Bug Tracking System

MantisBT is a free popular web-based bug tracking system. It has a rich feature set including source control integration, support for email notification and RSS feeds, internationalization, issue tracking, multi-level access control, built-in search engine, report generation and much more.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

  • Mantis configurations:
    • Installed from upstream source code to /var/www/mantis
    • Includes graphing support, Twitter integration and documentation.

      Security note: Updates to Mantis may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. See Mantis documentation for upgrading.

  • SSL support out of the box.
  • Adminer administration frontend for MySQL (listening on port 12322 - uses SSL).
  • Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).
  • Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.
  • Configure system email addresses: /etc/mantis/config_inc.php
  • Integrate Mantis with twitter: /etc/mantis/config_inc.php

Usage details & Logging in for Administration

Ignore SSL browser warning: browsers don't like self-signed SSL certificates, but this is the only kind that can be generated automatically. If you have a domain configured, then via Confconsole Advanced menu, you can generate free Let's Encypt SSL/TLS certificates.

Web - point your browser at either:

  1. http://12.34.56.789/ - not encrypted so no browser warning
  2. https://12.34.56.789/ - encrypted with self-signed SSL certificate

Note: some appliances auto direct http to https.
