using (not developing) allura?

[Chris Curvey <cc...@zuckergoldberg.com>]

Hi all,

I'm evaluating options to replace Trac+SVN with Something+Git, and Allura looks really neat.    I've gotten the thing running using the instructions at https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/wiki/Install%20and%20Run%20Allura%20-%20Vagrant/

So if I did not want to install Allura within a VirtualBox, I'm guessing I would go to https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/git/ci/master/tree/INSTALL.markdown and follow the instructions from approximately line 39, where it says "Installation \n Before we begin..."  Is that correct?

And then ... is there any doco directed at someone who wants to *use* Allura, as opposed to someone who wants to develop new features for it?



Every time you report an issue without creating a ticket, God kills a kitten.  Please think of the kittens.

Yep, you got it.  Those step you the process for Ubuntu, but other linux systems
should work too with small changes for package names, etc.

We have a little bit at http://allura.sourceforge.net/docs/administration.html

You'll probably want to look at http://allura.sourceforge.net/docs/scm_host.html
too for integrating git & allura's authentication.  The instructions are a
little complex right now, unfortunately.
https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/6701/ has a patch for a simpler way to
do it through Apache.

Feel free to ask any questions here as you go along, and we'd be happy to help
