Kanboard

Free and open-source Kanban board for self-hosting, built around work-in-progress limits.

Project Management

Kanboard is a self-hosted Kanban application with work-in-progress limits, drag-and-drop tasks, subtasks, attachments, comments, search filters, automatic actions and multiple authentication backends including LDAP/Active Directory and OAuth2. It is deliberately minimal rather than feature-complete, and targets users who want a simple board. No paid tier and no user limit are published.

Limits, notes & source

Self-hosted

Limits
The official site states the number of features is voluntarily limited. No paid edition and no user limit are documented.
Notes
The repository states the project is in maintenance mode: the author is not actively developing new major features, only small fixes. Worth knowing before adopting it for a business.

Pros & cons

Strengths

  • Distributed under the permissive MIT License. Source
  • Official Docker images, with compose files for SQLite, MariaDB and PostgreSQL. Source
  • Login via LDAP/Active Directory, or any OAuth2 provider (Google, GitHub, GitLab). Source

Trade-offs

  • The README states the application is in maintenance mode; the author adds no new major features. Source
  • Feature set is deliberately capped: "The number of features is voluntarily limited." Source
  • No official mobile application — the docs leave that to the community. Source
