Selfhosted

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.

Does anyone have any recommendations for issue tracking for homelab setups? I'm sure I could host some Jira clone but that feels overkill for what I'm doing, and something like MediaWiki is too general purpose.

I'm hoping to track future project ideas (Install Jellyfin / Sonarr, etc) and issues with my smarthome (Fireplace Light not accepting color changes via Google Assistant). Ideally with some kind of organization to it (priorities, subitems, etc).

Yeah I could use plaintext, but that's no fun :)

Vikunja has become my whole life todo list app and I throw server stuff on there too. I've enjoyed it quite a bit.

I actually use GitLab for a ton of this stuff plus all my dev work. The issues and boards are all I need, and can be tracked at the group level, so why add another tool?

Emacs org-mode, although with minimal organsation (just a single tag typically, which org-agenda then shows in my calendar if I've scheduled it for a certain time). It does support priorities too, but I don't typically use that.

I use a combination of Obsidian and Notion to track my home lab. Obsidian is all the detailed configs and todo’s, while Notion is the documentation for the rest of the family

I’m trying to move off of Things 3, since I tried to consolidate daily/life tasks with a different section for my lab. Yeah, that hasn’t worked out too well so far. My new job uses GitLab exclusively, so I figure that might be a good pain point to learn the ins/outs of, including issue tracking.

I don't, that sounds too much like work. I do what I want when I feel like it.

I have used Trello for idea tracking in the past.

I landed on Trello for managing my entire life. Personal projects, work projects, home projects, whatever: there's a board and 200 cards for things I'll never actually do :P

It's not self-hosted, but it's free for a limited number (5?) of boards and I mean, good enough.

This might be the best option honestly, though self hosted would be a bit better of course.

Thank you, I got tunnel vision to selfhosted options.

If you want to self-host, Vikunja is a pretty good replacement for Trello.

Have you looking into GitHub projects?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I haven't. I was hoping for something that could be standalone and not attached to a specific repo. But maybe this will work. I'll look at it more.
