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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I'm looking for a self hosted Kanban board where we as a exteded family can track things which have to be done. Since my parents are getting older and me and my siblings live all in different countries there is more and more to do to help our parents. But it's difficult to keep track who is doing what and what status things are and we're forgetting to do things, etc.

But because we will need to store confidential information there I am not so fond of using something like trello and would rather want to selfhost it.

I had a look at some of the self hosted KanBan boards, but none of them were mobile phone friendly. But we really need it to be mobile friendly, best case scenario would be a app for both Android and iPhone, but a PWA would be also OK. Most of the work in the tool will be done by us on mobile phones because we are doing it mostly on the go.

We don't need much functionality, Tasks, subtasks, comments, assignees, status and attachments would be the most important ones, different project would also be good.

Anyone has some idea what I should look into?

If you don't find any hostable service, perhaps you could try Obsidian if its Kanban plugin works well in the mobile client. It's closed source, but all data is stored in markdown files, and you could use a self-hosted git server for storage and synchronization between users.

I've tried it a few times, that kanban plugin sucks. It doesn't even compete with Microsoft Planner in features.

Never used MS Planner, but the Kanban plugin does everything I need and I use it for my larger hobby programming projects. I was already using obsidian.md for other things so for me it was very convenient.
