I’m not an organisation, just an individual who likes to use that sort of board to organise himself.
Is anyone using something they’d recommend? Preferably ready to go with Docker of course.
The closest free alternative to Trello would be Planka, IMHO. It works really well (rock stable, quick, painless), is pretty and doesn’t need much resources. The only thing I miss (which Trello also lacks, btw) is the ability to have subtasks in the way Jira allows them; for this, Plane or Leantime might be good candidates (I haven’t used either of them yet, though).
Omg! it looks identical to trello, just started my selfhosted journey and Nextcloud seems to be working fine for me. Planka seems like a nice upgrade for the near future. Do you know if its possible to import from trello or deck?
Yes, it does offer importing from Trello: In a “project” (i.e. a collection of boards), after clicking the plus-button to add a new board, you can either just give it a name and create an empty board, or your can click “import from Trello”. I haven’t tried it, though, I’m not a Trello user (because why should I; I have Planka, haha). You can probably try out the import capability with their demo instance.
Have fun with your self-hosting adventures!
I’ve been using Planka for a while. Very stable, does one job very well. No complaints so far.
Planka looks like a really good option! I don’t suppose you know if the timer feature has some sort of report available - being able to export the time spent on each card?
Nextcloud Deck is a really good choice and I use it, but I also know Vikunja is great
Maybe https://vikunja.io/ suits your needs.
Another thumbs up for Vikunja. Even approved by the wife! Note that integration with Apple reminders is not working currently and there doesn’t seem to be a solution.
This looks cool - I like that you can flip between the different view modes (list, gantt, kanban) rather than having to go all in on one (kanban usually).

I use Nextcloud Deck now, but before that, I used Wekan.
Wekan was great and has more features, but Deck does all I need and I’m already running Nextcloud anyway.
I have Kanboard up in a Docker container.
Not the most flashy or modern but lightweight and gets the job done. Good if you want something very easy to spin up in Docker.
Not sure about Docker integration but I use Asana for this sort of thing.
I use Obsidian with the Kanban plugin to organize my personal projects, and sticky notes on my wall for other things.
Azure DevOps free tier is probably enough. You can also host your own private repos there.
Trello has free tier too.
I’m happily using Nextcloud Deck. If you’re already running Nextcloud, it’s trivial to set up. But I’ve never used Trello, so I don’t know how they compare; I would bet Trello has more features.
There are a number of open source web apps that are based around “kan ban” which is similar to Trello in approach. A few are:
- Kanboard https://kanboard.org/
- WeKan https://wekan.github.io/
- Taiga https://taiga.io/#Features
There are more out there if you search for “open source kanban” or “open source kan board”.
I use TickTick which is perfect for my needs. Not self-hosted but it is free.
I use Kanboard.
I like the appearance of https://taiga.io/ but I haven’t gotten around to try hosting it myself
Good luck if you try, I’ve spun up taiga a awhile ago for a work colleague who wanted to try it. I still haven’t figured out how the f SSL Is supposed to work with it. The docs don’t explain it and I had no luck with nginx as reverse proxy so far either.
Try Notion. It is great for personal stuff, highly customizable. They have also added a set of project management tools recently.
I imagine they are looking for a solution that you can self-host. Notion is great but you can’t host it on your own hardware.
