Redmine

Redmine is a free and open source, web-based project management and issue tracking tool.

TL;DR;

$ helm install stable/redmine

Introduction

This chart bootstraps a Redmine deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

It also packages the Bitnami MariaDB chart which is required for bootstrapping a MariaDB deployment for the database requirements of the Redmine application.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.4+ with Beta APIs enabled
• PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

$ helm install --name my-release stable/redmine

The command deploys Redmine on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the Redmine chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
image	Redmine image	bitnami/redmine:{VERSION}
imagePullPolicy	Image pull policy	IfNotPresent
redmineUsername	User of the application	user
redminePassword	Application password	random 10 character long alphanumeric string
redmineEmail	Admin email	user@example.com
redmineLanguage	Redmine default data language	en
smtpHost	SMTP host	nil
smtpPort	SMTP port	nil
smtpUser	SMTP user	nil
smtpPassword	SMTP password	nil
smtpTls	Use TLS encryption with SMTP	nil
mariadb.mariadbRootPassword	MariaDB admin password	nil
serviceType	Kubernetes Service type	LoadBalancer
persistence.enabled	Enable persistence using PVC	true
persistence.storageClass	PVC Storage Class	nil (uses alpha storage class annotation)
persistence.accessMode	PVC Access Mode	ReadWriteOnce
persistence.size	PVC Storage Request	8Gi

The above parameters map to the env variables defined in bitnami/redmine. For more information please refer to the bitnami/redmine image documentation.

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release \
  --set redmineUsername=admin,redminePassword=password,mariadb.mariadbRootPassword=secretpassword \
    stable/redmine

The above command sets the Redmine administrator account username and password to admin and password respectively. Additionally it sets the MariaDB root user password to secretpassword.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/redmine

Tip: You can use the default values.yaml

Persistence

The Bitnami Redmine image stores the Redmine data and configurations at the /bitnami/redmine path of the container.

Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube. See the Configuration section to configure the PVC or to disable persistence.
