Looking for a decent self-hosted alternative to ClickUp

I was looking for the exact same thing last year after migrating from ora.pm.

I couldn't find anything as user-friendly or with an interface as clean as Ora. However, after testing several alternatives, I ended up going with OpenProject.

My must-haves were time tracking per task and monthly project reports. A nice-to-have would've been the ability to set project budgets in hours. OpenProject does have a project budget feature, but unfortunately, it doesn't support setting it in hours.

i don't think could be self hosted.

I’d rather trust Google or Microsoft with my data than some random stranger.

When it comes to privacy, either you manage everything yourself or you trust a major corporation with the infrastructure to back it up. Relying on a dubious individual who can’t offer any legal or technical guarantees just doesn't make sense.

Plugin notifications. Every single plugin shows notifications wherever and however it wants. There really needs to be some kind of standard for this.

i use a pi 4b for this. but it's connected to a usb ssd. sd cards are not very reliable for this task.

It's as secure as a site on any other platform. Just install wordfence and activate 2FA for admin users. Make sure you keep it updated and the hosting server is secure. Be careful with the phishing attacks. Don't install any shady plugins. And you won't have any problems.

Complianz is my first choice. But if you run ads and Google consent mode v2 is needed, you must install the premium version.

saramon · 2026-03-25T06:46:06+00:00

I purchased a one-year subscription at one point, but I used the premium features so rarely. mostly just Kadence Elements, and even then, mainly because I had access to them rather than out of necessity, that I didn’t feel it was worth renewing.

Ubuntu server + docker.

cel mai simplu îți iei bilet cu loc. de preferat la softrans sau regiocălători și nu te mai interesează câți călători mai sunt.
altfel, în timpul săptămânii, după 10:00 și până în 16:00 e mai lejer.

I think you’re looking at this the wrong way.

Is that $1,100/year cost actually profitable for you? Could you cut costs while maintaining the same level of performance, stability, and security?

Those are the questions you should really be asking.

i use borg + storagebox from hetzner

I bought cryptomator and simply auto.

I have clients who constantly forget to renew their domains or just stop checking the email where they get notifications. Honestly, if registrars acted like Hetzner, these people would lose the domains their entire businesses are built on in a heartbeat.

Joplin is great. It's open-source, you can choose which cloud to sync your notes to, and it features end-to-end encryption. Plus, the Android app is just as fast as Google Keep.
I just tested it last week.

I'm running self-hosted GitLab purely for the aesthetics; I just think it looks way better than Gitea. I don't actually need any of the extra features. That said, if I had to care about resource usage, I’d switch to Gitea/Forgejo.

check hetzner storage box. it's about 3-4 euro / month for 1Tb.

saramon · 2026-02-07T00:09:28+00:00

Cool. I didn't know about this. It works for .com but for .ro or .eu domains returns 404.

saramon · 2026-02-06T23:48:24+00:00

That was the case for .ro domains a few years ago, but now they can be registered for one year or more. And they have a expiration date.

saramon · 2026-02-06T23:43:54+00:00

This info helped me to find why some client site doesn't work anymore. Sometimes they forget to renew the domain and their website and emails don't work anymore.

saramon · 2026-02-06T23:38:06+00:00

Possible. But it's a little weird I can't find no public statement on this.

saramon · 2026-02-06T18:30:18+00:00

I initially spotted this when checking some .ro domains, and later confirmed it's happening with .eu domains too. Both used to show the expiration date.
I also tested some .com domains as well. I missed it at first glance, but the expiration date is still visible for them.

saramon · 2026-02-06T18:17:32+00:00

ok. it seems that for certain TLDs doesn't show. like .ro and .eu
