    This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup 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. This Lynxroute build is hardened and 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 open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup 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: the default admin password is rotated to a unique value at first boot, with a per-instance database password and Rails secret, PostgreSQL bound to localhost only, an Nginx TLS reverse proxy on 443 with Certbot pre-installed, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.

    Dimensions summary

    You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you choose. All five options run the same hardened Redmine image; they differ only in compute capacity. The t3.small, t3.medium, and t3.large are burstable instances suited to lighter or variable workloads, while the m6i.large and m6i.xlarge deliver steady, general-purpose performance for heavier use. Pricing scales with instance size, so you pick the option that matches your expected load. Billing is usage-based, charged per hour, with no upfront commitment.

    Top-of-mind questions for buyers

    Every instance runs a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base with the Redmine project management and issue tracker installed. It ships with a firewall, intrusion prevention, kernel hardening, and a CVE scan report. Unique credentials generate at first boot, so no shared passwords or defaults exist.
    The software is metered per instance-hour while running. A stopped instance does not accrue hourly software charges. Underlying AWS storage fees may still apply to the disk of a stopped instance, but the Redmine software licence meters only running time.
    Both bill per instance-hour. The t3.small, t3.medium, and t3.large are burstable, building credits during low activity and spending them during spikes, which suits variable loads. The m6i.large and m6i.xlarge give steady general-purpose compute for continuous heavy use. You pick one size; that size sets your hourly rate.

    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    Version release notes

    Redmine 7.0.1

    • Redmine updated to 7.0.1 (from 7.0.0) - maintenance release on the Rails 8.1 line, now Rails 8.1.3.1. GPL-2.0 unchanged and no database migration is required
    • Security: fixes a stored XSS in the Textile formatter, a visibility bypass on the nested issue-relations endpoints, an authorization bypass on child-project member inheritance, API requests that could affect the user session, and a lost-password page that revealed whether an email address was registered
    • Fixes the lost-password page being unreachable when two-factor authentication is required, user deletion with an OAuth2 authorization present, Git 2.55 compatibility, note anchors shifting when a journal note is deleted, and slow text formatting on issues carrying many attachments
    • Adds relative default values for date custom fields, the project in the REST wiki-page list response, and grants issue-category read access through view_issues instead of manage_categories
    • Rebuilt on the current CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base to pick up the latest Ubuntu security updates

    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.
