DevOps Workflow Suite
Connect Redmine to GitHub, GitLab, and CI/CD pipelines — link commits, MRs, deployments, and release notes to issues.
Redmine compatibility
DevOps Workflow Suite
Status: Planned — Phase 2 (P1). Closes the gap between issue tracking in Redmine and the systems where code actually ships. Built for engineering teams who chose Redmine for flexibility but still need DevOps traceability without bolting on Jira.
The problem
Developers live in GitLab or GitHub. Releases happen in Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI. Redmine issues drift from reality: wrong status, missing links to merge requests, no visibility into what deployed where. Managers cannot answer “what shipped last week?” without manual spreadsheets.
Who it is for
- Platform / DevOps engineers wiring webhooks and maintaining deployment hygiene
- Engineering managers tracking release cadence and change risk
- Teams on GitLab or GitHub who want bidirectional links, not copy-paste issue keys
Capabilities
Phase 1 — v1.0
- GitHub and GitLab webhooks: push, merge request, pipeline success/failure
- Auto-link commits and MRs to issues via
#12345references and branch naming rules - Issue panel: linked commits, MRs, pipeline runs with deep links back to VCS
- Deployment tracker: environment (staging/production), version/tag, deployed-at timestamp
- Configurable status transitions on pipeline events (e.g. move to “In QA” on staging deploy)
- Webhook signature verification and replay protection
Phase 2 — v1.x
- Jenkins and generic CI webhook adapter
- Release notes generator from closed issues between tags
- Lightweight change calendar: planned vs actual deployments per environment
- Incident issue template with linked deployment context
Phase 3 — future
- DORA-style metrics export (deployment frequency, lead time) when data is available
- Approval gates before production deploy (workflow hook, not full change management suite)
Compatibility
Redmine 5.1.x and 6.x. Requires outbound HTTPS from Redmine to your Git host. No RedmineShop-hosted middleware.
Planned pricing
- Annual license: from $399/year
- Bundle: discounted in Enterprise Suite with SSO & Reporting
