QUICK_START.md

Quick Start for Developers

Detailed installation instructions for different platforms are located on the OpenProject website.

You can find information on configuring OpenProject in config/CONFIGURATION.md.

Fast install (Docker version)

Prerequisites

• Git
• Docker Engine
• Docker Compose

Building and running

1. Build the image (this will take some time)

    docker-compose build
   

2. Start and setup the database

    docker-compose up -d db
    cp config/database.docker.yml config/database.yml
    docker-compose run web rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
   

3. Start the other processes

    docker-compose up
   

Assets should be automatically recompiled anytime you make a change, and your ruby code should also be reloaded when you change a file locally.

You can run arbitrary commands in the context of the application by using docker-compose run. For instance:

docker-compose run web rake db:migrate
docker-compose run web rails c
...

Fast install (manual)

These are generic (and condensed) installation instructions for the current dev branch without plugins, and optimised for a development environment. Refer to the OpenProject website for instructions for the stable branch, OpenProject configurations with plugins, as well as platform-specific guides.

Prerequisites

• Git
• Database (MySQL 5.x/PostgreSQL 8.x)
• Ruby 2.1.x
• Node.js (tested on LTS v6.9.1, lower versions may work)
• Bundler (version 1.5.1 or higher required)

Install Dependencies

1. Install Ruby dependencies with Bundler:

    bundle install
   

2. Install JavaScript dependencies with npm:

    npm install
   

3. Install foreman gem:

    [sudo] gem install foreman
   

Configure Rails

1. Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml:

    cd config
    cp database.yml.example database.yml
   

   Edit database.yml according to your preferred database's settings.

2. Copy config/configuration.yml.example to config/configuration.yml:

    cp configuration.yml.example configuration.yml
    cd ..
   

   Edit configuration.yml according to your preferred settings for email, etc. (see config/CONFIGURATION.md for a full list of configuration options).

3. Create databases, schemas and populate with seed data:

    # bundle exec rake db:create:all
    # bundle exec rake db:migrate
    # bundle exec rake db:seed
   

4. Generate a secret token for the session store:

    bundle exec rake generate_secret_token
   

Run!

1. Start OpenProject in development mode:

    foreman start -f Procfile.dev
   

   The application will be available at http://127.0.0.1:5000. To customize bind address and port copy the .env.sample provided in the root of this project as .env and configure values as required.

   By default a worker process will also be started. In development asynchronous execution of long-running background tasks (sending emails, copying projects, etc.) may be of limited use. To disable the worker process:

    echo "concurrency: web=1,assets=1,worker=0" >> .foreman
   

   For more information refer to Foreman documentation section on default options.

You can access the application with the admin-account having the following credentials:

    Username: admin
    Password: admin
