    Redmine - Hardened Self-Hosted Project Management & Issue Tracker

     Info
    Sold by: Lynxroute 
    Deployed on AWS
    Free Trial
    This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support. Redmine is a flexible open-source project management and issue-tracking web application built on Ruby on Rails, running under the Puma application server with a bundled PostgreSQL database. Unlike bare Redmine AMIs that ship with the well-known default admin/admin login, an exposed database, and plain HTTP, this Lynxroute build is ready out of the box: the default admin password is rotated to a unique value at first boot, PostgreSQL is bound to localhost only, an Nginx TLS reverse proxy serves HTTPS on 443 with Certbot pre-installed, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base. GPL-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

    Overview

    This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.

    WHAT IS REDMINE

    Redmine is a mature, flexible open-source project management and issue-tracking web application written in Ruby on Rails (Rails 7.2), served by the Puma application server behind an Nginx reverse proxy and backed by PostgreSQL. A single instance manages multiple projects and subprojects with per-project role-based access control, issue tracking with fully customizable trackers, statuses and workflows, Gantt charts and a calendar, time tracking, per-project wikis, forums and document management, news and file repositories, multiple-database SCM integration (Git, Subversion, Mercurial), email notifications, a REST API, LDAP-ready authentication, and multi-language support. Project data, issues, attachments and history persist in the bundled PostgreSQL database within your own AWS account - a self-hosted alternative to hosted project-tracking SaaS, with no per-seat fees. GPL-2.0 license, no vendor lock-in.

    WHAT THIS AMI ADDS

    Security hardening:

    • Default admin password rotated to a unique random value at first boot (no admin/admin)
    • Per-instance PostgreSQL password and Rails secret generated at first boot
    • PostgreSQL bound to 127.0.0.1 only; the Puma application server listens on a localhost socket
    • Nginx TLS reverse proxy on 443; HTTP on 80 redirects to HTTPS
    • Certbot pre-installed - trusted HTTPS with Let's Encrypt in one command
    • UFW firewall - ports 22, 80, 443 only
    • fail2ban, AppArmor
    • CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release

    OS hardening (CIS Level 1):

    • CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
    • auditd, SSH hardening, Kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced

    Compliance artifacts:

    • SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
    • CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
    • CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md

    Highlights

    • Redmine security baked in: default admin password rotated at first boot, per-instance database password and Rails secret, PostgreSQL bound to localhost only, Nginx TLS on 443 with Certbot pre-installed.
    • CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
    • Full project management suite: issue tracking with custom workflows, Gantt charts, time tracking, per-project wikis and forums, SCM integration, and a REST API. GPL-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    1. Launch instance (t3.medium recommended; t3.small minimum)
    2. Open Security Group - allow TCP 80 and TCP 443 from 0.0.0.0/0, TCP 22 from your IP
    3. SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
    4. Wait 1-3 minutes for first-boot database setup to complete
    5. Read credentials: sudo cat /root/redmine-credentials.txt
    6. Open https://<PUBLIC_IP> in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning
    7. Log in as admin with the rotated password from the credentials file

    The default admin/admin password is rotated to a unique value at first boot and saved, together with the PostgreSQL password, to /root/redmine-credentials.txt. For production use, point a domain at the instance and get a trusted certificate: sudo certbot --nginx -d your.domain.com (Certbot is pre-installed). The REST API is disabled by default; enable it under Administration > Settings > API.
