fab prod_db_dump

This will save a databse dump in the dbdumps directory, such as dbdumps/tickets-20150208.sql.gz.

Run Redmine locally ideally using the same Ruby version as the production server. You'll need the Redmine database loaded and accessible with the development credentials in private/database.yml.

Checkout repository submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Use a Ruby environment already configured with the Redmine dependencies:

rvm use ruby-1.9.3@tickets

Or, setup an RVM environment:

rvm install ruby-1.9.3
rvm use ruby-1.9.3
rvm gemset create tickets
gem install bundler
cd redmine
bundle install

Run Redmine:

export RAILS_ENV=development
rake generate_secret_token tmp:cache:clear tmp:sessions:clear
rake db:migrate redmine:plugins:migrate
rails server

Obtain a Vagrant with the same Linux distribution as the production server, such as Ubuntu's and declare it in Vagrantfile config.vm.box.

Bring up the Vagrant VM:

vagrant up

Configure your local DNS so you can ssh into the Vagrant VM with ssh tickets.local.

Load a Redmine database into the VM accessible with the credentials in the fabfile's vagrant task. There are tasks in the fabfile to help with this:

fab prod_db_dump

This will create a current dump, for example dbdumps/tickets-20150208.sql.gz. Load it to the Vagrant VM with:

fab load_db_dump_to_vagrant:tickets-20150208.sql.gz

Prepare the server for Redmine, and deploy a Git refspec:

fab vagrant setup_env
fab vagrant deploy:origin/feature/2.6

Provision an instance with OMBU Puppet manifest tickets.pp. Load a database dump into the remote database server. Configure a host task for the instance in fabfile.py.

fab instance setup_env
fab instance deploy:origin/feature/2.6

• Manually rsync /home/ombu/redmine-uploads/ and /home/ombu/redmine-uploads-stage/

    mysqldump -u root -p tickets > tickets.sql
    mysql -u root -p -D tickets-stage < tickets.sql
  

git submodule add git://github.com/edavis10/redmine-timesheet-plugin.git plugins/timesheet
git commit -m '' && git push
fab staging deploy:96c048c088663b04480b35329136c002a7e7c525

For example, to upgrade to a new repository tag 2.6.1:

cd redmine && git fetch && git fetch --tags
git checkout 2.6.1
bundle update
rake db:migrate redmine:plugins:migrate
cd .. && git add redmine
