Why use Bitnami Images?

Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading linux distribution.
Bitnami container images are released daily with the latest distribution packages available.

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.

Bitnami containers can be used with Kubeapps for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.

Supported tags and respective `Dockerfile` links

NOTE: Debian 8 images have been deprecated in favor of Debian 9 images. Bitnami will not longer publish new Docker images based on Debian 8.

Prerequisites

To run this application you need Docker Engine 1.10.0. Docker Compose is recomended with a version 1.6.0 or later.

How to use this image

Run Redmine with a Database Container

Running Redmine with a database server is the recommended way. You can either use docker-compose or run the containers manually.

Run the application using Docker Compose

This is the recommended way to run Redmine. You can use the following docker compose template:

version: '2'

services:
  mariadb:
    image: 'bitnami/mariadb:latest'
    environment:
      - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
    volumes:
      - 'mariadb_data:/bitnami'
  redmine:
    image: 'bitnami/redmine:latest'
    ports:
      - '80:3000'
    volumes:
      - 'redmine_data:/bitnami'
    depends_on:
      - mariadb
volumes:
  mariadb_data:
    driver: local
  redmine_data:
    driver: local

Run the application manually

If you want to run the application manually instead of using docker-compose, these are the basic steps you need to run:

Create a new network for the application and the database:

$ docker network create redmine_network

Start a MariaDB database in the network generated:

$ docker run -d --name mariadb --net=redmine_network \
    -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
    bitnami/mariadb

Note: You need to give the container a name in order to Redmine to resolve the host

Run the Redmine container:

$ docker run -d --name redmine --net=redmine_network -p 80:3000 \
    bitnami/redmine

Then you can access your application at http://your-ip/

Run the application using PostgreSQL database

The Bitnami Redmine Docker Image supports both MariaDB and PostgreSQL databases. In order to use a PostgreSQL database you can run the following command:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-postgresql.yml up

or use the next docker-compose template:

version: '2'

services:
  postgresql:
    image: 'bitnami/postgresql:latest'
    volumes:
      - 'postgresql_data:/bitnami'
  redmine:
    image: 'bitnami/redmine:latest'
    ports:
      - '80:3000'
    environment:
      - REDMINE_DB_POSTGRES=postgresql
    volumes:
      - 'redmine_data:/bitnami'
    depends_on:
      - postgresql
volumes:
  postgresql_data:
    driver: local
  redmine_data:
    driver: local

Persisting your application

If you remove the container all your data and configurations 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 volume at the /bitnami path. Additionally you should mount a volume for persistence of the MariaDB data.

The above examples define docker volumes namely mariadb_data and redmine_data. The Redmine application state will persist as long as these volumes are not removed.

To avoid inadvertent removal of these volumes you can mount host directories as data volumes. Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.

Mount host directories as data volumes with Docker Compose

The following docker-compose.yml template demonstrates the use of host directories as data volumes.

version: '2'

  mariadb:
    image: 'bitnami/mariadb:latest'
    environment:
      - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
    volumes:
      - '/path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami'
  redmine:
    image: bitnami/redmine:latest
    ports:
      - 80:3000
    volumes:
      - '/path/to/redmine-persistence:/bitnami'

Mount host directories as data volumes using the Docker command line

Create a network (if it does not exist):

$ docker network create redmine-tier

Create a MariaDB container with host volume:

$ docker run -d --name mariadb --net redmine-tier \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --volume /path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami \
  bitnami/mariadb:latest

Note: You need to give the container a name in order to Redmine to resolve the host

Run the Redmine container:

$ docker run -d --name redmine -p 80:3000 --net redmine-tier \
  --volume /path/to/redmine-persistence:/bitnami \
  bitnami/redmine:latest

Upgrade this application

Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of MariaDB and Redmine, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. We will cover here the upgrade of the Redmine container. For the MariaDB upgrade see https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mariadb/blob/master/README.md#upgrade-this-image

Get the updated images:

$ docker pull bitnami/redmine:latest

Stop your container

For docker-compose: $ docker-compose stop redmine
For manual execution: $ docker stop redmine

Take a snapshot of the application state

$ rsync -a /path/to/redmine-persistence /path/to/redmine-persistence.bkp.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H.%M.%S)

Additionally, snapshot the MariaDB data

You can use these snapshots to restore the application state should the upgrade fail.

Remove the currently running container

For docker-compose: $ docker-compose rm redmine
For manual execution: $ docker rm redmine

Run the new image

For docker-compose: $ docker-compose up redmine
For manual execution (mount the directories if needed): docker run --name redmine bitnami/redmine:latest

Configuration

Environment variables

When you start the redmine image, you can adjust the configuration of the instance by passing one or more environment variables either on the docker-compose file or on the docker run command line. If you want to add a new environment variable:

For docker-compose add the variable name and value under the application section:

redmine:
  image: bitnami/redmine:latest
  ports:
    - 80:3000
  environment:
    - REDMINE_PASSWORD=my_password
  volumes:
    - 'redmine_data:/bitnami'
  depends_on:
    - mariadb

For manual execution add a -e option with each variable and value:

 $ docker run -d --name redmine --network=redmine_network -p 80:3000 \
     -e REDMINE_PASSWORD=my_password \
     -v /your/local/path/bitnami/redmine:/bitnami \
     bitnami/redmine

Available variables:

REDMINE_USERNAME: Redmine application username. Default: user
REDMINE_PASSWORD: Redmine application password. Default: bitnami1
REDMINE_EMAIL: Redmine application email. Default: user@example.com
REDMINE_LANG: Redmine application default language. Default: en
REDMINE_DB_USERNAME: Root user for the application database. Default: root
REDMINE_DB_PASSWORD: Root password for the database.
REDMINE_DB_MYSQL: Hostname for MySQL server. Default: mariadb
REDMINE_DB_POSTGRES: Hostname for PostgreSQL server. No defaults
REDMINE_DB_PORT_NUMBER: Port used by database server. Default: 3306

SMTP Configuration

To configure Redmine to send email using SMTP you can set the following environment variables:

SMTP_HOST: SMTP host.
SMTP_PORT: SMTP port.
SMTP_USER: SMTP account user.
SMTP_PASSWORD: SMTP account password.
SMTP_TLS: Use TLS encription with SMTP. Default true

This would be an example of SMTP configuration using a GMail account:

docker-compose:

  redmine:
    image: bitnami/redmine:latest
    ports:
      - 80:3000
    environment:
      - SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
      - SMTP_PORT=587
      - SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com
      - SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password

For manual execution:

 $ docker run -d -p 80:3000 --name redmine --network=redmine_network \
    -e SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com \
    -e SMTP_PORT=587 \
    -e SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com \
    -e SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password \
    -v /your/local/path/bitnami/redmine:/bitnami \
    bitnami/redmine
