do you want a helm chart for this? the "requirements" page scares me, although I suspect this whole thing could be launched with a docker-compose / helm deploy very easily.

It is super simple to host. Run on any standard hosting

> Installing in this case means copying files to your web server. In PHP land, once you have the web server set up with the basics, this is just such a nice easy way to deploy software. I actually run Kanboard on the same server as my WordPress blog and installed it simply by throwing the files into a directory. The most complex thing you might need to do is add a new database somewhere but I find it so much less ove…

In Php Land I would say It's the red waving flag of this project. I cannot understand how people are still arguing for this kind of stuff or stick with this dinosaur language at all. I am sorry but I have such an aversion against the attitude of "we use xy because of historic reasons but hey actually it is really good because the design pattern that has proven crucial over the last 50 years imo is just overhead and y…

PHP is a nature stable language and running a PHP program is very simple and cheap

I've been looking for a new Kanban system ever since Restyaboard has slowed down. Does anyone know how this compares against Taiga or WeKan?

It's also got a decent codebase that's easy to extend via plugins.

Codebase is high quality

I'd like to know, too. WeKan is absolutely great! But self-hosting it is a bit cumbersome; except when using it as a Sandstorm (sandstorm.io) web app.

Hosting Kanboard is super easy

Okay,so obsidian looks really cool but from what I see on their page it is not open source right? Any open source equivalents?

IMHO a very capable FOSS competitor for Obsidian is LogSeq ( https://logseq.com/ ). I use Logseq since 6 month and love it. There also exists a Kanban Plugin for LogSeq, which I have not yet tried... https://github.com/hkgnp/logseq-kanban-plugin

LogSeq has suffered a lot, imo, since they took venture funding. Their focus has wavered drastically since then, shipping features nobody is asking for that I can only assume are viewed to be differentiating for other PKMs (e.g., canvas) vs making the thing performant, improving the wretched UI, fixing bugs, etc.

Obsidian may not be open source, but it reflects a sane approach to product: small, focused team, profitable company, delivering useful stuff. Clean and tight. It's got a different set of abstractions at its core (document model vs block model) but if you're indifferent to that, Obsidian is where I'd start.

For personal use I can recommend this Obsidian plugin. It turns a markdown file into a Kanban board. https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-kanban

Assuming "kanban" is the Japanese 看板[1] ("kanban", billboard), the Department of Redundancy Department would like a word with you and Kanboard regarding "kanban board". [1]: https://jisho.org/search/%E7%9C%8B%E6%9D%BF

Incorrect assumption. This "kanban" refers to the signalling process you can use to maintain even levels of buffer inventory in processes that are too variable to do prodution levelling.

A board is just one implementation of this signalling process, but by no way implied by it.

I couldn’t find the instructions in the website for how to use it or install it. Can anyone share?

docker run -p 8080:8080 kanboard/kanboard

Should be "docker run -p 8080:80 kanboard/kanboard" But then not sure what username / password to use. The docs definitely could be structured better.

Why does it look like that though. I wish open source projects would spend a bit more time on design.

I wish people would appreciate other peoples effort a little bit more. As far as I can tell it is a one man project that has been around for a while. It takes a lot of effort to do this.

I actually appreciate open source projects so much that I get angry when they lose out due to things like this.

I hadn’t heard of Kanboard, but it’s always a good sign when a FOSS project shared on here already has an associated Nix package! https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=22.11&from=0&size=... I look forward to trying it out. As the project is in maintenance mode (also a good sign - it has completed its objectives and doesn’t look to go crazy with new features etc) I wonder how receptive the project is to stylistic…

Yes indeed, and I just tried installing it and got: error: hash mismatch in fixed-output derivation '/nix/store/7sagfaqcqv5flgvrzs5b30ndfchwvpa4-source.drv': specified: sha256-s//GkCKvppqJ+7x8pNwVEaBsUOCKCGt+wLj9P+3N9hc= got: sha256-LLTbJPxqOQB1v79nzr6GxF+/OE2704UpXmqEfKjQGDo= error: 1 dependencies of derivation '/nix/store/9i74fl13f7s61lgx794jpp4iq179i45v-kanboard-1.2.24.drv' failed to build error: 1 dependencies of…

Fixed it is! Thanks to all in the nixos community
