Open-Source Focalboard Gains Traction as Trello Alternative
Focalboard, an open-source task management platform, is gaining traction among freelancers, small teams, and enterprises. It offers robust features and data sovereignty, making it a viable alternative to popular commercial tools like Trello and Asana.
Focalboard boasts a range of features, including kanban boards, task lists, calendars, and database-style views. It's designed to cater to various use cases, from freelancers and small teams to enterprises requiring data sovereignty, and educational institutions or NGOs.
Deploying Focalboard on Debian 12 involves a series of steps. First, set up a server instance and install necessary dependencies. Configure PostgreSQL, then download and extract Focalboard. Next, configure the application, create a systemd service, and set up an Nginx reverse proxy. Finally, secure the setup with SSL. Debian 12 provides a stable, secure, and long-term supported base for running Focalboard in production.
Christian Wells, a software engineer, is involved in the development of Focalboard. He recommends deploying the platform behind Nginx with SSL enabled, securing PostgreSQL, running as a dedicated non-root user, and using systemd for service management. Shape.Host offers cloud VPS solutions tailored for modern applications like Focalboard.
Focalboard's open-source nature, self-hosting capabilities, and extensive feature set make it an attractive option for those seeking a collaborative, secure, and customizable task management solution. Its deployment on Debian 12, following best practices, ensures a stable and secure production environment.
