How to install plugins in PKGR version

Added by Andreas Hackel about 11 years ago

Hi!

I installed OpenProject using PKGR (https://pkgr.io/apps/tessi/openproject) which I can recommend since it is an easy and painless process.

I haven’t been able to add any plugins to the installation though. How do we do this? Simply creating a Gemfile.plugin file and following the upgrade steps (sudo openproject run rake db:migrate) doesn’t work.

Thanks
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I am the author of the PKGR project. Please note that the pkgr installation is not (yet) officially supported by the OpenProject team. It’s a thing I did in my free time :).

That being said, I just haven’t had enough time to think about pkgr and plugins.
It is, however, possible to manually install plugins (by adding a Gemfile.plugins file and doing a bundle install etc.). At this point you have the usual installation pain back.
Maybe there is a way to install plugins via apt-get too (sudo apt-get install openproject-translations) - currently, I have no idea how to acomplish that, though.

A different way would be to not package the OpenProject core, but include some ‘default plugins’ into the openproject package. This is pretty easy, but we have to settle for a given set of plugins everyone agrees with.

yours,
tessi

Hi Tessi!

Thanks for the quick reply.

I hope your project gets official support soon. I was impressed how simple and quick I could install OpenProject with PKGR after spending much time doing it the manual way.

Thanks for the great work you do in your free time! :)

Hello again,

Cyril (the pkgr.io founder) was so kind to provide plugin installation steps in his github gist .

I tested his instructions on my test setup and they work well :)

Disclaimer: I cannot guaranteee if all future openproject updates work with the plugins (I simply cannot test all possible combinations of all plugins). So take extra care with updates.

Hi All,

As a new user I found the installation using this method quite painless. Thank you!

The only problem I had was getting email working. Well, it was working but I couldn’t tell because I had the “I don’t want to be notified of changes that I make myself” box checked in my/account. The test email apparently abides by this box and won’t send the test email to you. I just wanted to alert anyone else who may run into the same problem.

Also, I was able to install the Meetings, Git and Documents plugins. In the case of Meetings I had to use the “dev” branch to get it working on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
