ABOUT THE SOFTWARE

What is Redmine

Redmine is a flexible, open-source project management and issue tracking application written in Ruby on Rails. First released in 2006, it covers multi-project tracking, role-based permissions, Gantt charts, time logging, per-project wikis, and a REST API, with multilanguage support across 49 locales.

The project was founded by Jean-Philippe Lang and is released under the GNU General Public License version 2. Active development continues under release manager Marius BĂLTEANU, with core contributions from teams at Far End Technologies and Planio.

The platform runs on Ruby, Rails, and PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Microsoft SQL Server. The 6.1 line added native OAuth2 provider support, reactions on issues and notes, a new progress-bar custom field, the Trilogy database adapter, and Stimulus on the front end.

Notable production deployments include the Ruby language project's bug tracker at bugs.ruby-lang.org, the openSUSE infrastructure tracker at progress.opensuse.org, and university research environments at CUNY, the Minnesota Population Center, and Vanderbilt.

FEATURES

What Redmine does

Redmine pairs an issue tracker with the surrounding project-management tools a real engineering or services workflow needs: Gantt scheduling, time logging, per-project wikis, role-based access, custom fields per tracker, multiple database backends, and a REST API. The OAuth2 provider in 6.1 lets it act as the identity hub for adjacent tools.

Multi-project issue tracking

Unlimited projects with subproject hierarchies. Each project carries its own member roster, tracker set, workflow, permissions, and reports. Issues can be related, duplicated, blocked, or grouped.

Time tracking

Log time against issues or projects with activity types, custom fields, and approval workflows. Reports group by user, role, project, tracker, or custom field. Feeds straight into invoicing plugins.

Role-based access control

Flexible role definitions per project. Workflow transitions controlled per role per tracker. Member-level project visibility. Complete change history on every issue. Multiple LDAP directory support.

Repository integration

Browse Subversion, Git, Mercurial, CVS, and Bazaar repositories. Reference issues from commits with refs #N and closes #N. Per-project repository, per-changeset diff view.

Gantt and calendar

Native Gantt chart with start dates, due dates, and parent-child relationships. PNG export via ImageMagick. Drag-and-drop critical-path planning available through Easy Gantt or Redmineflux Gantt plugins.

Custom fields and trackers

Define your own trackers (Bug, RFI, ECO, Change Request) with custom fields per tracker, per role, per workflow status. Field types include progress bar, key/value list, and version.

Wikis, documents, forums, news

Per-project wiki with full revision history. File attachments with versioning. Per-project forums for asynchronous discussion. News module for announcements. Document repository with categories.

REST API and OAuth2 provider

Read and write every Redmine entity through the REST API. Redmine 6.1 added native OAuth2 provider support, so external tools can authenticate against the Redmine user directory.

WHAT'S ALWAYS INCLUDED

Every app. Fully managed.
Nothing extra to pay for.

Every app you deploy includes the full managed service — security, backups, updates, and support from day one.

Automatic updates and patches

Apps run the latest stable version. Security patches applied silently, with rollback if needed.

Daily off-site backups

Multiple daily backups in redundant off-site locations. One-click restore if anything goes wrong.

24/7 uptime monitoring

Continuous monitoring with instant alerting. We respond before you notice.

SSL, firewall, DDoS protection

Auto-renewing SSL, hardened firewall rules, DDoS mitigation on every deployment.

Performance and scaling

We monitor resource usage continuously. When your app needs more headroom, we flag it and upgrade with your explicit approval.

Dedicated engineering support

Real engineers on chat. DNS, SMTP & migration help. All included in €9.

WHY MANAGED

Why teams pick managed Redmine

Atlassian's February 2026 Data Center price increase of 15% on list and up to 40% on legacy Advantage tiers, followed by the March 30, 2026 end of sale for new Data Center licenses, has pushed regulated and on-premise buyers to evaluate Redmine again. The operational lift is the part most teams underestimate.

A working Redmine instance is more than bundle install. The official install guide states it plainly: the default AsyncAdapter queue is not recommended for production. Notification emails and reminder jobs run in-process and disappear when the Rails worker restarts. We run Sidekiq against managed Redis on every instance, so emails go out and stay out.

The 2022 switch to Zeitwerk autoloading in Redmine 5.0 broke a long tail of community plugins, and the breakage still bites teams upgrading from 4.2. Plugin authors who haven't touched an init.rb in three years aren't coming back. We test plugin compatibility against the release line we run.

USE CASES

Three teams who run Redmine on DANIAN

These are representative team types we set up most often. Each starts with the same flat €9 plan.

GOVERNMENT / DEFENCE CONTRACTOR

Migrating off Jira Data Center after the February 2026 price hike

A 24-person systems-integration group inside a public-sector prime contractor delivering eight concurrent contracts. Their March 2024 Jira Data Center renewal got hit by Atlassian's February 2026 list increase. Cloud is not viable — their contracts require regional data residency and an on-premise change record. They run Redmine 6.1 in the Germany region with SAML against Entra ID, RedmineUP Agile for sprint boards, and S3-backed attachments.

ENGINEERING & CIVIL CONSULTANCY

Gantt-led delivery for 12 concurrent infrastructure projects

A 45-engineer practice delivering bridge, rail, and water-utility projects across three regional offices. The workflow centres on RFIs, submittals, and approvals. Native Gantt charts map onto delivery schedules; Easy Gantt adds drag-and-drop critical path. Every issue carries an ISO 19650 information container reference, so the Redmine project doubles as the CDE register. Time logged feeds the RedmineUP Invoices plugin for monthly billing.

UNIVERSITY RESEARCH LAB

Tracking grant-funded studies across NIH and Horizon programmes

A 17-person research lab inside a public university running thirty concurrent studies on rolling 2-to-5-year horizons. Per-project wikis hold protocols, ethics documents, and dataset descriptions. Custom fields per tracker cover IRB number, grant code, principal investigator, and milestone. LDAP authenticates against the university directory. Region selected per the data-residency policy of the funding body.

COMPARISON

Four ways to run Redmine

There are four honest paths to running a project tracker for a small team: stay on a proprietary SaaS, self-host on a VPS, run a home server, or hand the operational work to a managed host. The math at 1, 5, and 10 seats makes the trade-offs visible.

At one seat Jira Cloud's Free tier covers most teams. The cliff arrives at the eleventh user, when the team falls off Free onto Standard at $7.91 per user per month — about $949 per year before the annual discount. A VPS handles a hundred users for the same monthly outlay, but the hidden cost is operator time: roughly five hours to bring up a production-grade Rails app, plus one to two hours every month for patching, backup verification, and on-call. A home server adds business-grade internet, off-site backup, and the redundancy mindset to maintain it. Managed Redmine on DANIAN is flat €9 per month, regardless of how many issues, projects, or members you add.

BY INDUSTRY

Redmine for specific industries

Project trackers earn their keep by adapting to the workflow already running in the industry. Redmine's custom-tracker model, native Gantt, role-based permissions, and per-project wikis let it operate as the system of record across software, engineering, public sector, education, and manufacturing — without forcing a one-size-fits-all process on any of them.

Software and IT operations teams typically work to ITIL 4 service-management practices: incident, change, and problem records all need a tracker. Workflow centres on bug and feature trackers with severity custom fields, sprint boards via RedmineUP Agile or Backlogs, SCM-integrated commit references through refs #1234 and closes #1234, and time logged against issues for engineering capacity reporting.

Typical metrics for a mid-sized software team: four to six trackers (Bug, Feature, Support, Tech Debt, Spike, Release), three to eight active projects, and 500 to 2,000 issues per year. DANIAN tunes the database indexes for filtered issue queries on custom fields and runs Sidekiq for the integration webhooks teams hang off the REST API.
Engineering and construction projects work to ISO 19650-1 and ISO 19650-2, the international standard for information management using building information modelling, which mandates a Common Data Environment as the single source of project information. Workflow: native Gantt as the project programme; custom trackers for RFI, Submittal, Change Order, and Non-Conformance Report; per-project wiki holding the BIM Execution Plan; revision-controlled drawing attachments; time tracking against the WBS for contract billing.

Typical metrics: 5 to 15 concurrent projects, 200 to 500 issues per project, 10 to 50 GB of drawing attachments per project.
Public-sector IT in the US operates under NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5 control families; similar national frameworks apply across other jurisdictions. Workflow: multiple LDAP authentication against existing Active Directory or Entra ID tenants; role-based access control with per-role workflow transitions; complete change history on every issue; per-project wiki for procedure documentation.

Typical metrics for a department-scale deployment: 5,000 to 50,000 issues across 20 to 100 projects, 500 to 2,000 named users. DANIAN runs the instance in the region the customer selects — North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Africa, or Oceania — so application data sits inside the jurisdiction the contract requires.
Universities and research labs work under FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g) for US institutions. Workflow: per-project wikis as research notebooks; custom fields per tracker for grant code, IRB number, principal investigator, and deliverable milestone; time tracking for grant cost-share reporting; multi-language UI for rotating international PhD students.

Typical metrics for a research lab: 200 to 1,000 named users across faculty and graduate students, 30 to 80 active research projects, 5 to 15 GB of attached datasets. DANIAN configures LDAP or SAML against the institutional identity directory and pins the region to whatever the funding body's residency clause requires.
Manufacturing plants work to ISO 9001:2015 quality management; for automotive supply chains, the stricter IATF 16949:2016. Workflow: tracker types for Defect, Engineering Change Order, Corrective Action, and Customer Complaint; custom fields for part number, lot, and supplier; per-project wiki for work instructions and FMEA documentation; Gantt for new-product-introduction timelines; time tracking for cost-of-quality reporting.

Typical metrics for a mid-sized plant: 50 to 200 Engineering Change Orders per year, ECO workflows with five to eight status transitions, 5 to 20 GB of attached drawings and inspection reports. DANIAN configures the workflow guards so an ECO cannot close without a Corrective Action reference.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams ask before signing up — answered straight, without sales speak.

Three groups: technical setup, migration, and how DANIAN works as a service.

01

Technical and configuration

Redmine's default AsyncAdapter queue runs jobs in the same Rails process and loses pending jobs on restart. The install guide itself flags it as unsuitable for production. We run Sidekiq against managed Redis on every instance, so notification, watcher, and reminder jobs persist across restarts.
It can, once the database indexes are right. The Redmine issue tracker has a documented patch (#29171) for indexing custom-field queries that slow past tens of thousands of issues. We pre-apply that class of index, partition the issue history table where it helps, and tune MySQL to the instance size.
Yes. TOTP-based two-factor authentication landed in Redmine 4.2 and expanded in 5.0 with group-level enforcement, admin-only enforcement, and automatic disabling of API basic-auth when 2FA is active. We turn on group-level enforcement for any role you ask us to and document the configuration in the instance handover.

02

Migration and onboarding

We can activate your app on your own custom domain/subdomain. Examples: mydomain.com, anyword.mydomain.com.
Or, on our randomized free subdomain. Example: 963.apps.danian.cloud
If you wish to use a custom domain/subdomain, select that option when ordering your app (or notify us later). We will send you the required DNS records and if needed, our tech team will modify them for you.
21 datacenter locations across six continents. You choose the region at provisioning. Application data sits in the region you choose; pick whichever is closest to your users or matches your data-residency preference.
Yes. Request a region migration from the dashboard and we run the move in the background. The system emails you when the migration completes; total transfer time depends on data volume but typical instances finish in a few hours. There is no extra charge for a region change.
Yes. Full data export is available at any time, in a portable format you can bring to any infrastructure.
Yes, through the jira2redmine importer or the Redmine REST API. Atlassian deprecated the bundled importer in Jira 8.4, so a CSV-via-REST or third-party path is the route. Issue history, attachments, comments, custom fields, and users come across.

03

Billing, support, and platform

€9 covers everything we do for that app: hardware in the region you choose, daily off-site backups with one-click restore, automatic security patches and version upgrades, 24/7 monitoring, SSL and firewall, and engineering support on Email/LiveChat. There are no setup fees or hidden line items. For more info see our Pricing page.
If you decide to continue, we charge €9/app/month from day 8. If you don't, the trial ends and you can export your data. No card is required for the trial, and we never auto-charge you without explicit consent.
No. The €9/month is flat regardless of how many users log into your app. Add 5 users or 50; the price doesn't change.
24/7 Live chat and email support, both staffed by engineers who run the systems. We handle DNS configuration, SMTP setup, app integrations, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and migration help. Response time is typically under an hour. There is no tier system — every customer gets the same support.
Yes. Cancel from the dashboard. We don't charge a cancellation fee, we don't lock data, and we will export your data to you on request before deletion. data to you on request before deletion.
Every customer instance is backed up daily to a separate region from the primary. We test restores. You can request a restore at any backup point within the retention window — usually 7 days for daily backups.
Your application data sits in the region you choose at provisioning — 21 datacenter locations across six continents. Account-level data (billing, account email, support ticket history) is processed centrally. Application data region is picked by you, per app.
99.9% uptime SLA on every app, every tenant. Service credits are documented at danian.co/service-level-agreement. The status page is located at status.danian.co.
When your tenant approaches the resource ceiling — the base tier holds 1 vCPU/RAM, 30 GB storage — we notify you. Resource upgrades happen with your explicit consent; we will not upgrade your tenant or charge you without it.
We wait. We don't suspend the app or delete your data on the first failed charge. We email you, you fix the card on file, and we continue.
Invoices can be downloaded from the billing dashboard in PDF the day each charge succeeds. EU VAT is added where applicable and the VAT-reverse-charge regime applies for VAT-registered businesses with a valid number.
150+ open-source apps across automation, team chat, file sync, analytics, AI, password management, email marketing, dev tools, project management, smart home, CMS, and federated social. See the full catalog →
Yes. Every instance comes with a web-based terminal and a file manager in your DANIAN management dashboard. Useful for managing your data and customizations.
Resources scale with your usage. If your app needs more vCPU, RAM, or storage, we add it — and we ask first before any change to your plan. €9 is the floor; resource-heavy workloads may price higher, but you'll always know in advance.
Yes. We have both a Partner program and an Affiliate program available. Anybody can sign up.
No contract. No minimum commitment. Cancel anytime from the dashboard with one click. The 7-day free trial requires no credit card. After the trial converts to paid, you can still cancel at any month without notice or penalty.
