Important note: Please note that the packaged installation works best when running on a dedicated server or virtual machine, as we cannot ensure that the components installed and configured by the OpenProject installer will work on systems that have been already customized. If you must install OpenProject on a server where other software is running, or with an already configured Apache or NginX server, then you should have a look at the Docker-based installation instead.
Every time you will run the OpenProject wizard, by using sudo openproject reconfigure your choices will be persisted in a configuration file at /etc/openproject/installer.dat and subsequent executions of sudo openproject configure will re-use these values, only showing you the wizard steps for options you have not yet been asked for.

Choose this option if you want OpenProject to set up and configure a local database server manually. This is the best choice if you are unfamiliar with administering databases, or do not have a separate PostgreSQL database server installed that you want to connect to.
We recommend that you let OpenProject install and configure the outer web server, in which case we will install an Apache2 web server with a VirtualHost listening to the domain name you specify, optionally providing SSL/TLS termination.
OpenProject heavily relies on caching, which is why the wizard suggests you to install a local memcached server the OpenProject instances can connect to. You should always set this to install unless you have a reason to configure another caching mechanism - for example when configuring multiple shared instances of OpenProject.
