# Create the file repository configuration:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'

# Import the repository signing key:
sudo apt install wget
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -

# Update the package lists:
sudo apt-get update

# Install the latest version of PostgreSQL.
# If you want a specific version, use 'postgresql-12' or similar instead of 'postgresql':
sudo apt-get -y install postgresql-13

Step2. Create an empty database and accompanying user

sudo -u postgres psql

CREATE ROLE redmine LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'my_password' NOINHERIT VALID UNTIL 'infinity';
CREATE DATABASE redmine WITH ENCODING='UTF8' OWNER=redmine;
ALTER DATABASE "redmine" SET datestyle="ISO,MDY";

\du
\l
show datestyle;

Step3. Database connection configuration

sudo su redmine
cd
cp ~/redmine-4.2/config/database.yml.example ~/redmine-4.2/config/database.yml
vi ~/redmine-4.2/config/database.yml

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
echo "source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
type rvm | head -n 1

rvm install 2.7.3
rvm use 2.7.3
rvm use 2.7.3 --default
rvm list
ruby -v

echo "export GEM_HOME=\$HOME/.gem" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Step2. Install Redmine

cd ~/redmine-4.2
gem install bundler
bundle install --without development test
bundle exec rake generate_secret_token
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake redmine:load_default_data

# =====================
mkdir -p tmp tmp/pdf public/plugin_assets
sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp public/plugin_assets
sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets

sudo find files log tmp public/plugin_assets -type f -exec chmod -x {} +

Passenger + Nginx

Ref: https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/install/nginx/install/oss/rubygems%5Frvm/
Step 1: install gem

gem install passenger --no-rdoc --no-ri

Step 3: run the Passenger Nginx module installer

source ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bash_profile
# NOTE RAM need 2GB or more
rvmsudo passenger-install-nginx-module

Step 4: validate installation

rvmsudo passenger-config validate-install

Using Nginx

Starting Nginx
You can start Nginx by running:
sudo /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx
Shutting down Nginx
You can shut down Nginx by killing its PID with the kill command. To find out what Nginx’s PID is, use the ps command. For example:
ps auxw | grep nginx
Restarting Nginx
Restarting Nginx is the same as shutting down Nginx, and starting it again. For example:
```
sudo kill $(cat /opt/nginx/logs/nginx.pid)
sudo /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx
```

Nginx Configuration

sudo -E vi /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
uncomment user nobody and set to user redmine

Install SSL

Ref: https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/debianbuster-nginx

Step1. Install SSL by Let’s encrypt

# install certbot
sudo apt install -y snapd
sudo snap install core; sudo snap refresh core
sudo snap install --classic certbot
sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot
sudo certbot --version
# auto build ssl by certbot
sudo certbot certonly \
     --webroot -w /home/redmine/redmine-4.2/public \
     -d redmine.shdennlin.org \
     -m [email protected] \
     --agree-tos
# Test automatic renewal 
sudo certbot renew --dry-run

Step2. SSL configuration in nginx

sudo -E vi /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

server {
    # omit...

    listen 443 ssl;

    # RSA certificate
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/redmine.shdennlin.org/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/redmine.shdennlin.org/privkey.pem;
}

reload Nginx

# test Nginx
sudo /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx -t

# restart nginx
sudo kill $(cat /opt/nginx/logs/nginx.pid)
sudo /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx
# show nginx status
ps auxw | grep nginx
