For those interested, I set up a small repo with script which tries (and currently fails) to install OP on uberspace: https://github.com/quazgar/openproject_install

Hi Daniel,

I had a look at your documentation, thanks for the effort to write this down somewhere. I’m looking into where we can reference this from our page so others can benefit from it.

Regarding your error: Your installation script specifies ruby 2.4.3, but the backtrace in https://github.com/quazgar/openproject_install suggests that actually ruby 2.5.0 is being installed and used, which is not yet supported due to various deprecations in it:

The issue you’re seeing is solved by updating delayed_job which we’ll do as soon as support for ruby 2.5. is done here:

Most of it came from other people, I just created a bash script out of it. But I am happy to help!

That backtrace was from when I tried to install it on a more bleeding edge version of the shared hosts, where CentOS7 is installed, IIRC. That was a first try, but if it worked there as well, everyone would profit from it of course.

Here is the answere of your question :

Installing OpenProject (OP) on a shared hosting system like Uberspace without root access can be challenging due to the limitations of shared environments. However, it's still possible with some adjustments. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you install OpenProject on Uberspace:

Check Requirements:

• Ensure your Uberspace account meets the minimum requirements for running OpenProject, including Ruby, RubyGems, Node.js, and a supported database like MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Download OpenProject:

• Download the OpenProject package from the official website or GitHub repository to your local machine.

Prepare Uberspace Environment:

• Log in to your Uberspace account via SSH.
• Create a directory where you want to install OpenProject.
• Set up a virtual environment for Ruby if it's not already available.

Install Dependencies:

• Install required dependencies such as Ruby gems and Node.js packages using Bundler and npm.

Configure Database:

• Set up a MySQL or PostgreSQL database on Uberspace for OpenProject.
• Note down the database credentials as you'll need them during the installation process.

Configure OpenProject:

• Navigate to the directory where you downloaded OpenProject.
• Copy the config/database.yml.example file to config/database.yml and edit it with your database credentials.

Initialize Database:

• Run the database migration and seed scripts to set up the database schema and initial data.

Compile Assets:

• Compile the assets (CSS, JS) using the provided tools (e.g., Webpack, Yarn) to generate the necessary files for the frontend.

Start OpenProject:

• Start the OpenProject service or web server using the provided command-line interface (CLI) tools.

Configure Web Server:

• Configure your web server (e.g., Nginx, Apache) to serve OpenProject.
• Create a virtual host configuration that points to the OpenProject installation directory.
• Ensure that the web server has proper permissions to access the OpenProject files.

Test Installation:

• Access OpenProject via your web browser using the domain or subdomain configured in your web server.
• Verify that you can log in, create projects, and access the various features without any errors.

Troubleshoot Errors:

• If you encounter any errors during the installation or configuration process, refer to the documentation, forums, or community resources for assistance.
• Check log files for any error messages that can help diagnose the issue.

Regular Maintenance:

• Keep your OpenProject installation and dependencies up to date by applying patches and updates as they become available.
• Monitor system performance and address any issues promptly to ensure smooth operation.

Keep in mind that running OpenProject on a shared hosting environment may have limitations compared to dedicated servers or cloud instances, particularly in terms of performance and resource availability. However, with proper configuration and optimization, you can still use OpenProject effectively for project management on Uberspace.
