Taiga Docker

> READ THIS FIRST!: We recently announced Taiga plans for the future and they greatly affect how we manage this repository and the current Taiga 6 release. Check it here.

Getting Started

This section intends to explain how to get Taiga up and running in a simple two steps, using docker and docker-compose.

If you don't have docker installed, please follow installation instructions from docker.com: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

Additionally, it's necessary to have familiarity with Docker, docker-compose and Docker repositories.

Note branch stable should be used to deploy Taiga in production and main branch for development purposes.

Start the application

$ ./launch-all.sh

After some instants, when the application is started you can proceed to create the superuser with the following script:

$ ./taiga-manage.sh createsuperuser

The taiga-manage.sh script lets launch manage.py commands on the back instance:

$ ./taiga-manage.sh [COMMAND]

If you're testing it in your own machine, you can access the application in http://localhost:9000. If you're deploying in a server, you'll need to configure hosts and nginx as described later.

Taiga screenshot

As EXTRA: the default launch-all.sh script comes with penpot, the open-source solution for design and prototyping. The default access for the penpot application is http://localhost:9001

It's developed by the same team behind Taiga. If you want to give it a try, you can go to penpot's github or the help center to review its own configuration variables.

And finally if you just want to launch Taiga standalone, you can use the launch-taiga.sh script instead of the launch-all.sh.

Documentation

Currently, we have authored three main documentation hubs:

  • API: Our API documentation and reference for developing from Taiga API.
  • Documentation: If you need to install Taiga on your own server, this is the place to find some guides.
  • Taiga Resources: This page is intended to be the support reference page for the users.

Bug reports

If you find a bug in Taiga you can always report it:

One of our fellow Taiga developers will search, find and hunt it as soon as possible.

Please, before reporting a bug, write down how can we reproduce it, your operating system, your browser and version, and if it's possible, a screenshot. Sometimes it takes less time to fix a bug if the developer knows how to find it.

Configuration and Customisation with Environment Variables

The docker-compose.yml has some environment variables of configuration with default values that we strongly recommend to change. Those variables are needed to run Taiga. Find them in the docker-compose.yml and docker-compose-inits.yml.

Important Don't forget to review environment variables in docker-compose-inits.yml as some of them are in both files.

Apart from this configuration, you can have some customisation in Taiga, and add features that by default are disabled. Find those variables in the Customisation section and add the corresponding environment variables whenever you want to enable them.

Configuration

Database configuration

These vars will be used to create the database for Taiga and connect to it.

Important: these vars should have the same values in taiga-back and taiga-db.

Service: taiga-db

POSTGRES_DB: taiga
POSTGRES_USER: taiga
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: taiga

Service: taiga-back

POSTGRES_DB: taiga
POSTGRES_USER: taiga
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: taiga

Additionally, you can also configure POSTGRES_PORT in taiga-back. Defaults to '5432'.

Taiga Settings

Service: taiga-back

The default configuration assumes Taiga is being served in a subdomain:

TAIGA_SECRET_KEY: "taiga-back-secret-key"
TAIGA_SITES_SCHEME: "https"
TAIGA_SITES_DOMAIN: "taiga.mycompany.com"
TAIGA_SUBPATH: "/"

If Taiga is being served in a subpath instead of a subdomain, the configuration should be something like:

TAIGA_SECRET_KEY: "taiga-back-secret-key"
TAIGA_SITES_SCHEME: "https"
TAIGA_SITES_DOMAIN: "mycompany.com/taiga"
TAIGA_SUBPATH: "/taiga" # Mind just one slash

Service: taiga-front

The default configuration assumes Taiga is being served in a subdomain:

TAIGA_URL: "https://taiga.mycompany.com"
TAIGA_WEBSOCKETS_URL: "wss://taiga.mycompany.com"
TAIGA_SUBPATH: "/"

If Taiga is being served in a subpath instead of a subdomain, the configuration should be something like:

TAIGA_URL: "https://mycompany.com/taiga"
TAIGA_WEBSOCKETS_URL: "wss://mycompany.com/taiga"
TAIGA_SUBPATH: "/taiga/" # Mind both slashes

Service: taiga-events

TAIGA_SECRET_KEY: taiga-back-secret-key

Service: taiga-protected

SECRET_KEY: "taiga-back-secret-key"

TAIGA_SECRET_KEY is the secret key of Taiga. Should be the same as this var in taiga-back, taiga-events and taiga-protected. TAIGA_URL is where this Taiga instance should be served. It should be the same as TAIGA_SITES_SCHEME://TAIGA_SITES_DOMAIN. TAIGA_WEBSOCKETS_URL is used to connect to the events. This should have the same value as TAIGA_SITES_DOMAIN, ie: wss://taiga.mycompany.com.

Session Settings

Taiga doesn't use session cookies in its API as it stateless. However, the Django Admin (/admin/) uses session cookie for authentication. By default, Taiga is configured to work behind HTTPS. If you're using HTTP (despite de strong recommendations against it), you'll need to configure the following environment variables so you can access the Admin:

Service: taiga-back

SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE: "False"
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE: "False"

More info about those variables can be found here.

Email Settings

By default, email is configured with the console backend, which means that the emails will be shown in the stdout. If you have an smtp service, uncomment the "Email settings" section in docker-compose.yml and configure those environment variables:

Service: taiga-back

EMAIL_BACKEND: "django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend"
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL: "no-reply@mycompany.com"
EMAIL_HOST: "smtp.host.mycompany.com"
EMAIL_PORT: 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER: "user"
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD: "password"
EMAIL_USE_TLS: "True"
EMAIL_USE_SSL: "True"

Uncomment EMAIL_BACKEND variable, but do not modify unless you know what you're doing.

Telemetry Settings

Telemetry anonymous data is collected in order to learn about the use of Taiga and improve the platform based on real scenarios.

Service: taiga-back

ENABLE_TELEMETRY: "True"

You can opt out by setting this variable to "False". By default is "True".

Rabbit settings

These variables are used to leave messages in the rabbitmq services. These variables should be the same as in taiga-back, taiga-async, taiga-events, taiga-async-rabbitmq and taiga-events-rabbitmq.

Service: taiga-back

RABBITMQ_USER: taiga
RABBITMQ_PASS: taiga

Two other variables EVENTS_PUSH_BACKEND_URL and CELERY_BROKER_URL can also be used to set the events push backend URL and celery broker URL.

EVENTS_PUSH_BACKEND_URL: "amqp://taiga:taiga@taiga-events-rabbitmq:5672/taiga"
CELERY_BROKER_URL: "amqp://taiga:taiga@taiga-async-rabbitmq:5672/taiga"

Service: taiga-events

RABBITMQ_USER: taiga
RABBITMQ_PASS: taiga

Service: taiga-async-rabbitmq

RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE: secret-erlang-cookie
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER: taiga
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS: taiga
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_VHOST: taiga

Service: taiga-events-rabbitmq

RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE: secret-erlang-cookie
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER: taiga
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS: taiga
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_VHOST: taiga

Taiga protected settings

Service: taiga-protected

MAX_AGE: 360

The attachments will be accesible with a token during MAX_AGE (in seconds). After that, the token will expire.

Customisation

All these features are disabled by default. You should add the corresponding environment variables with a proper value to enable them.

Registration Settings

Service: taiga-back

PUBLIC_REGISTER_ENABLED: "True"

Service: taiga-front

PUBLIC_REGISTER_ENABLED: "true"

If you want to allow a public register, configure this variable to "True". By default is "False". Should be the same as this var in taiga-front and taiga-back.

Important: Taiga (in its default configuration) disables both Gitlab or Github oauth buttons whenever the public registration option hasn't been activated. To be able to use Github/ Gitlab login/registration, make sure you have public registration activated on your Taiga instance.

Slack Settings

Service: taiga-back

ENABLE_SLACK: "True"

Service: taiga-front

ENABLE_SLACK: "true"

Enable Slack integration in your Taiga instance. By default is "False". Should have the same value as this variable in taiga-front and taiga-back.

Storage

We have 3 named volumes configured: taiga-static-data for statics, taiga-media-data for medias and taiga-db-data for the database.

Advanced customization (via configuration files)

For a advanced customization, you can use configuration files, mapped to specific directories inside the containers.

taiga-back

Map a Python configuration file to /taiga-back/settings/config.py. You can use this file as an example.

Important: if you use your own configuration file, don't forget to add contribs to INSTALLED_APPS (check the example config.py).

taiga-front

Map a conf.jsonconfiguration file to /usr/share/nginx/html/conf.json. You can use this file as an example.
