If you just want to run it, please download it from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pforge/
and simply start it java -jar projectforge-application-X.X.X.jar
.
git clone git@github.com:micromata/projectforge.git
java -version
.mvn -DskipTests clean install
java -jar projectforge-application/target/projectforge-application-X.X.X.jar

, try to delete the sub directory node_modules
and repeat mvn clean install
.
=== Configuration of ProjectForge
No configuration needed. After starting ProjectForge a first time, a console or desktop based wizard is provided for doing a quick setup (choose directory and configure optionally some parameters).
To configure a different directory you have several options (choose Your favorite):
. Create ProjectForge
as top level directory of your home directory: $HOME/ProjectForge
, or
. Create a directory named ProjectForge
and put the jar file somewhere in it or in the same directory. ProjectForge detects the folder ProjectForge
relative to the executed jar, or
. Create a directory and define it as command line parameter: java -Dhome.dir=yourdirectory -jar projectforge-application-X.X.X.jar
, or
. Create a directory and define it as system environment variable PROJECTFORGE_HOME
.
=== Quickstart with Eclipse and maven
projectforge-application/src/main/java
): +
org.projectforge.start.ProjectForgeApplication.java
Please note the detailed documentations for administrators, developers as well as for users.
Java version >8 is required since ProjectForge 6.0. Please note, that OpenJdk 11 is currently used in production for developing and running ProjectForge.
=== Quickstart with IntelliJ
projectforge-application/src/main/java
): +
org.projectforge.start.ProjectForgeApplication.java
== Quickstart with PostgreSQL (optional)
You may use PostgreSQL instead of the built-in data base.
=== Using PostgresSQL (Docker)
export PGPASSWORD=mypassword
docker run --name projectforge-postgres -p 127.0.0.1:5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$PGPASSWORD -e POSTGRES_USER=projectforge -d postgres:13.9
.Some helpful docker commands
|===
|Stop|docker stop projectforge-postgres
|Start|docker start projectforge-postgres
|Import dump (optional)|docker run -v ~/ProjectForgeBackup/pf.sql:/mnt/pf.sql -e PGPASSWORD=$PGPASSWORD -it --rm --link projectforge-postgres:postgres postgres:13.9 psql -h postgres -U projectforge -q -f /mnt/pf.sql 2>&1 > log.txt
|PSQL|docker run -e PGPASSWORD=$PGPASSWORD -it --rm --link projectforge-postgres:postgres postgres:13.9 psql -h postgres -U projectforge
|Reset passwords (optional)|update t_pf_user_password SET password_hash='SHA{BC871652288E56E306CFA093BEFC3FFCD0ED8872}', password_salt=null; update t_pf_user SET password='SHA{BC871652288E56E306CFA093BEFC3FFCD0ED8872}', password_salt=null, email='m.developer@localhost';
+
password is now test123
.
|Clear calendar subscriptions (optional)|update t_calendar set ext_subscription=false where owner_fk != ###;
+
This is useful for avoiding a lot of external calendar calls of foreign users if your productive data contains a lot of users with calendar subscriptions.
|Uninstall|docker rm projectforge-postgres

== Adding your own plugins ProjectForge support plugins. The existing menu can be modified and own entities and functionalities can be added.
Please note: We're working highly on a new release (will be published soon). Wicket will be replaced by ReactJS and Rest technology. The implementation of plugins will be changed as well.
The menu is customizable (you can add or remove menu entries in the config.xml file). Deploy your plugins by adding your jar(s) to the plugin directory next to the jar file. In eclipse you have to add the plugin project to the run configuration classpath. The jars contains both, the Java classes and the web pages (Wicket-pages). Nothing more is needed. Register your plugins in the administration menu at the web gui. You need to restart the server. One advantage is that your own plugins are independent from new releases of the ProjectForge core system. In one of the next releases an example plugin will show you how easy it is to extend ProjectForge!
