistent :)

Hi!

I've to migrate a redmine cause of some issues on our current version and we discussed on maybe going for the docker way. Found your repo, tested, all is working good, good job! :)

Now I've a question.. as we (and probably everybody else) will use another nginx on the host for connecting to the container and publishing the content to the world, couldn't it be a bit better if we leave the gunicorns directly answering on the container instead of having that other nginx inside?

Thanks.

Hi,

after creating the image and running the container, redmine is working as expected. But when I make an new image, using "docker commit...", I get only "502 bad gateway" after running this new image.

In var/log/nginx/redmine_error.log, the error is:

2014/09/11 13:17:24 [error] 104#0: *5 connect() to unix:/home/redmine/redmine/tmp/sockets/redmine.socket failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: ...

Thanks

After clone some plugin to /plugins dir and restart container the logs show this message:
Could not find gem 'rails (= 3.2.21) ruby' in the gems available on this machine.
Run bundle install to install missing gems.

I already tried and retried rm tmp and these three plugins and the error are the same,
https://github.com/scrum2b/scrum2b
https://github.com/nsi-iff/kanban-plugin

Thanks for helping!

Memcached is recommended cachestore for redmine.
We can easy install memcached and memcache-client gem. Than run memcached by supervisor and put config/additional_environment.rb with this content:

config.gem 'memcache-client'
config.action_controller.perform_caching  = true
config.cache_classes = true
config.cache_store = :mem_cache_store, "127.0.0.1:1121"

If you like the idea, then I can do it myself later.

If you take a look into unicorn.log you can see, that on startup it complains, that 'mysql2' and some other gems are mentioned more, than once in Gemfile. Error says that it may lead to the problems to the future. So, adding a guardian code before adding those gems to the Gemfile should help:

With svn+ssh access to remote repository we need to keep .ssh/ somewhere. The same applies to git, bzr keeps some configs in .bzrfile(?), svn keeps repository access configuration in .subversion/ and so on. With the docker changes in /home/redmine are not persistent, unless you clone your own container from docker-redmine with 'docker commit'. That's an option, of course, but then you lock yourself from further upgrades of the base image or you need to remember to backup those diffs somehow...

A better option would be to make volume out of /home/redmine rather than just /home/redmine/data. But that would break current setup, as /home/redmine/redmine should go somewhere else. Dunno, what would you think about such a move...

A less intrusive solution would be to put all the essential dot dirs/files inside /home/redmine/data and symlink them to the upper /home/redmine on startup. At least with .ssh/ that worked.

So, what do you think would be a better solution and would you like to implement it?

After restarting the host, my redmine installation is giving some errors, inviting to check the logs.

But how do I read them? Is there a way to run the container so that I can access the shell? Or maybe to add SSH access?

I was thinking about cloning the container rerunning with the /bin/bash command, and then start redmine manually.

Hi,
First of all, thanks for the great work on this image! Unfortunately I'm having a problem connecting to my mysql server on the host. Using 127.0.0.1 does not work, so I think I have to use a socket connection.
The problem is I don't know how to configure this using the environment variables.
Could you point me in the right direction?

Best regards,
Peter

I created the cert and exposed 80 and also 443, 80 is still working. Also using the RELATIVE_URL option and that is working.

This is the exact command:
docker run --name=redmine_cyphy -d -e 'REDMINE_HTTPS=true' -e 'REDMINE_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT=/redmine' --link mysql_cyphy:mysql -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /data/redmine/data:/home/redmine/data sameersbn/redmine:2.6.0-1

Although base image for redmine is very recent, still if I enter the container and issue 'apt-get update' I can see that there are already certain packages require an update. I understand, that eventually base will be upgraded and new image will get packages up-to-date, but while I'm rebuilding image from Dockerfile I'm installing the latest at the moment of the build additional packages to the base image. But still, packages, that were in the base image remain outdated.

I believe, it's reasonable to add additional line with 'apt-get -y dist-upgrade' in the RUN chain so resulting image will have all installed packages up-to-date.

I don't think charts plugin works with redmine 2.4.x. I don't see it doing any thing in my test installation.

Please let me know if it works for anyone of you, else it got's to go

If you ever tried to debug failing server you know, that it's very handy to have them in one place. Most of the docker-redmine logs are situated in /var/log, except, well, redmine logs themselves. It would be very handy to have them there as well, in /var/log/redmine/, for example. Altering all the references to log/ is not a trivial task, so I think the easiest way to solve this is to use symlink from log/ to /var/log/redmine/.

There is a recurring task plugin, which I would like to use: https://github.com/teresan/redmine-plugin-recurring-tasks

Maybe it is even possible to provide guidelines / documentation on how to add plugins via a docker run bind mount? I don't know if that works at all, I am just spitballing here.

When running the docker with this command:

docker run -e DB_HOST=10.0.0.1 -e DB_NAME=redmine -e DB_USER=redmine -e DB_PASS=mypass -e DB_TYPE=mysql -v /tmp/log:/var/log/redmine --name=redmine -it --rm -p 10080:80 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/run/docker.sock -v $(which docker):/bin/docker sameersbn/redmine:2.6.0-1

It will stop responding to requests after a few requests. Retrying will eventually return the requested page. Adding -e UNICORN_WORKERS=12 helps a bit but will still throw errors in the nginx logs after a few requests (less than 12). The error I see in the logs is:

2014/12/10 15:32:26 [alert] 124#0: *37 readv() failed (13: Permission denied) while reading upstream, client: 10.0.0.10, server: , request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://unix:/home/redmine/redmine/tmp/sockets/redmine.socket:/", host: "10.0.0.1:10080"

The requests were made using curl and even with 12 workers it will return 'transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining'.

hi,

You say: "However in this case, the data stored in the mysql database will be lost if the container is stopped/deleted"
I am new to docker, but I thought that when you stop a container all data is written to the container layer, and when you start that container it will have the same state and data as when it was stopped.
Am I missing something here?

I'm facing a very strange issue running this container on Docker version 0.8.0, build cc3a8c8.

With the docker-entry I find it's easy and handy to access container to peek log files and check/tweak some configuration parameters. Sometimes I need to check options or other help information for the installed packages within container. Hence I try to access manpages for that packages within container, but 'man' command isn't available :(

I can imagine, that it's not installed to keep image smaller, but then - the whole bunch of manpages in /usr/share/man/* are actually there, together with /usr/share/doc/*. So, if the priority is saving space, taken by the image its worth deleting content of those directories(together with /etc/alternatives/).

Otherwise, if they are there already it's handy to be able to access those manpages and add 'man-db' package to the image.

Actually, it's possibly better to add this to the parent image, sameersbn/ubuntu and/or sameersbn/debian, as those alreasy have some manpages.

Hi,

I've taken a peek on the latest image available, and I don't see any plugin to enable git repository hosting.

Any suggestions?

Would it be better to put arbitrary volumes under fig.yml?

Hi,

Great work on the docker images.
There is a quick suggestion for improvement, only a minor, on my part.

In your Quickstart there is something missing, currently its:

Quick Start

Run the redmine image

REDMINE=$(sudo docker run -d redmine)
REDMINE_IP=$(sudo docker inspect $REDMINE | grep IPAddres | awk -F'"' '{print $4}')

This will generate this error:

REDMINE=$(sudo docker run -d redmine)Unable to find image 'redmine' (tag: latest) locally
Pulling repository redmine
2014/01/13 17:29:02 HTTP code: 404

It should be:

Quick Start

Run the redmine image

REDMINE=$(sudo docker run -d sameersbn/redmine)
REDMINE_IP=$(sudo docker inspect $REDMINE | grep IPAddres | awk -F'"' '{print $4}')

As i said, something minor. 👍 Thanks for the docker-redmine environment!

After commiting altered version of the container one of the side effects of such an operation is that socket files are stored as plan files in the diff. One of such files is tmp/unicorn.socket, which prevents unicorn from starting up, as server sees it's not a socket and fails.

The easiest fix to that is to add a clean up into the appStart() function:

Every time the container is restarted, the script is run, which causes the example script to stack an additional cron job into the crontab. Running the recurring tasks cron many times at once causes a lot of duplicate tasks.

Presumably the correct options are to either make it so plugins/init only runs at initial configuration or to make a suggested script that doesn't insert a new cron if there's an existing entry.
