My team wanted to start using Trello to better organize the work we have to do and, since I believe it's much easier to start using foss software from the beginning rather then switching to it after years of using something else, I wanted to suggest now a different option, possibly selfhosted.

I've seen online that there is Focalboard that seems to be what we are looking for but I've seen it recently switched from being backed by mattermost team to be community-driven and I didn't found enough documentation on how to install it with docker on an arm server... Does anyone use it? Is it a good option or there are better ones? And if you're using it, could you help me spinning it up?

We recently moved away from Trello and settled on GitLab. Might sound a weird decision at first glance, but you can just create an empty repo, create issues instead of cards and visualize them in den "Boards" view.

Key drivers for doing so were that we rely heavily on GitLab already, and that we wanted a trustworthy solution in terms of data privacy. But I guess you'd have a bit of a hard time selling this to an audience that has no experience with GitLab, so decide for yourself if its viable in your case
