No problem

6:45am

When making changes to source code you can not use prebuilt bundle

6:45am

You need to build from source

6:45am

There is existing Wekan-Gogs integration https://github.com/wekan/wekan-gogs

6:45am

You can look at it for inspiration to integration to Gitea

6:46am

You can also send pull requests to that integration and Wekan https://github.com/wekan/wekan

6:47am

For UI changes, you can send pull request for new theme https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Custom-CSS-themes

6:48am

Or add some new config options to Board Settings

6:49am

I do recommend sending all your changes to this upstream Wekan https://blog.wekan.team/2018/02/benefits-of-contributing-your-features-to-upstream-wekan/

6:49am

Because it's a huge amount of work to maintain separate fork of Wekan

6:50am

I'm releasing new version of Wekan about once a day

6:51am

So in case of fork, you would need to merge changes and fix merge conflicts very often

6:52am

Current UI plans are here https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/3086#issuecomment-629682047

6:54am

If you don't have any important files on your Ubuntu 18.04 then you could install Ubuntu 20.04 on top of it

6:54am

Or alternatively, from Ubuntu 20.04 live USB copy files to your Windows partition

6:56am

For some new laptops, booting to Linux requires disabling Secure Boot and enabling Legacy Boot

6:56am

at BIOS/UEFI settings

6:59am

The time to build could change in future, if there are fixes to build time bottlenecks. For example, previously building Wekan did take about one hour - after changing one dependency to older version, time dropped to 11 minutes.

7:01am

Some future fix could also change time from 11 minutes to much less, or some more. It remains to be seen, there are updates to dependencies very often.

We checked wekan-gogs

7:27am

but we need something more different and tightly integrated, also wekan-gogs in not maintained for quite some time now

7:28am

one of the first things i would like to do is update the rest API

7:30am

one of the first difficulties we are having with rest api is there is no search parameter
