I used this for a project once and its great. Super powerful and has a great API for automation https://kanboard.org/
Ugly af, but it's really good, I use it for organizing my ideas and tasks, and it's perfect for what I need.
There are some relatively nice custom themes.
Honestly, I like it better ugly, but yeah, that's a good tip, maybe I could try some
If you have NextCloud, you can try Deck. I moved off from NextCloud and Deck was, oddly enough, one of the harder apps to replace. I ended up with Vikunja. They have an android app in alpha but it feels pretty polished
It's incredibly annoying, though, that you can only copy boards in the app, and when you do it makes triplicate of all the cards.
I am using that since it's very easy to use and I've got nextcloud already. I wish it would work like jtxboard
I use planka, which feels exactly like what trello used to feel: fast & simple. It does not have an app though.
Personally, literally some postit notes for my own selfhosted projects
I liked using KanBoard. Its simple and runs well inside a docker container.
Nextcloud deck, with the mobile app
Cryptpad has a very capable Kanban in it. No mobile apps yet, but I understand that is on the road map.
Can I hijack this thread to ask if any of these recommendations have iOS apps? Vikunja looks the most enticing to me but seems they don’t have an iOS app sadly.
The best kanban is the one you already have. It's like "the best camera is the one you have with you" -- Annie Lennox, I think.
For me, that's gitlab on-prem.
for me that's jtx :D thanks to another commentor
Kanboard is pretty great even if it does feel dated. I tried a lot of the newer alternatives and they all had either weird bugs or quirks I didn't appreciate.
Leantime for sure! Because it is very feature complete for project management
Do you mean leantime.io?
We've been internally using the stock Forgejo (Gitea) one for about a year now, previous Nexcloud Deck, but it was a bit too buggy, and we didn't really need NC in the first place anyways.
NC deck could be cool but I found it really disappointing.
Jira.
It’s the one I use along with Trello. Not gonna be a fan favorite for Selfhosted though
It may be the worst one, but it's the one everyone at my company uses. Having multiples is worse than having a bad one.
🤮 Asslassian
Not sure how different the cloud one vs self hosted one is. TBH I'd skip self hosting a Kanban board.
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.
