Config¶

setup email¶

add following parameter to /opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/apps/redmine/htdocs/config/configuration.yml

# about line 83
# default configuration options for all environments
default:
  # Outgoing emails configuration (see examples above)
  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :smtp
    smtp_settings:

      address: "mail.example.com" 
      port: 25
      domain: 'example.com'
      authentication: :login
      user_name: "redmine@example.com" 
      password: "secret" 
      enable_starttls_auto: true
      #openssl_verify_mode: 'none'
      #enable_starttls_auto: true

setup receiving email¶

add following shell-script to /usr/local/bin/redmine_recv_mail.sh

#!/bin/sh

PATH="/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/perl/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/git/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/sqlite/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/ruby/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/subversion/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/postgresql/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/php/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/mysql/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/apache2/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/common/bin:$PATH" 

/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/ruby/bin/rake -f '/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/apps/redmine/htdocs/Rakefile' redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" ssl=1 host=mail.example.com port=993 username=redmine@example.com password=secret unknown_user=create no_permission_check=1 

this setup will accept mails from everyone and automagically register unknown users.

add following cron-file /etc/cron.d/redmine_mail_recv

 */15 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/redmine_recv_mail.sh

if you get an error about bundle you may want to try

cd /opt/redmine-2.5.2-2
./use_redmine
gem install rake -v 10.1.1

if you get an error about SSL-certificate (self signed) you may bypass SSL-verify by adding this file to /opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/apps/redmine/htdocs/config/initializers/avoid_ssl_verification.rb

    require 'openssl'
    OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

setup log-rotating¶

The Bitnami-Stack does not preconfigure log-rotating for the production.log located in /opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/apps/redmine/htdocs/log. Although you could use the standard Logrotate it's recommended (http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/11836) to use the Ruby-functionality. Add following parameter to /opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/apps/redmine/htdocs/config/environments/production.rb and restart the Bitnami-Stack.

According to http://www.redmine.org/issues/11603 you have to provide a file directly to Logger.new instead of the sample in the production.rb.

# 7 log-files, 20MB each
config.logger = Logger.new('/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/apps/redmine/htdocs/log/production.log', 7, 20971520)
config.logger.level = Logger::INFO

ll /opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/apps/redmine/htdocs/log/

total 1504
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 root   daemon      36 Jul  6 14:44 delete.me
-rw-r--r--. 1 daemon daemon    3295 Sep 20 10:55 production.log
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 root   daemon 1523773 Sep 20 10:52 production.log.0

setup Redmine-Logo¶

http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Howto_add_a_logo_to_your_Redmine_banner

edit following file /opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/apps/redmine/htdocs/app/views/layouts/base.html.erb

#line 44
<h1><img src="<%= Redmine::Utils.relative_url_root %>/images/logo.png" style="top-margin: 15px; left-margin: 15px;"/> <%= page_header_title %></h1>

copy logo.png to /opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/apps/redmine/htdocs/public/images

Nagging¶

There are a couple of plugins available, we are trying to do our own thing.

create a read only user¶

mysql -u root -p
grant select on bitnami_redmine.* to 'redmine_reader'@'localhost';

create a sql-statement¶

http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/DatabaseModel

This statement lists all open issues from the project with the internal ID 33 and all sub-projects with a due-date earlier than today+7days. All issue-IDs will be click-able links in the nag-mail.

SELECT CONCAT('@@@1@http://www.example.com/redmine/issues/',_i.id,'@@@2@',_i.id,'@@@3@') AS ID,_is.name AS STATUS,_p.name AS Projekt ,LEFT(_i.subject,100) AS Thema,_i.due_date AS Zieldatum,_u.mail 
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT _b.id,_b.name 
      FROM (SELECT _p.name,_p.id 
            FROM projects AS _p 
            WHERE _p.id=33 OR _p.parent_id=33
           ) AS pp, projects AS _b 
      WHERE _b.parent_id=pp.id OR _b.id=33 ORDER BY _b.name
     ) AS _p,
     issues AS _i, 
     issue_statuses AS _is , 
     users AS _u 
WHERE _p.id = _i.project_id AND _i.status_id=_is.id AND _u.id=_i.assigned_to_id AND _is.is_closed=0 AND _i.due_date<=ADDDATE(curdate(),7) 
ORDER BY _p.name,_i.id;

the funny @@n groups are used later on.

create a html-mail¶

create a little shell-sript redmine_send_mail.sh that

• fetches the data from the database
• forms a valid html-mail
• sends the mail to one recipient

#!/bin/sh

PATH="/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/perl/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/git/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/sqlite/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/ruby/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/subversion/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/postgresql/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/php/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/mysql/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/apache2/bin:/opt/redmine-2.5.2-2/common/bin:$PATH" 

#export List from DB
mysql -u redmine_reader -H -B bitnami_redmine < list.sql > /tmp/redmine_mysql_output

#replace special stuff
sed -i -e 's/@@@1@/<a href="/g' /tmp/redmine_mysql_output
sed -i -e 's/@@@2@/">/g' /tmp/redmine_mysql_output
sed -i -e 's/@@@3@/<\/a>/g' /tmp/redmine_mysql_output

echo 'Subject: weekly audit "all open issues due within the next 7 days"' > /tmp/redmine_mail_raw
echo 'to: user@example.com' >> /tmp/redmine_mail_raw
echo 'MIME-Version: 1.0' >> /tmp/redmine_mail_raw
echo 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8' >> /tmp/redmine_mail_raw

echo '' >> /tmp/redmine_mail_raw
echo '<html>' >> /tmp/redmine_mail_raw
echo '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">' >> /tmp/redmine_mail_raw

#export List from DB
cat /tmp/redmine_mysql_output >> /tmp/redmine_mail_raw
echo '</html>' >> /tmp/redmine_mail_raw

#send mail
cat /tmp/redmine_mail_raw | sendmail -t

use cron to nag periodically¶

run the shell-script from above every monday at 8:00am. /etc/cron.d/redmine_audit

# JKE 2014-10-22
#
# minute hour day month dayofweek
# m h d m d
