Advise wanted on Ror software development and project management + my own github server?

Redmine is as bloated as an app can get.

Obviously you haven’t used JIRA, which is a great example of bloat.
Redmine is pretty simple and lightweight.

Then again, it’s no surprise that I disagree with you on this point. I
recently realized that I don’t think i’ve ever agreed with a single post
of yours in this forum.

(Not meant as an attack – just an observation.)

I always wished I had time to
code my own lightweight issue tracker…

No one is stopping you. :slight_smile:

repo, what do you use to host it if not Gitosis? �It’s not extra baggage
– it’s the easiest way to host a git repo from your own server.

Are you perchance confusing Gitosis with Gitorious?

My workflow has simply been:

Establish SSH access to my server.
Copy the repo there, this one now becomes my master.
Clone it from my local machine via: git clone user@server:/path/to/
repo.git
Push/pull at will.
Setup Capistrano to use the master repo.

As what user?

Deploy at will.

I see how Gitosis or whatever is useful, maybe even required for multi-
user setups, but for a 1-man band, like the OP, I don’t think it gives
you anything except additional setup.

OK, apparently we’re not hearing each other. Gitosis setup is simple,
and it gives you a ridiculously easy way of managing users’ keys. Even
for my solo freelance business, I can’t imagine not using Gitosis.
When you have two users – and if you have Cap, you should have two
users – you need Gitosis. Try it!

Gitosis is excellent. I use both Github (for my more public stuff) and
Gitosis on my VPS for my more private projects. Gitosis allows me to
collaborate with as many people as I want, without any artificial
limitations of hosted solutions like Github. The combination of the two
works perfectly for my needs.

As for issue tracking… well I should say user story and project
tracking, my personal favorite is Pivotal Tracker.

I do hope to see someone write a good iPad client for it (too much AJAX
to work well for multi-touch). Maybe I’ll try to tackle that someday, if
I can ever find the time to learn the necessary skills to make it good.
