i love how simple it is. i use it on the cheapest vps and its fast and enough flexible. the only thing im missing is the limited reporting ability to export my timesheets. all tasks have to have subtasks to be able to track time. i use it for freelancing projects.
Fun fact: The way kanban is used in project management is different than the original kanban used in manufacturing plants. In "IRL" kanban cards are handed _backwards_ to the previous station to signal demand, so things don't get worked on, unless they are needed downstream.

Lean kanban was never meant for project management, it is a process management and demand leveling technique. Agile card boards like this bear little resemblance to Kanban, but the name caught on with the original Kanban software book. It is still a decent book though, and does in fact cover many of the principles of lean kanban. That said, I've rarely met a team using a kanban board that is familiar with the book or…
I like the idea. It looks like something that could work for me. Minor rant. I dislike the install section. It just assumes I already know everything about how to do it. I ran into similar issues when I was trying to setup Kimai. Install instructions basically forced me to spend time hunting down howtos, resolving issues that came up during my attempt ( arrgh ), and later just throw my hands in the air as Kimai insta…
When it comes to installing stuff like this, Docker is your friend.
It tends to do similar things for backups. You know what you need to back up because it's explicitly mapped to a directory or disk outside the Docker image. If you failed to map something you want to back up you'll notice immediately because whatever-it-is doesn't come back after destroying and re-creating the container. No hunting through /var or /opt or whatever. Once it's working just back up whatever's in those mapped resources.
We use this software extensively at my place of employment and have done so for a few years. In fact, apart from ad-hoc spreadsheets with pretty coloured rows to make pseudo Gantt charts and the software developers using Gitlab issues, this is the only project/task management tool we use. In short, it's quite good. It hasn't all been smooth sailing, but generally it's a solid piece of software which doesn't crash ver…

Sooo... the design is not good, performance is very very poor, plugins are clunky, reporting is also poor, there's no mobile client ..... but you're happy with it. Hmmh, alright.
If you don't have more than 50 cards visible, no problem. If you don't need a good Gantt chart, no problem. If you don't need fancy report exporting, no problem. If you don't need a mobile client, no problem. If you can write a little CSS to make it look prettier, no problem.
If you want a nice, solid standalone kanban tool with a bunch of other nice features, this could be your best solution. I've tried many of these - Wekan, Restya etc and so far, as a standalone board, Kanboard fits my requirements best.

I love how much stupid single-project-or-service-specific deployment crap Docker has saved me from having to (re-)learn. The way it tends to encourage easier and better-documented configuration than the software packaged in it usually has is a huge bonus, too. My Samba config is a couple command line args per share, now. So much better than "OK, where does this distro store its Samba configs? Is it overridden by file…

which VPS do you use for this?
