Custom theme for Redmine

This tutorial explains installing some themes for Redmine.

Chart deploy configuration

  • Add ingress with codeserver addon.
  • Add additional themes PVC persistence with mountPath: "/usr/src/redmine/themes" Since Redmine v6 location is changed to ./redmine/themes instead of /redmine/public/themes.
  • Optional add plugins PVC persistence with mountPath: "/usr/src/redmine/plugins" This is the folder where you need to unzip your plugins if you want to use some.

Example deployment:

Values.yaml
ingress:
  main:
    enabled: true
    hosts:
      - host: redmine.${BASE_DOMAIN}
    integrations:
      traefik:
        enabled: true
      certManager:
        enabled: true
        certificateIssuer: cloudflare


persistence:
  themes:
    enabled: true
    mountPath: "/usr/src/redmine/themes"
  plugins:
    enabled: true
    mountPath: "/usr/src/redmine/plugins"


addons:
  codeserver:
    enabled: true
    ingress:
      enabled: true
      hosts:
        - host: cs-redmine.${BASE_DOMAIN}
      integrations:
        certManager:
          enabled: true
          certificateIssuer: cloudflare
        traefik:
          enabled: true

Check the application

Check if you can open the application in your browser. Login with default credentials and you will be prompted to change the password.

  • User: admin
  • Password: admin

Go to Administration -> Settings -> Display. See that there are three available themes which are Default, Alternate and Classic.

Add themes via codeserver addon to Redmine

  • Browse to your codeserver addon.
  • Add the themes in the redmine\themes folder.
  • Per theme it can be different how to achive this.

For example redmine_theme_farend_bleuclair:

  • Open integrated terminal in redmine\themes
  • git clone https://github.com/farend/redmine_theme_farend_bleuclair.git themes/bleuclair
  • Restart Redmine for example, via add the .Values yaml global: stopAll: false
  • and set it back to true.

For example PurpleMine2:

  • Open integrated terminal in redmine\themes
  • wget https://github.com/mrliptontea/PurpleMine2/archive/master.zip
  • Install extension VSCode Archive in codeserver
  • Decrompress
  • Remove master.zip
  • Move PurpleMine2-master directly in themes folder
