subtrac

Simple and opinionated helper for creating and managing subversion and trac projects.

Installing on VirtualBox 2.2

Start with a Fresh VM Image Install jeos (hardy)

install the guest additions

# mount guest additions (select Devices>Install Guest Additions from menu) 
sudo mount /media/cdrom0/ -o unhide
# install gcc and make
sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
sudo /cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run all

install openssh-server?

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

some other pre-requisites

sudo aptitude install ruby1.8-dev ruby1.8 ri1.8 rdoc1.8 sqlite3

install apache2, python and some modules

sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-python libapache2-mod-python-doc \
    libapache2-svn python-setuptools subversion python-subversion \
graphviz htmldoc enscript
# enable mod_rewrite
sudo a2enmod rewrite

install Trac

sudo easy_install -U setuptools
sudo easy_install Trac

some cool plugins

install gems and update

sudo apt-get install rubygems
sudo gem update --system

Which introduced this error: /usr/bin/gem:23: uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner(NameError) Simply add the line to the file /usr/bin/gem (may be different on a mac) require 'rubygems/gem_runner' after require 'rubygems' OR

sudo mv /usr/bin/gem /usr/bin/gem.old; sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem

# edit bash.bashrc so all users can run the gem binaries
sudo vi /etc/bash.bashrc ? not sure we need this any more...
# add github to the gem sources list
sudo gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
# install subtrac gem package
sudo gem install ktec-subtrac

Note: since gems and ubuntu don't entirely play nicely, its necessary to add the gem path to .bashrc file. For all users, you can add it here: sudo vi /etc/bash.bashrc

    ...
    export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin

install subtrac server

sudo subtrac install [--clean]

Other things to setup

Mount a shared host folder from the VM Guest

manually

sudo mkdir /mnt/subtrac
sudo mount.vboxsf pkg /mnt/subtrac/

automatically

sudo vi /etc/fstab

add the following line:

Shared /mnt/Shared vboxsf defaults,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0


This way i can install all the repos and trac on a mounted volume, which means all the data is separated from the appliance and can be part of my back up process.

Setting up VM to use an internal loop back interface

Configure the interface

sudo ifconfig vboxnet0 192.168.56.1 up

Configure the VM

VBoxManage modifyvm dev.subtrac.com -hostifdev2 'vboxnet0: ethernet'

Boot it, and give it a static address on the same subnet, mine looks like this:

Assign a static ip to interface2

sudo vi /etc/networking/interfaces

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

# The secondary network interface
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
    address 192.168.56.2
    netmask 255.255.255.0

For linux users there's an even cooler way to set this up... http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2009/04/08/virtualbox-access-guests-via-a-virtual-interface/

OSX Map your new domain to the ip

sudo mate /private/etc/hosts 

192.168.56.2 dev.subtrac.com

OSX Auto start the VM on bootup

sudo mate /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.subtrac.dev.plist

And make it look something like this:
