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.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Basically as the title says.

I'd like to know what is there on selfhosted solutions if people are using any, to keep tabs on stuff for managing projects. But - here's the thing, I want a thing to help take notes, not a thing that's gonna "make decisions" / "suggest a business plan".

So, basically I'm looking for something self-hosted that incorporates things like (manual!) man-hours tracking, gantt charts, kanban and other organizative diagrams, general (ie.: not "code-oriented") issue tracker.

Ideally to be deployed as an assiatnce to keep track of stuff on a small shop operating a force of 8~12 devs. Me and one other person want to help shield our devs from clients as the company is starying to grow more, enough that asking the devs for hard data on how they are managing themselves (to know if there's room for another project or if overtime is needed, for example) is starting to deprive them of actual devel time. We want to avoid reaching the stage of meetings that could have been emails.

Thanks in advance. Suggestions are welcome, we do have enough time to test a few alternatives before settling on one we just don't know what exists out there that is not "sign in on Github".

OpenProject seems promising. Have been testing it out for an project. There is basic work packages and then you can view these in kanban, gant or other views. There is a view to put work between different members of a team for example.

It’s selfhostable

Interesting that OpenProject is actually a fork of Redmine -- I've got an old Redmine instance I've been using on and off for well over a decade and now I am going to see how tricky it is to migrate over. It sounds like it used to be straightforward but I don't know if that's still the case.

Thanks for the lead!

I've used open project a bit and like it. It has a decently step learning curve in my opinion since I've never formally learned project management, but after getting used to it it's fantastic software
