In simple English
This tool lets you run your own project tracking boards on your own server. You get a dark interface, collapsible lists, and live updates without reloading the page. You can import your boards from Trello and log in with Google or GitHub. It costs nothing to download and run, but you need your own server to host it.
What it is
4ga Boards is a self-hosted kanban project management tool built with React (a JavaScript library for building user interfaces) and PostgreSQL (an open-source relational database). It provides a workspace for teams to track tasks across multiple projects, boards, and lists.
What it is good for
Solo builders and small teams who want an open-source alternative to Trello or Jira running on their own infrastructure. It removes the need to pay monthly subscription fees for project management software while keeping your task data private.
- Real-time updates without page reloads so you see team changes instantly.
- Direct import from Trello makes moving your existing projects simple.
- Built-in support for single sign-on with Google, GitHub, and Microsoft.
- Requires Docker (a way to run a program inside its own sealed box, so it cannot break anything else on your server) and Docker Compose to run easily.
- Consists of 149 open issues on GitHub that may need attention.
- You must manage your own server backups and updates.
