Selfhosted Jira alternative (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by Sarek@discuss.tchncs.de to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

In my day job, we use Jira to manage our software development projects. For various things at home, I would also like to use a ticket system, And while I wholeheartedly hate Jira, compared to the open source alternatives I found, it is still the best system.

Is anyone aware of a good alternative that provides a good backlog view, a Kanban board, and the possibility to group tickets together in epics and sagas?

When JIRA practically stopped supporting self-hosted installations we migrated to YouTrack and it worked quite well. Not as powerful, but the simplicity also comes as an advantage.

Also running youtrack here and I'm quite happy about it. It lacks some features though that seem quite basic to me. E.g. you can't sort knowledge base articles alphabetically and in the Gantt chart you can't show the due date of an issue

Also the android app crashes all the time

The knowledge base really could use a lot of improvement. The basic ticketing and agile board system works quite well though.
