With over 15,100 GitHub stars and seven years of battle-tested production use, OneDev replaces entire DevOps toolchains — GitLab, Jenkins, Jira, Artifactory — with a single Java application that runs comfortably on a 1-core 2GB server for medium-sized projects. The platform unifies Git hosting with ANTLR-powered language-aware code search and symbol navigation, pull request workflows with configurable branch protection rules and required reviewers, and customizable issue tracking with scripted state transitions that automatically advance issues when code is committed, builds pass, or deployments complete. The GUI-based CI/CD editor creates pipelines without writing YAML, supporting typed parameters, matrix builds, job templates, cache management, and artifact publishing in a single visual interface. Jobs execute via Docker containers, bare metal shell, Kubernetes pods, or distributed agent pools, with web terminal access for live debugging and the ability to pause running jobs for inspection. Built-in package registries handle Docker images, npm packages, Maven artifacts, NuGet libraries, PyPI wheels, and RubyGems without external infrastructure. AI users can be assigned to issues and pull requests to autonomously implement features, review code, fix CI/CD failures, and resolve merge conflicts. The automated Kanban board supports rule-based card movement, time tracking, timesheets, and service desk ticket creation via email. Cluster deployment enables project replication across servers for high availability and horizontal distribution for scalability. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

GLPI combines helpdesk ticketing, hardware inventory, license compliance, CMDB, and project management in a single PHP application with over 6,200 GitHub stars and 500,000+ Docker pulls, offering a unified ITSM platform that replaces ServiceNow, Freshservice, and ManageEngine without per-agent pricing. The ITIL-aligned service desk handles incidents, problems, changes, and service requests with configurable SLA management, approval workflows, satisfaction surveys, and business rules that automate ticket routing, escalation, and categorization. Native dynamic inventory through the GLPI Agent discovers Windows, Linux, and macOS endpoints with deep hardware profiling, while network discovery scans switches, printers, and infrastructure devices automatically. Software and license management tracks per-user and per-core license allocations with compliance reporting, expiration alerts, and financial cost tracking across the asset lifecycle from purchase through depreciation to disposal. Data center infrastructure management provides rack visualization with U-level positioning, PDU tracking, and connection mapping. The integrated forms editor builds custom request portals for end-users, while the self-service portal lets users submit tickets, browse the service catalog, and reserve assets. Webhooks trigger external HTTP calls on events, and the High-Level REST API v2 exposes every resource for automation. A plugin marketplace offers 90+ extensions for monitoring integration, advanced reporting, and authentication. Deploy via Docker with the glpi/glpi image alongside MySQL. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPLv3 licensed.

A deliberately simple ticketing system standing in for both Zendesk and Jira: Peppermint handles internal staff requests and external customer support alike. The stack is modern full-stack TypeScript: Next.js and React over Prisma and PostgreSQL, which makes it light to run and approachable for developers extending it. Ticket creation is straightforward - a markdown editor with file uploads, assignment, status tracking, and a logical workflow that new agents grasp without a manual. Mailbox integration converts email into tickets automatically: configure SMTP/IMAP per mailbox and incoming messages become trackable tickets. Each client accumulates an interaction history, giving agents context on every past request before replying. Two touches distinguish it from bare-bones ticketing: a built-in markdown notebook with todo lists for internal documentation and knowledge sharing, and OIDC authentication so agents sign in through your existing identity provider - Keycloak, Okta, Authentik, or Azure AD. Configurable webhooks and email notifications push ticket events to third-party services. The UI is responsive from mobile to 4K, and everything works fully offline in air-gapped environments. Docker-native and scalable via Kubernetes, with an active community of 3,000+ GitHub stargazers.

Scrumboy is a Kanban and sprint management tool that ships as a single Go binary backed by SQLite, deploys in under ten seconds via Docker, and uniquely integrates with AI coding agents through a standards-compliant MCP JSON-RPC endpoint. The dual-mode architecture supports Full mode with bootstrapped authentication, TOTP two-factor auth, OIDC/SSO integration through Keycloak, Authentik, Auth0, or Entra ID, role-based access control across Owner, Admin, User system tiers plus per-project Maintainer, Contributor, and Viewer roles, and Anonymous mode that generates instant shareable boards accessible via unique URLs with zero signup requirement. Custom workflows allow user-defined lane configurations per project including designated "Done" lanes, while sprints with configurable one or two-week cycles include board-level sprint filtering and the ability to disable and re-enable sprint tracking without losing history. Real-time Server-Sent Events power instant multi-user board updates, and outbound webhooks deliver JSON payloads to registered URLs when domain events fire with HMAC signature verification. The MCP endpoint at /mcp/rpc enables native integration with Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI agents through OAuth 2.1 with PKCE authorization, while API access tokens support CLI automation and CI/CD pipelines. Additional capabilities include VoiceFlow voice commands, per-project sticky-note walls, Markdown and Mermaid diagram support in task notes, append-only audit trails, VAPID Web Push notifications, SMTP password reset, Trello import, JSON backup with merge/replace/copy strategies, and 22-language internationalization.

Kandev provides a command center for orchestrating AI coding agents across parallel workstreams. The Go backend paired with a Next.js frontend delivers kanban boards with drag-and-drop columns, pipeline workflow definitions with per-step agent handoffs, and an IDE-like review workspace combining file editor, file tree, terminal, browser preview, and unified git diffs. Multi-provider support connects Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Qoder, Grok, and custom agents through configurable profiles with per-agent prompts, runtimes, and review gates. Tasks execute in isolated git worktrees with multi-repository support, letting agents work on separate branches simultaneously while changes surface in a consolidated review interface. Native integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, Sentry, and Slack pull external issues into the kanban and link tasks to pull requests. Kandev exposes streamable HTTP and SSE MCP endpoints, enabling external clients — Cursor, Claude Desktop, Augment — to create tasks and read workspace context programmatically. Workflow definitions export as portable YAML for sharing across installations. Agentic workflows chain multi-step pipelines mixing different models per step — Opus for architecture, Sonnet for implementation, with human review gates between stages. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Nearly two decades running engineering organizations: Redmine is the veteran open-source project management and issue tracker, a Ruby on Rails application (GPLv2) still in active development. Its core strength is configurability: define your own trackers (bug, feature, task, or anything else), issue statuses, and role-based workflows that control exactly which transitions each role may perform, then extend records with custom fields of every type. Issues support subtasks, relations (blocks, precedes, duplicates), watchers, categories, and full journaled history, with saved custom queries and cross-project filtering for slicing the backlog any way you need. Around the tracker sit Gantt charts and calendars, a roadmap driven by versions, per-project wikis, forums, news, and document repositories, plus time tracking with estimated versus spent hours and activity-based reporting. Multi-project support runs deep - subprojects, per-project modules, and granular role-based permissions - and repository integration (Git, Subversion, Mercurial) links commits to issues automatically. Email notifications, inbound email-to-issue creation, LDAP authentication, a REST API, and a large plugin and theme ecosystem round it out. Recent 6.x releases brought substantial query and rendering optimizations. Self-hosting keeps your entire project history in your own database, free of per-seat licensing.

The most-starred open-source project management platform on GitHub with over 55,000 stars, Plane delivers what Jira, Linear, Monday, and ClickUp charge thousands per year for — issue tracking, sprint planning, documentation, and AI-powered workflows in one unified workspace that you own and control entirely. Work items feature a rich text editor with file uploads, sub-properties, custom states, priorities, labels, assignees, and cross-referencing, organized across five customizable layout views (list, board, table, spreadsheet, Gantt) with Command-K navigation for instant access to anything. Time-boxed Cycles provide sprint planning with automatic burn-down charts, velocity tracking, and scope change detection, while Modules break complex projects into manageable deliverables with progress aggregation. Built-in Pages combine AI-powered documentation with rich formatting, image embedding, and one-click conversion of notes into actionable work items. The AI layer reads across every project, cycle, document, and thread in the workspace — agents take real assignments, triage incoming requests, assign owners, track blockers, and ship status updates automatically. Native integrations connect GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Sentry, Figma, and 50+ tools with bidirectional issue sync and PR tracking, while import pipelines migrate entire workspaces from Jira, Linear, Asana, ClickUp, or Monday in minutes. The REST API with OAuth 2.0, HMAC-signed webhooks, typed SDKs in Node.js and Python, and a native MCP server enable custom automations. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

With nearly 8,000 GitHub stars since its December 2024 launch, Kaneo has rapidly gained traction as the minimalist alternative to bloated project management platforms like Jira and Linear. Built on TypeScript with React and Hono, the interface strips away complexity to focus on execution — plan in list view, track in kanban board, and schedule on interactive Gantt chart timelines where dragging bar handles adjusts start and due dates with optimistic UI updates. Native GitHub integration synchronizes issues bidirectionally, links pull requests to tasks, and keeps product planning aligned with development execution without context switching. The built-in Model Context Protocol server at /api/mcp enables AI tools like Claude and Cursor to manage tasks, projects, and labels directly, while the official @kaneo/mcp npm package provides stdio access for local MCP clients. Authentication supports password, magic link, GitHub OAuth, and Google sign-in with organization-level access management. Rich text editing for task descriptions and comments, label-based initiative grouping, priority levels, assignee management, and due date tracking provide focused planning without ceremony. Deploy with the drim CLI for automatic HTTPS and database setup, Docker Compose for custom configurations, or Helm charts for Kubernetes clusters — all requiring just 2GB RAM and PostgreSQL. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

"Less is more" is Kanboard's stated philosophy, and the free, MIT-licensed PHP application lives it: drag tasks between customizable columns, enforce work-in-progress limits per column, and slice boards horizontally with swimlanes for releases, teams, or priorities. Tasks carry what matters - colors, categories, subtasks with time estimates, Markdown descriptions, comments, attachments, internal links, and due dates - and move or duplicate across projects in one click. A concise query language filters any board dynamically (assignee, category, due date, description), and saved filters become custom views. The automatic-actions engine kills repetitive triage: on events like column moves or task creation, Kanboard reassigns, recolors, recategorizes, or closes tasks by rule. Around the board sit a calendar, per-project analytics (cumulative flow, lead and cycle time), Gantt view, and time tracking. Authentication spans LDAP/Active Directory, Google, GitHub, GitLab, and reverse-proxy headers; a JSON-RPC API, webhooks for creating tasks from external systems, and a CLI cover integration. A large community plugin catalog adds what core deliberately omits. With no external dependencies, it runs happily on anything from a Raspberry Pi up - translated into 30+ languages.

Paca is a self-hosted project management platform and Scrumban workspace where autonomous artificial intelligence agents collaborate with human software engineers as first-class Scrum teammates instead of external chat assistants. Engineering teams manage sprints, backlogs, and task lifecycles through a shared real-time board powered by Socket.IO where both humans and agents pick up assignments and post progress updates. A native Model Context Protocol server connects external coding assistants such as Claude Desktop and Claude Code directly into projects, tasks, and sprint data without custom scraping scripts. Distributed agents execute in isolated runtime sandboxes powered by the OpenHands software development kit, co-authoring behavior-driven development Gherkin scenarios with product owners and maintaining living system design documents. Visual event-driven automation builders compose multi-branch trigger, condition, and action pipelines that evaluate task dependency gates and cron schedules. A sandboxed WebAssembly plugin runtime allows developers to write custom backend logic and custom board views using Go or Rust. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

With 27,000 GitHub stars and 349 releases shipping multiple times per week, Huly replaces four separate SaaS subscriptions — Linear for issue tracking, Notion for documents, Slack for team chat, and Motion for time-blocking — with a single self-hosted platform that charges nothing per seat. The issue tracker provides projects, sprints, roadmaps, custom workflows, and Kanban views with bi-directional GitHub and GitLab synchronization that keeps issues and pull requests in lockstep across both systems. Collaborative documents use CRDT-based real-time editing for wikis, meeting notes, and technical specs with nested page hierarchies and rich embedding. Team messaging delivers channels, direct messages, threaded conversations, reactions, and pinned messages in a Slack-equivalent interface that lives alongside your project context. The time-blocking planner schedules tasks into calendar slots with drag-and-drop, integrating directly with your issue backlog so nothing falls through cracks. A virtual office module provides audio and video rooms for standups and pair programming with external guest access. HR features handle team management, office hours, and PTO tracking. The architecture runs 30+ microservices on CockroachDB for ACID-compliant storage, Elasticsearch for full-text search, MinIO for file attachments, and Redpanda for event streaming. Desktop apps ship for macOS, Windows, and Linux alongside mobile apps for iOS and Android. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. EPL-2.0 licensed.

Trello's board model on your own server: Planka is an open-source Kanban project management tool. Boards organize into projects with lists, cards, labels, due dates, checklists, file attachments, and per-card stopwatch time tracking, all managed through drag-and-drop. Updates propagate over WebSockets, so a teammate moving a card or adding a comment appears instantly for everyone without a refresh - a genuine differentiator among self-hosted boards. Card descriptions use a full Markdown editor, custom fields adapt cards to your workflow, and views switch between Kanban, grid, and list layouts. Authentication supports OpenID Connect single sign-on with Google, Azure AD, Okta, or any OIDC provider - a feature Trello reserves for enterprise plans - and notifications reach 100+ channels including Slack, Discord, Telegram, and SMTP via Apprise. A REST API with 50+ webhook events supports custom integrations, and one-click board import eases migration. Built with React and Node.js on PostgreSQL, translated into 35+ languages, deployed via Docker.

Orbit is a free, realtime project management platform that unifies issue tracking, kanban boards, sprint cycles, and collaborative documents into a keyboard-driven workspace with native AI agent integration. Engineers can manage backlog items across customizable kanban boards, execute timeboxed sprint cycles with automated burndown charts, and link pull requests directly to the tasks they resolve. Team members compose specifications and meeting notes in rich-text documents with nested collections, inline comment threads, public sharing links, and self-contained interactive web pages that render alongside active project milestones. The built-in standup board aggregates workspace activity into an interactive kanban filtered to individual assignees, while comprehensive analytics dashboards report issue throughput, scope modifications, churn rates, and team distributions. Autonomous coding assistants connect directly through the integrated Model Context Protocol server to inspect project status, triage incoming tickets, file detailed bug reports, and trigger automated notifications across workspace channels. Custom views allow teams to filter issues by priority, estimate, or assignee and save shared workspace perspectives for recurring planning sessions.

With nearly 3,900 GitHub stars, over 1,800 forks, and continuous development since 2013 culminating in the v1.18.4 release in June 2026, osTicket remains one of the most deployed open-source help desk systems worldwide, trusted by organizations from small businesses to universities and government agencies. The PHP backend on Apache or IIS with MySQL stores every ticket, response, and attachment while the web interface provides separate agent and customer portal views with role-based access control across departments, teams, and individual agents. Customers submit tickets through web forms, email piping, or phone-entry by agents, and configurable ticket filters automatically route incoming requests to the correct department, assign agents or teams, set priority levels, apply SLA plans, and trigger canned responses based on matching criteria including custom field values. Agent collision avoidance locks tickets during response composition to prevent duplicate replies, while SLA plans with business hour schedules track due dates and escalate overdue tickets automatically. Custom forms and fields let organizations capture structured data specific to each help topic — from IT asset tags to billing account numbers — with configurable required and internal-only visibility. The advanced search system with saved queries and CSV export enables reporting across all ticket metadata and custom fields. The customer portal provides ticket tracking, profile management, and knowledge base access. OAuth2 plugin support enables modern email authentication with Microsoft 365 and Google.
