In my day job, we use Jira to manage our software development projects. For various things at home, I would also like to use a ticket system, And while I wholeheartedly hate Jira, compared to the open source alternatives I found, it is still the best system.

Is anyone aware of a good alternative that provides a good backlog view, a Kanban board, and the possibility to group tickets together in epics and sagas?

    … But why?

    Are… are you going to ask your wife and daughter to start submitting tickets if jellyfin stops working, or nextcloud stops syncing?? Are you going to create dashboards to make sure you are meeting SLIs?

    Or am I missing the point of what jira is for? (This is what I use jira for at work…)

      This is what we use Jira Service Management for at work(break/fix tickets), but Jira, the core software, is used for stuff like code development.

      Not sure what use case OP has for Jira specifically, but I could see it being beneficial for a homelab where you’re building out docker containers manually or tracking your own coding projects or you want an (overkill) way to do project management for your homelab.

      Wanted to look at Taiga a bit and then saw this:

      halliburton uses it?

      That’s a no for me, dawg.

      EDIT: Nah the downvoters are right, Halliburton is one of the “most agile” companies in the world, and has a stellar reputation I should flaunt on my homepage /s

        I mean, technically they could have hyper agile teams that use taiga there?

        When they say agile they don’t mean that the company is flexible and adjusts to new situations quickly.

        They mean that those companies are some of the most proficient in Agile software development methodology.

        To be fair I see how people can get them confused. But in the context of work tracking they clearly mean the latter. They even use the capital “A” in “Agile”.

      They require an “data center” subscription now, and they will end support for that in 2029. So self hosting jira is basically not an option anymore.
