I’m hosting my application on a Linode , but is hosted on a Tomcat

  • 0

I’m hosting my application on a Linode, but is hosted on a Tomcat instance, which uses most of the RAM. I also have Apache installed, so I can front Mercurial, and I believe a bug tracker is a must, however I can’t decide on which is best, given scarce resources. JIRA seems to be out of the question, so I’ve been deciding on either

  • Trac
  • Mantis
  • Redmine

I like Trac because I have already got Apache serving Python, Redmine for the features and Mantis because I feel it’s the most lightweight of the three, however lacking in the feature department, compared with the other two, so, what do you recommend, given the situation?

    (Whats a VPS?)

    That aside, do you really need to maintain your own bug tracking installation? We have moved our system from an inhouse Bugzilla to Assembla (www.assembla.com) and it is great! I have a lot more time to do my actual job these days instead of dealing with multi-tool integration problems. For the record I think Trac is part of Assembla’s integration. We are a small organization so the Assembla fees are pretty light, I think we’re up to maybe $25/mo (including all of our SVN hosting) so that’s about 10 minutes of my time (wink;) and I was easily spending 1/2 day a month on tools issues. You’d have to scope it out to see if their offering makes sense for your organization. (BTW I don’t work for Assembla!)

    My apologies to give you a non-technical answer to your technical question.
