[DRE-maint] Bug#1101504: redmine: served via unicorn and nginx, errors due to 'GET /assets/...'

[Soren Stoutner]

Jörg,

I spent a bunch of time playing with various test installations and 
rewrote sections of the config files and the documentation.

https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/redmine/-/commit/
c8c07c020ebaef2cc2e067fc6eb0fe8f2cb2e5d7

There is one typo with the word “sudo” I have already fixed for a 
future upload.  Let me know if you think there is anything else that 
needs to be corrected.
