Redmine Client

Netbot includes an advanced Redmine client

Redmine Configuration: `.env` file

redmine.py relies on the following environment settings:

REDMINE_TOKEN: Secure Redmine API token
REDMINE_URL: URL of Redmine service

Redmine Token

TODO: create admin user as part of Redmine deployment. Not yet implemented.

Each Redmine API token is associated with a specific user, so an specific "admin" user is created for bot API access.

Create the `admin` user

NOTE: this should be moved to the scn-redmine install process

If the admin user already exists and has Administrator privlidges, skip this step.

An existing Redmine administrator must log into the Redmine instance to access REDMINE_URL/user to create a new user:

Login to Redmine via REDMINE_URL
Click + New User (top right)
Enter the follow values. Everything else can be left as is.
- Login: admin
- First name: Admin
- Last name: Bot
- Email: [email protected]
- Administrator: (check the box)
- Authentication mode: Internal
- Password: (generate a new secure password)
- Confirmation: (same new password)
Click Create

Get the REDMINE_TOKEN

Once the admin user has been created:

Login as the admin user with the new password
Click on "My Account" (top right, REDMINE_URL/my/account)
In the right-hand column, look for API access key
Click the related Show button
Copy the revealed token to the .env file as REDMINE_TOKEN
