Ive had great success with Kanboard, but at BeamMP we use plane[0], self-hosted. Apart from the lack of github integration, it does the job for our small team. [0]: https://plane.so/

This is the closest looking open source one I’ve seen to linear which is by far the best kanban I’ve used maybe one inspired the other, either way looks good though linear is so polished. Introduced it to a client and it gets heavy use and the cycles concept is well liked

Also available as a Docker image, for example: docker run -p 80:80 -t kanboard/kanboard:v1.2.8 https://docs.kanboard.org/v1/admin/docker/#running-the-conta... (that page has info about persistent storage, configuration and so on) Honestly one of the fastest and least "bloated" pieces of software in recent memory, way more responsive than something like OpenProject (which I use as a self-hosted Jira replacement for my…

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.

With docker you can self host on your dev machine and for a solo developer it's the end of all problems.

I've been using Asana for years but there have been a lot of quality issues with the software... and various bugs that just don't get fixed. They also put columns and some sorting options behind a paywall.

Are there any similar OSS tools? I just need task tracking that works offline, on mobile, let's me filter/sort, and creating public shareable links for customers would be a nice bonus. It's probably something I could whip up in an hour with Django but open to options.

> 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)

Python has notoriously awful dependency management. One of the biggest appeals of Docker is that it lets you build the equivalent of a "fat jar" so that you get at least somewhat reproducible versions of your dependencies at runtime. For a language with decent dependency management the value proposition is much weaker.

What is this monstrosity. This is the first time I see software that runs in docker-compose but has to be installed with a setup.sh run as root. What the hell is wrong with those people? Whatever setup steps are required, put them in the container!

I did some work about a year ago modifying Trellinator to support WeKan, and would like to do the same here. When I did that I made a comprehensive list of things that were missing from the WeKan API to provide a fully functional drop-in replacement for existing Trellinator code.

I can't see any API documentation, is it somehow Trello-like?

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…

Does it offer Agile-like integration?

Thank you, I was more looking for use-case as opposed to a barf of all dockers.... "I want to do TASK so here are all the dependencises for you to do TASK and how they will link" --- 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.

> And yeah; how do you tink a 3-year old in 2050 is going to be able to setup his dev env? Dunno about 2050, but it wasn’t particularly difficult in the 1980s.

I guarantee it will be harder in 2050 than it was in 1980.

100% agree. When we installed it we looked at the setup.sh and extracted what was needed from it. It was as simple as:

  curl -o docker-compose.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makeplane/plane/master/deploy/selfhost/docker-compose.yml
  curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makeplane/plane/master/deploy/selfhost/variables.env
  vim .env # adjust for your environment
  docker compose up -d
I really don't understand how the above is too complex that it required the creation of a bash script.

Some other notable docker-based projects that I've seen require an .sh are Sentry [1] and Postal [2].

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.

I'm also interested in the link!
