For someone that's not a web developer, I found Kanboard to be the easiest to set up, and it has all the basic features you'd expect. It's a traditional PHP app where you copy the files to your web server and set a few configuration options and you're good. If you want to use it locally, you download it, run php -S localhost:8080, and start using it. https://kanboard.org/ Note: The project is in maintenance mode, it…

It's plug-in system is quite comprehensive. I just finished writing a note taking plug-in and the source code itself was a great reference for developing a plug-in.

Looks nice! An alternative is https://www.openproject.org/

"Start free trial"

The base functionality is free (and this is far more than a basic kanban). If you want more enterprisey features it's paid, although I don't believe it's too difficult to bypass the license check.

Looks nice, I selfhosted https://github.com/wekan/wekan for a while, which is a MIT licensed heavily Trello-inspired alternative, does someone know both Wekan and Plankanban and can tell their differences?

WeKan has MIT license. As maintainer of WeKan, I'm adding major new features to WeKan. WeKan features are listed at https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Deep-Dive-Into-WeKan

Planka changed from MIT license to AGPL-3.0 license https://github.com/plankanban/planka

There is Planka fork 4gaBoards with MIT license at https://github.com/RARgames/4gaBoards , newest change one hour ago.

I tried installing OpenProject on my homelab (for tracking tasks related _to_ my homelab), only to find that it was missing the one feature I really wanted - identifying dependencies and blockers (i.e. "I can't install X until I install Y, but Y needs a feature that requires an update to Z, and updating Z requires I tweak config in A" - where I'm perfectly happy to manually write out X/Y/Z/A as tickets myself, but I want a tool to tell me that "A" is an unblocked task I can pick up). Any suggestions for a tool that can do that?

Looks really good, great work! Anyone knows of something like this but for the terminal? I’m building a job searching app for the terminal and a main upcoming feature is to have application tracking within the app. It would be great to use a kanban system for it Thank you!

For terminal, for example this, made with Rust: https://github.com/yashs662/rust_kanban

Tangent - is there a Docker Wherehouse where I can find dockers to DL an run, that HN would suggest and some use cases of "pull a docker from here to do X - super cool"

Docker hub has been one of the primary registries. Each of the cloud providers typically have their own concept for docker or image repositories, and you can build docker files locally of you have a docker file in source code.

Thank you,

I was more looking for use-case as opposed to a barf of all dockers....

And yeah; how do you tink a 3-year old in 2050 is going to be able to setup his dev env? Do you want him to learn binary.

What's the point of using Docker for PHP apps?

The main appeal of PHP for me has always been it's ability to work as a “serverless” execution environment, long before this marketing concept even existed, so hosting your own PHP on a cloud machine with Docker sounds really backward to me.

> What's the point of using Docker for PHP apps?

Same reason you'd use Docker for anything, why would it matter if it's Python, PHP or Rust?

Is there something specific about the language that makes Python (or other language) more suitable with Docker for you, compared to PHP?

(Personally I only use Docker when I start to deal with multiple hosts/distributed architecture, which doesn't happen a lot tbh)

Programmers these days like to overcomplicate things for some reason. I’m as puzzled as you are.
