Same here… I guess only manual installation is available now, unfortunately.

Hi everyone,

we will likely support Debian Stretch in the near future. As we ship packages through the packager.io service, we require and pay for their services to enable new distributions. This is why we support (and pay for) a very specific set of distributions.

If you require Stretch support right now, please contact us at sales@openproject.com. We will prioritize support for distributions if a new enterprise customers requires it.

Best,
Oliver

Hi,

Manual installation fails too, anyhow, I could solve the problem by the moment installing the docker version. Thank you very much for your quick response.

Best regards.

Hi Oswaldo,

could you post the error output during your manual installation here?

Best,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,

Yes sure.. The problem comes when you try to build ruby 2.3 on stretch with the command “rbenv install 2.3.0”…

"rbenv install 2.3.0

It’s in Spanish, sorry for that, but in synthesis the problem is the “ossl_cipher.o” library.

I’m pretty sure that there is a way to solve this issue, but frankly, I didn’t spend too much time researching about this… I was running out of time and for that reason I decided to use the docker version instead.

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,

BTW, herein find attached the complete log.

Cheers.

Hi Oswaldo,

We have had issues with Debian 8 and ruby 2.3. in the past, so please use ruby build to install the 2.4.1 version instead.

rbenv install 2.4.1
rbenv global 2.4.1

ruby --version
ruby 2.4.1p111 (2017-03-22 revision 58053) [x86_64-darwin15]

You may also need additional dependencies for ruby in Debian 9 that the manual installation guide (targeted at Ubuntu 14.04) does not specify.

Please help us update the manual installation guide in this case should you succeed to install on Debian 9.

Best,
Oliver

Hi Oliver

I tried also with version 2.4.1 without success because apparently the command “bundle install” does not work anymore with that version, at least in
Stretch. On the other hand, with version 2.4.0 I could, however there is an error with mysql dependency that does not match with stretch, because mysql was replaced entirely by mariadb in Debian 9.

I will try to research a bit later on and I’ll keep you posted if I find a solution.

Cheers.

Hi Oliver

FInally after several tries, I was able to install manually Openproject in Debian 9. It was really tricky but it’s working properly.

Just let me know how can I update the manual installation guide.

Cheers

Hi Oswaldo,

great news!
you can help us by editing the markdown file in GitHub and create a pull request from the changes.

OK.. I’m gonna proceed.

Hi Oliver,

Pull request has been created.

Cheers

Hi Oswaldo,

I can’t seem to see the PR on https://github.com/opf/openproject/pulls, can you try again?

Best,
Oliver

Hi Oliver

Sorry for my late reply..

Ok let me double check.

I’ll keep u posted.

Hi,

I’ve tried installation on stretch, but at the end of Installation of OpenProject when I run this step npm install, it returns an error:

npm WARN openproject-frontend@0.1.0 No repository field.
npm WARN openproject-frontend@0.1.0 No license field.

see terminal.txt for full command output.

I’ve installed ruby 2.4.1 instead of 2.3.0. This is the only difference with the manual installation document.

Could someone help, please?

Hi

Herein find my notes in order to install openproject in Stretch properly. You have to make some changes…

I’m gonna create a pull request in order to upload the instruction to the wiki. I’m gonna try to do it tonight.

Cheers.

Thank you, it works.

I had to add environment variables to my crontab for it to work, and the command path is also different. I don’t know if it’s the best setting (RAILS_ENV, may be enought), but it seems it works.
