Re: [Trac] Share the Wisdom: What's better? Hosting trac on Windows or Linux?
Quoting ChiefEngr jwane...@gmail.com: I'm thinking about rolling out somethng like Trac with SVN to handle revision control (and whatever database engine is the best way to go). SVN is OK, esp. when using the Tortoise GUI on Windows. Anyway in the open source community most people use git nowadays, which is much more powerful than SVN. My question? Well, should I host this server on a Windows box or a Linux box? For the end user, there is no difference at all. For the admin, Linux is most likely the better choice than Windows, but YMMV. As a Debian developer, I'm biased, but I would go for a Debian server, or maybe for Ubuntu LTS. Or, is Trac the wrong tool? Is Redmine or something else better? Trac is just fine, but ask on the redmine list as well to get a more balanced view. So here is your chance -- someone is actually **asking** for your opinion! You didn't ask, which database engine to use. I answer anyway: Use PostgreSQL. SQLite gets slow on multiple users. You didn't ask for the web server to use neither, but I suggest to use Apache with mod_wsgi and the apache2-mpm-worker package. Summary: Debian (or Ubuntu) Linux + Apache + WSGI + PostgreSQL + SVN (or git) + Trac, and you're fine.

[Trac] Re: Share the Wisdom: What's better? Hosting trac on Windows or Linux?
Our team is doing all Windows development and we run Trac on Windows 2008 R2 Apache + PostgreSQL (for our latest deployment we used the Bitnami installer with wsgi) + Subversion. We tried Mercurial and Git but found the polish and feature set did not fit us well. We are in a corporate setting and most of the advantages you see touted about DVCS [1] aren't so important in a corporate setting. Our server is always available, our users are in-house - the central model works well for us.

I do think we should prefer mailing lists that don't require login to view. Whenever I try to access a Yahoo group I'm asked to login. I wouldn't have noticed for Google groups since I'm always logged in, but tested just now and it appears that the group is viewable without a login. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Trac Users group.

(To clarify, not a alot of cross-platform development going on here -- Windows based development is for Windows envrironments and Linux-based development is for Linux environments.)

I figure I'll also want Doxygen to plug in to this so we can take advantage of what it brings to the table. I'll probably want some kind of user-based access controls, but I'm not worried about having single login (although it would be very nice, especially from the WIndows side of things). We're not running a domain (AD, LDAP, et al). My question? Well, should I host this server on a Windows box or a Linux box? Is one going to be more seamless for my users? Is one going to be more seamless (and more stable) for me to get going? Which flavor of OS is more likely to work (on the Windows side - Windows Server (03, 08) vs a desktop Windows (XP, 7) [no Vista!]; on the Linux side - CentOS (5, 6), Fedora, Ubuntu)? I had setup SVN+Trac on Centos 5 for about half a dozen sites with full ACL. Yet to hear any issues. Couple of sites had 50+ devs, QA etc. In one site they used SVN for everything -- even docs and spreadsheets. Mix of clients -- fedora, xp, ubuntu, centos et al. In the process of setting up SVN+Trac on Centos 6 box may be this or next week.
