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?

      Yeah it looks good from the screenshots but I’ve been burned by NextCloud in the past a lot and would like to avoid it.

          I don’t remember the details but there were several occasions

          1. The sync UX was so confusing that I set it up and deleted things on a unimportant device to make some room and that deleted it everywhere without me realizing it for some time so I lost those things forever. This is where I switched file syning to Syncthing.
          2. I ran it basically without apps only for syncing caldav and carddav and it took so many resources on my server that it constantly brought down the whole vhost with all other unrelated services and the UI was so slow I could only use it through the API from desktop and mobile clients. I then switched to the lightweight Radicals and deleted NextCloud which made space to many new services on the little Hetzner vhost.

          I haven’t seen self hosting small instances prioritized by NextCloud, I think it probably works very well on a beefy server for a lot of users, similar to Lemmy, but for one user instances it seems to not be well supported.
