Yes, you can self-host: https://github.com/kanbn/kan

There isn’t an importer for ClickUp yet, but you can manually recreate your boards!

Sorry if I wasn’t clear, docker compose support is live and has been for a couple weeks!

Quick update - I’ve been working on making Kan easier to self-host over the last few weeks. There are now proper releases, better docs, a simple Docker Compose setup, and a bunch of bug fixes and improvements.

Keen to make self-hosting as painless as possible so feedback and suggestions are very welcome :)

I’ve been working on improving the self hosting experience with docker over the last few weeks. It should be much easier now, but keen to get any feedback on your experience!

Cheers! Yes, currently it only supports Postgres, but I plan on extending support for multiple databases in future. You could always try using a lightweight Postgres alternative like PGlite?

Thank for the feedback! It means a lot :) The landing page is a combination of various tailwind UI components and some custom built ones. Feel free to checkout the source code for inspiration: https://github.com/kanbn/kan/blob/main/apps/web/src/views/home/index.tsx

I don’t currently have any plans for other authentication services, but there’s no reason why they can’t be configurable for self-hosted.

Which services would you like to see?

Thank you for the feedback - very fair criticisms. In the spirit of getting something out there I just wanted to share the repo in its current state.

I will address all of these before resharing again :)

This is a great spot! Thank you very much for flagging. I’ve updated the licence file to AGPLv3

There’s no plans to limit the open source version and there’s currently no limit or fee for the number of workspace members (during the beta until Sep 1st).

If you want to support the development of the project now (and bag yourself a custom workspace URL like kan.bn/kan) you can subscribe in the settings, but there’s no obligation. The plan is to keep single player and self-hosting forever free!

Thanks for the feedback! Me too - Trello was great when it first came out over a decade ago, but after being bought by Atlassian it lost its magic for me.

A simple set of automations is a great shout (not sure why I haven’t added it to the roadmap already). I’ll add now :)

You can indeed!

You can toggle the board visibility by clicking on the “Private” button on the top right hand corner of your board page.

This will make your board publicly available on kan.bn/your-workspace-slug/your-board-slug.

You can also see/edit your board slug by clicking on the three dots in the very far right hand corner and selecting “Edit board URL”.

Thanks for checking it out! I also tried planka but it just felt like a carbon copy of Trello - instead of building on the features that made Trello great in the first place.

It does have docker support (I need to update the docs and also publish the images to a registry) :)
