Quickstart¶

Start an instance with 1-Click, or optionally using your cloud provider’s web/console
Have just a little patience: it does take a couple of minutes for all the background services to start up in your instance. If you get connection refused or site error messages - just wait a moment
Access the product via web browser at https://<your IP/public DNS>
Login with user-name admin, and the instance id as password.
We recommend you change the admin password for the software. To do this, you need to go to the account settings, and change password to reset the admin user’s password. Do make sure you’ve set your email address for the root user.

Operations¶

Our taigactl tool is available from the command line to fully manage the Taiga server component:

$ taigactl --help

All of our Taiga is served via Apache and mod_wsgi. It is also ported to the latest version of Django.

Events¶

The push/pull of events across your Taiga users/browsers utilises web sockets to the Taiga installation. If your firewall/proxy services to Taiga do not manage this properly, then some Taia features appear broken.

If you are having issues creating projects (with the add button just spinning and browser not returning), then you may do so my logging onto the server and using our cli to create it:

$ taiga auth login [username] [password]
$ taiga projects create --description "My Project" [--private] my-project-name

The project will then be available through the web portal - you will need to revisit the home page to pick up the new project.

Since this tool uses the Taiga API directly, it is not affected by web socket/proxy/network issues. For full details of this tool you can use it’s comprehensive help:

$ taiga --help
