An extendable Trello alternative... reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- saveencore · 2023-10-19 03:46 Hi there all, I'm aware that this sub has received its fair share of "looking for a Trello alternative" posts over the last few years. I'm about to add to the pile, but in particular, I'm looking for a solution that is **customizable via plugins or similar**. Basically that means I want to add a custom field, take that input and do whatever I want with it, without having to leave the context of the application & write a whole other python script to interact with APIs and other unfun stuff. Appreciate any answers I'd be given in this case, thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KazeHD · 2023-10-19 05:46 https://kanboard.org/plugins.html https://kanboard.org/#features I am also looking for something fitting. This is something I have seen before but never really tried out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ThusWankZarathustra · 2023-10-19 05:53 It's not \*precisely\* made to replace Trello, but Obsidian has a great Kanban plugin that behaves very similarly to trello. I combine it with the Tasks plugin to give each card/task more functionality. The Tasks plugin has a querying syntax which you could theoretically pipe into other API/scripting plugins. I can't say for certain "Adding this tag to a Kanban card can produce an API call" but I wouldn't be surprised if it's possible. I haven't looked that hard. If you aren't aware of Obsidian, it's a plaintext/markdown-based notetaking app at its core, but with an extremely deep set of community plugins. The notes/boards can be synced via any local/remote cloud, or with their paid service. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Vee_King · 2023-10-19 05:54 Somewhat related, but I've always found Trello and other KanBan boards to be a bit clunky, and have gone through tons of other tools for project management and nothing ever sticks. Maybe because I only jump in and out once or twice a week, and have way too many other moving parts... But would definitely be interested in ideas on things to try in a self hosted environment that integrate well with mobile since I'm in the field more than half the time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- revereddesecration · 2023-10-19 06:12 Kanban works when your entire workflow is built around it: see agile. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rrrmmmrrrmmm · 2023-10-19 09:34 I'd recommend [Vikunja](https://vikunja.io/) or [Planka](https://planka.app/). I used to recommend Focalboard but [they announced that it now relies on community contributions](https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard#warning- announcements) and this might or might not happen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- frogman544 · 2023-10-19 10:19 Maybe consider giving Planka a look. You can find it here: [Planka](https://github.com/plankanban/planka). It's a work in progress alternative to Trello. I self hosted it using docker. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Meadowcottage · 2023-10-19 10:51 I was going to recommend [Plane](https://plane.so/) but AFAIK they don't have a plugins system sadly. Though they do apparently have an SDK "Coming soon" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Vee_King · 2023-10-19 10:57 Might be the problem... Our workflow changes on an almost daily basis. Perhaps it will be more useful when I get back into the development side of things, but right now it's mostly customer project management (and trying to prioritize who's stuff is more important than others, given limited number of hours in the week). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iCrumbz · 2023-10-19 10:59 What about https://leantime.io/? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Zealousideal-Fan-696 · 2023-10-19 11:02 Hi you can test: Seatable Apitable nocodb Baserow ---------------------------------------------------------------------- revereddesecration · 2023-10-19 11:16 Good processes are hard to write and harder to enforce when humans are the resources. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iCodeNoCode · 2023-10-19 11:30 https://nocodb.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tquinnelly · 2023-10-19 11:40 I’ve been using YouTrack. It’s been great. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- curious_human_42 · 2023-10-19 12:21 I think Wekan has this level of customisability. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ZAFJB · 2023-10-19 13:23 We have used Kanboard for many years. Solid product. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- saveencore · 2023-10-19 13:56 Obsidian has been previously recommended to me for another use case - seems that it's a very jack-of-all-trades tool. Suppose I should actually give it a look then. Sync was the primary barrier for me though, since that service is paid... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KazeHD · 2023-10-19 14:09 there are alternatives. If you use onedrive. chuck it on that. If you want more freedom there is a plugin to sync it with a git repo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- brianly · 2023-10-19 14:10 It did support the file system for the content which is markdown. I paid for the online service just to support them but I started with Dropbox. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- urban-intoxx · 2023-10-19 15:29 I have been using it for a year and it works great. Easy to deploy, easy to backup/restore. It is running on a raspberrypi3 via docker. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jedkea · 2023-10-19 15:49 I remember seeing a plugin that allowed you to sync via a self hosted database. I would give it a google. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh-This-Guy-Pucks · 2023-10-19 15:58 Vikunja is a good one that I use ---------------------------------------------------------------------- isThisRight-- · 2023-10-19 16:14 https://paper.io ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fantastic_Strategy50 · 2023-10-19 16:44 Haven't used in a while but following the r/selfhosted premise: https://taiga.io/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- noccy8000 · 2023-10-19 16:55 There is a kanban app (Focalboard) in the Mattermost suite that is usable standalone, but I haven't used it much so can't say more than suggest you check it out. Mattermost has plugins, APIs for sending and bots to react to things, and I would be surprised if the same wasn't true for Focalboard. Oh, and it's on GitHub. Personally I'm mostly using the Deck Nextcloud app, but it doesn't do much of what you're asking for :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- brand_momentum · 2023-10-19 17:00 Focalboard https://www.focalboard.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- blue_wire · 2023-10-19 17:12 Just host your own markdown directory, the app’s free to use for local files ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ZjY5MjFk · 2023-10-19 19:58 Vikunja is ok. It took like 2 minutes to spin up in docker, so easy to test out if you want. It does have kaban support, among other things. But does NOT have cheeklists :( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RAWDOGRONALD · 2023-10-19 20:10 https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing is a good self-hosted option you can use for syncing obsidian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HearthCore · 2023-10-19 20:15 Has anyone successfully got plane.so working with Nginx Proxy Manager? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- isThisRight-- · 2023-10-19 20:22 I can’t say, I’ve been using the online version. But could give it a try ---------------------------------------------------------------------- saveencore · 2023-10-19 21:27 Looks really promising, especially since I've worked with php before. Thanks for your input! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tribex10 · 2023-10-19 21:47 Directus (https://directus.io/) has a Kanban layout you can use on top of customizable database rows, combined with flows it pretty much does the trick. You can run it locally with SQLite as the backend database. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim-Fra · 2023-10-19 22:21 https://github.com/wekan/wekan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kingb0b · 2023-10-20 06:17 Planka is what I use. It's the best I've found. Just wish the mobile site was a bit better.
