Trac
From the project web page:
- Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management. Our mission is to help developers write great software while staying out of the way. Trac should impose as little as possible on a team's established development process and policies.
Installation
Install the tracAUR package. Configuration is done on a per-environment basis. See below on how to create an environment. Detailed instructions can be found at https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracGuide.
Configuration
Create and initialize an environment
Initialize an environment
# cd /srv/ # mkdir tracenv # trac-admin /srv/tracenv initenv
The environment configuration can be found at /srv/tracenv/conf/trac.ini
.
Configure the systemd unit
Edit tracd.service
using a drop-in file point to your new environment. The ExecStart
entry should look something like this:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/tracd -b localhost -p 8080 /srv/tracenv
Webinterface
Start/enable the service and you can view the web interface at http://localhost:8080
using a web browser.
Trac user
It is a good idea to create a dedicated user for the trac service. Once that user is created, you can create the environment using that user:
# cd /srv/ # mkdir tracenv # chown trac:trac tracenv # sudo -u trac trac-admin /srv/tracenv initenv
Extend the unit file to make sure it is started as the trac
user:
[Service] User=trac Group=trac
Users and permissions within trac
(This section refers to creating users within the trac environment rather than GNU/Linux users.)
Next, you will want to add users and give permissions to those users. To add users, see https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracStandalone#UsingAuthentication (you will have to change your .service
file to refer to the authentication mechanism you choose). To grant permissions to users, run the following on the trac server:
# trac-admin /srv/tracenv permission add <username> TRAC_ADMIN
