About Versions (101)

Kanboard is a free and open source project management tool built around the Kanban methodology. It lets you visualize work as boards with customizable columns, swimlanes, task limits, and drag-and-drop cards, plus automatic actions, calendar and Gantt views, and a plugin system for extending functionality.

Kanboard Docker Compose example

Self-host Kanboard on your own server, homelab, or VPS starting from this Docker Compose example. It runs Kanboard in Docker containers using the official kanboard/kanboard:latest image, with persistent volumes and automatic restarts preconfigured. Review the environment variables and adjust them to your setup, save the file as compose.yml (or docker-compose.yml), and start the stack with docker compose up -d.
