The Bug Tracking System is a software tool for tracking and managing bugs and issues in software development projects. It helps teams to prioritize and resolve issues efficiently while providing real-time status updates and reporting.
If you're in the market for a free, web-based bug tracking system, MantisBT is definitely worth checking out. This open source solution provides a wealth of features, including source control integration, multi-level access control, issue tracking, and a built-in search engine, among other things. You'll also benefit from email notifications, RSS feeds, and internationalization options.
If you're looking for a turnkey solution, consider the TurnKey Mantis Live CD appliance. This option includes all of the standard features found in TurnKey Core, along with things like graphing support, Twitter integration, and documentation. In addition, you'll appreciate the SSL support right out of the box, as well as the PHPMyAdmin administration frontend for MySQL (which listens on port 12322 and uses SSL).
You'll also benefit from the Postfix MTA, which is bound to localhost and allows for sending email (like password recovery emails). All secrets will be regenerated during installation/firstboot to ensure maximum security. Finally, there are Webmin modules available for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL, and Postfix.
As far as configuration goes, you can easily set up system email addresses in /etc/mantis/config_inc.php, and integrate Mantis with Twitter in /etc/mantis/config_local.php. Default credentials make it easy to get started, with usernames of root (with no password, which should be set during installation) for Webmin, Webshell, SSH, and MySQL, and username admin and password turnkey for Mantis.
