Why did you let him keep using Trello when there are so many FOSS alts?
This is not somebody who can self host anything or setup something for himself. I do not know of any FOSS kanban solutions that are available as a SaaS solution. The available Trello free functionality suits his needs. Is there something wrong with Trello? It's owned by Atlassian, which is an OK company I think?
If you have any good FOSS alternatives, I'd be happy to know about them and forward on the recommendation. But keep in mind most folk are not tech minded and won't get very far with just a Github page.
You can use issues and issue boards in the free tier of GitLab. Not sure if that counts.
Does the open source self hostable version have the kanban board feature? I need a kanban board with oauth support for my volunteer team, I can't afford any paid licenses that are usually priced for salaried employees. Git integration might also be a bonus as I am intending to manage my projects using git repositories
It does.
I mean I myself am not a dev, only did some programming in school but not like I would know how to program a backend or a frontend. 😅
I know even less about linux or networking but I setup an old laptop with LinuxMint and made a server out of it (I know LM isnt a good server OS but I am not good with the terminal, so thats the compronise I did). I now selfhost Jellyfin and some more stuff. I would probably be able to setup a trello like app in a afternoon, despite not being IT-trained
😂
Wirh "set up" I mean selfhost, not develop. Thats not unreasonable, right? I installed jellyfin in a few with mounting drives and stuff, all with learning linux itself. So now selfhosting a further service is not that much of an effort. Of course it depends on the documentation and plug-and-play-readyness of the service
Are any of those FOSS alts actually as good as Trello?
That's a genuine question. I've been trying to find a trello replacement and so far I've had no real luck.
FocalBoard from MatterMost is pretty good. It doesn't have feature parity with Trello-- that's out of reach for almost everybody-- but it does pretty much everything I want. Plus it's FOSS, so you can extend it if you want (and are capable).
