<UPDATE 08-03-2011> Upgraded Icescrum to 3R#8, and set back jvm settings to 512M hoping grails 1.3.7 addresses the memory leak issues. </UPDATE>
<UPDATE 18-02-2011> I've updated the patch to the latest version of Icescrum and fixed some bugs. Also, the memory requirements for this one have rised a lot, as in my tests this app is memory hungry, maybe because it's using openjdk instead of oracle's jdk, or maybe due to a bug in grails 1.3.6 which causes a memory leak.
</Update>
Agile is coming to TurnkeyLinux! This TKLPatch will convert a tomcat-11.0-lucid appliance into an IceScrum server! You'll be ready to go to manage your teams using Scrum, an iterative, incremental methodology for project management. IceScrum is an J2EE application for using Scrum while keeping the spirit of a collaborative workspace. It also offers virtual boards with post-its for sprint backlog, product backlog and others.
[Update] ISO available for testing here.[/update]
Requirements:
- You'll need at least 2GB RAM on your VM to run this one.
Features:
- Icescrum R3#7 installation.
- Inithook script to set admin password and email on first boot. See End to default passwords.
What it does:
1. Update apt-get package information
apt-get update
2. Install curl
apt-get install -y --force-yes curl
3.Set Hostname to icescrum
HOSTNAME=icescrum echo "$HOSTNAME" > /etc/hostname sed -i "s|127.0.1.1 \(.*\)|127.0.1.1 $HOSTNAME|" /etc/hosts
2. Remove tomcat6 default app
rm -Rf /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/ rm -f /usr/lib/inithooks/firstboot.d/40tomcat rm -f /usr/lib/inithooks/bin/tomcat.py
3. Download icescrum war
mkdir -p /opt/icescrum && cd /opt/icescrum wget http://www.icescrum.org/downloads/icescrum_R3_7_war_tomcat6.zip unzip icescrum_R3_7_war_tomcat6.zip rm icescrum_R3_7_war_tomcat6.zip
4. Create database and database user
service mysql start mysqladmin -u root create icescrum mysql -u root <<-END_PRIVS GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON icescrum.* TO icescrum@localhost IDENTIFIED BY "icescrum"; flush privileges; END_PRIVS
chown tomcat6:tomcat6 /usr/share/tomcat6
rm -Rf /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/
ln -s /opt/icescrum/icescrum.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT.war
8. Reload application (to make sure the database is created)
service tomcat6 start curl -m 200 'http://localhost/' service tomcat6 stop
service mysql stop
Enjoy!
Ups...
A VIM's swap file got into the patch as I hadn't closed the editor. It's going to work anyway, it's just an unnecesary file.
Raising the bar
"- Inithook script to set admin password and email on first boot. See End to default passwords."
Nice job. I enjoyed learning from this patch. I've been wondering what would result from Alon's post, and here it is. This raises the bar considerably for patchers.
Awesome.
