A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm not an organisation, just an individual who likes to use that sort of board to organise himself.

Is anyone using something they'd recommend? Preferably ready to go with Docker of course.

Another thumbs up for Vikunja. Even approved by the wife! Note that integration with Apple reminders is not working currently and there doesn’t seem to be a solution.

This looks cool - I like that you can flip between the different view modes (list, gantt, kanban) rather than having to go all in on one (kanban usually).

The closest free alternative to Trello would be Planka, IMHO. It works really well (rock stable, quick, painless), is pretty and doesn't need much resources. The only thing I miss (which Trello also lacks, btw) is the ability to have subtasks in the way Jira allows them; for this, Plane or Leantime might be good candidates (I haven't used either of them yet, though).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I've been using Planka for a while. Very stable, does one job very well. No complaints so far.

Omg! it looks identical to trello, just started my selfhosted journey and Nextcloud seems to be working fine for me. Planka seems like a nice upgrade for the near future. Do you know if its possible to import from trello or deck?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes, it does offer importing from Trello: In a "project" (i.e. a collection of boards), after clicking the plus-button to add a new board, you can either just give it a name and create an empty board, or your can click "import from Trello". I haven't tried it, though, I'm not a Trello user (because why should I; I have Planka, haha). You can probably try out the import capability with their demo instance.

Have fun with your self-hosting adventures!

Planka looks like a really good option! I don't suppose you know if the timer feature has some sort of report available - being able to export the time spent on each card?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I use Nextcloud Deck now, but before that, I used Wekan.

Wekan was great and has more features, but Deck does all I need and I'm already running Nextcloud anyway.

i see that you can fav boards but can you have a sort of favorites list overview that shows all favs for all boards? because thats what made me go to vikunja, but there are many little things that prevent me from joy using it...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Nextcloud Deck is a really good choice and I use it, but I also know Vikunja is great

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm happily using Nextcloud Deck. If you're already running Nextcloud, it's trivial to set up. But I've never used Trello, so I don't know how they compare; I would bet Trello has more features.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I've decided to go with this. So easy to setup. Perfect for my needs. No idea what features I'm missing but its already helping with my birthday party organisation. Thanks

I like the appearance of https://taiga.io/ but I haven't gotten around to try hosting it myself

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Good luck if you try, I've spun up taiga a awhile ago for a work colleague who wanted to try it. I still haven't figured out how the f SSL Is supposed to work with it. The docs don't explain it and I had no luck with nginx as reverse proxy so far either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Not sure about Docker integration but I use Asana for this sort of thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I have Kanboard up in a Docker container.

Not the most flashy or modern but lightweight and gets the job done. Good if you want something very easy to spin up in Docker.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I use TickTick which is perfect for my needs. Not self-hosted but it is free.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I use Kanboard.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

There are a number of open source web apps that are based around "kan ban" which is similar to Trello in approach. A few are:

There are more out there if you search for "open source kanban" or "open source kan board".

Azure DevOps free tier is probably enough. You can also host your own private repos there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Trello has free tier too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I use Obsidian with the Kanban plugin to organize my personal projects, and sticky notes on my wall for other things.

[–] IcyPractice -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Try Notion. It is great for personal stuff, highly customizable. They have also added a set of project management tools recently.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I imagine they are looking for a solution that you can self-host. Notion is great but you can't host it on your own hardware.
