In my day job, we use Jira to manage our software development projects. For various things at home, I would also like to use a ticket system, And while I wholeheartedly hate Jira, compared to the open source alternatives I found, it is still the best system. Is anyone aware of a good alternative that provides a good backlog view, a Kanban board, and the possibility to group tickets together in epics and sagas.
Selfhosted Jira alternative

I mean, technically they could have hyper agile teams that use taiga there?
When they say agile they don’t mean that the company is flexible and adjusts to new situations quickly.
They mean that those companies are some of the most proficient in Agile software development methodology.
To be fair I see how people can get them confused. But in the context of work tracking they clearly mean the latter.

Taiga looks interesting, I will give it a spin!
kossa@feddit.org 1 month ago
FWIW Taiga had an rewrite and the successor is tenzu.net/en/
TheBlackFang@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Thanks for sharing! I’ve already used Taiga, which is super cute, for Scrum, but didn’t know about Vikunja. Looks really cool for stuff that doesn’t warrant its own project.

Redmine is the top self-hosted alternative to Jira
pedroapero@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Yep, I agree, UI looks a bit old but reacts quickly so it’s nice to use. You need to add plugins for some features like kanban IIRC.
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Holy wow that UI is a blast from the past

I self-host Forgejo and use its issues for this purpose, though it’s lacking if you need to track work centrally across repos.
lukecyca@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
OpenProject is what you’re looking for.
Sarek@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
When I tried it, it was quite weird and unintuitive to me, also the Community Edition lacks quite a lot of features.
whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
TIL Jira isn’t selfhosted anymore?
cron@feddit.org 2 months ago
They require an “data center” subscription now, and they will end support for that in 2029. So it’s basically dead.

Comically, the organization with the worst history for virtualization now doubled-down on SAAS. This is certainly going well.
Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 2 months ago
…and their SAAS version is a terrible pain to use
3abas@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s sloppy. They cobbles the existing self hosted java app into a SAAS, but it’s a horrible foundation. They should have rewritten it, but that’s asking them to pay developers instead of executives and profit was clearly prioritized.

Trac has backlog and milestones (for epics and sagas) and plugins offer kanbans. It’s been OK when I’ve used it, including hosting one.

God no

Check out OpenPeoject if you’re wanting something like Jira. Personally, for home/personal tasks, I like the Deck software that comes pre installed with NextCloud. It’s more basic, but I don’t need too many features for my personal stuff; just a kanban board.
Sarek@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
I tried Open project, but it was kind of weird. Also, for quite a lot of features, they require you to purchase a license. The community edition feels quite crippled.
Luckyfriend222@lemmy.world 2 months ago
GitLab can do all of this. But iirc the Epic feature is paywalled. As for a plain ticketing system(that can integrate with GitLab, try Zammad.
nucleative@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Huly is worth checking out. We’ve been on it for about a year. They’re in super active developments so features are coming rapidly, sometimes breaking or requiring migrations.
derek@infosec.pub 2 months ago
They seem to be in bed with livekit.io and OpenAI. They’re also still using Telegram and X. That means Huly isn’t a fit replacement for anything.
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That project looks great. If they ever move their code out of Github I would contribute.
Xaphanos@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s strictly a ticket system without any pm/kanban, but I really like RT request tracker.
zebidiah@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
… But why?
Are… are you going to ask your wife and daughter to start submitting tickets if jellyfin stops working, or nextcloud stops syncing?? Are you going to create dashboards to make sure you are meeting SLIs?
Or am I missing the point of what jira is for? (This is what I use jira for at work…)
eli@lemmy.world 1 month ago
This is what we use Jira Service Management for at work(break/fix tickets), but Jira, the core software, is used for stuff like code development.
Not sure what use case OP has for Jira specifically, but I could see it being beneficial for a homelab where you’re building out docker containers manually or tracking your own coding projects or you want an (overkill) way to do project management for your homelab.

get this, we use jira in hw development. it sucks btw
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 months ago
wekan and Jotty are very lightweight and flexible.

I think Request Tracker is the closest thing to Jira, whether it’s good or bad is an open question (for me).
fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Odoo has an Kanvan board. Never used it profesionally so metrics wise I cant tell you if its up to snuff but i liked it for personal use.
Jajcus@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
When JIRA practically stopped supporting self-hosted installations we migrated to YouTrack and it worked quite well. Not as powerful, but the simplicity also comes as an advantage.
marius@feddit.org 2 months ago
Also running youtrack here and I’m quite happy about it. It lacks some features though that seem quite basic to me. E.g. you can’t sort knowledge base articles alphabetically and in the Gantt chart you can’t show the due date of an issue
Also the android app crashes all the time
Damarus@feddit.org 2 months ago
The knowledge base really could use a lot of improvement. The basic ticketing and agile board system works quite well though.
