Self-hosted trello alternative?

johntash@eviltoast.org to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 16 points –

I've been looking for something to replace Trello, mostly for personal use between me and my partner. We both have our own boards as well as a couple shared ones we use for planning trips/etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a kanban/trello-like software?

I've been using Obsidian w/ the obsidian-kanban plugin lately and it is alright, but obviously not as easy to share between two people and more limited compared to some of the features trello has.

Two options I'm trying out now:

  • Planka - seems like it might be alright, but haven't used it enough yet. Trello import option is one-board-at-a-time.
  • Vikunja - extremely slow for some reason and the auto-save feature kept causing me to lose what I typed

Thanks! I added this one to my list to try too. I'm pretty sure I saw a screenshot of it before and thought it looked too simple/basic. That's not a bad thing though, and the docs do sound promising

I have used Kanboard for a few years or so now. You can install themes and other plugins. But besides that, Kanboard are truly advanced piece of tool. It is packed with useful features (and not useful, such as the time tracker (at least for me)).

Tips: when you have added some tasks and want a more compact view, press S on the keyboard. Press the key again to toggle back.

Do you have any concerns with it being in "maintenance mode"? It looks like it still gets regular releases, but are there any major features you'd like to see added?

Also, that's a lot more plugins than I was expecting!

They are not ading new features but it's complete and well maintained. I have been using it for years and it's the best thing I could find. There are similar tools but the others are not powerfull enough for project managing.
