Does it have Authentication yet? Last time I checked there were no users or administrations or any permissions

Hi, I'm maintainer of Wekan. Wekan is available on many platforms: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Platforms a) In Wekan standalone version it's possible to disable self-registration in Admin Panel. There is inviting users, user permissions Admin/Normal/Comment only, but not user management yet: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Features#authentication-... and in next version it's possible for user to change pa…

Is there a reason things like LDAP and SAML are Sandstorm only?

not the op, but I would guess because those are features of sandstorm, and they are just piggybacking on the authentication

Why do you want to selfhost Trello? Are you afraid that somebody at Trello might steal your secret cards, todos, specs, etc. and sells them? I know self hosting is actually better but it is also work and is the typical information which people put on Trello confidential enough to justify self hosting? IDK and again Trello is free.

Well...yeah. Trello is free, and the expectation is that if you're not paying, you're the product.

Trello has a free tier. They don't do data collection as far as I know.

The free tier is a cheap loss leader for the actual product which are the enterprise and team versions which are not free.

I suspect that the primary developers may be unfamiliar with AD/LDAP.

Hi, I'm maintainer of Wekan. Trello related CSS was dropped in Wekan v0.9 2015-09-10, so after that Wekan does not use anything from Trello. UI and feature set is different. https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/FAQ#why-does-wekan-look-... https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/devel/CHANGELOG.md#v09-2... According to Open Hub, Wekan currently has about 9000 lines of code without counting Meteor.js framework and related p…

What made you decide on meteor?

Hi, I'm current maintainer of Wekan.

I don't remember did Wekan original creator Maxime Quandalle mention why did he choose Meteor.js in his talk at YouTube:

While I like the idea of having open source alternatives to the popular applications, this one is a pure and simple copy of Trello. This is a bit too much IMO.

Reinventing proprietary wheels is a proud Free Software tradition. Look at the GNU project for the largest example.

Is there a reason things like LDAP and SAML are Sandstorm only?

Hi, I'm current maintainer of Wekan.

There are issues for having LDAP/Saml/GitHub/Google etc auth for Standalone Wekan, but they are not implemented yet.

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Integrations#authenticat...

Sandstorm platform brings LDAP, SAML etc authentication to all apps running on Sandstorm.

Sandstorm has long list of sandboxing and other high-end security features:

https://docs.sandstorm.io/en/latest/using/security-practices...

All of Sandstorm is now Open Source, including Blackrock clustering:

what's the storage backed for this app ? Also shout out to https://greggigon.github.io/my-personal-kanban/ that is a simple and offline board

Hi, I'm current maintainer of Wekan.

Wekan can be used locally on local network that is not connected to Internet. There is no offline sync yet.

Wekan is made with Meteor.js Javascript framework, using Node.js and MongoDB as backend currently.

There is possibility to use read-only mirroring to PostgreSQL using ToroDB:

https://github.com/wekan/wekan-postgresql

but currently there's this bug, please wait for it to be fixed:

https://github.com/torodb/stampede/issues/202

There is issue about directly using other backends than MongoDB, but that would require some code changes, so it's not implemented yet:

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/787

Wekan can be installed on x64 operating systems where source/Docker/Ubuntu snap/VirtualBox installs work.

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Platforms

There is no Raspberry Pi version yet:

Also recently bought by Atlassian. Not sure about the other stuff, I love Trello, but that purchase gave me pause.

Yes that's another thing in the negative column. Confluence and JIRA are even worse in their own magnificent ways.

I used to hate JIRA until I worked with a company whose admins had taken the time to configure it properly to fit into their workflow - that was actually a very pleasant experience.
