Wekan is an open-source kanban board (Trello like) which allows a card-based task and to-do management.
Wekan / General
I do recommend daily backups https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Backup
because SD card could get corrupted, get full, etc
or alternatively, add USB harddrive and run Wekan there, with MongoDB moved to store there
I ended up installing on 19.10 because that was the first version where the dependencies seemed ok following the install instructions. Funnily enough, yesterday I downloaded 20.04 but it seemed not performant (not Wekan - I didn't get to installing it) - the load average on what was an empty system was over 2.0 rather than the expected 0.1. When I looked, it seemed that all the load was from (lol) SNAP threads... I have a suspicion that I should just have walked away and let it do whetever it was trying to do but I switched to the 19.10 instance as that was already up. I will try 20.04 again and be patient as it's plainly better to be on the latest LTS. Regarding backups, I'm also exploring the other unknown which is Mongo - I'm a longtime mysql user so familiar but I spent some time exploring Mongo yesterday with Mongo Compass and it started to make sense. I may post a silly question or two about backups when I see the Snap or docker versions - when it's "bare install" I believe I can work it. Yes, SSD is the way to go - waiting for Amazon to drop the drive through my door in an hour or so...
It's same with 19.10 and 20.04: When you start UB, at first it installs all updates. After that, you can install manual updates:
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y dist-upgrade
Then reboot and cleanup:
sudo apt clean && sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt -y autoremove
literally just tried again with a fresh image and I keep getting rejected first login with ubuntu/ubuntu - says incorrect password. This was on the same card I used yesterday re-flashed >_<
trying to flash another card and that failed even to write. It's clearly one of those days :-)
Flashed a 3rd and that finally allowed me to login.... this time there was a bunch of messages about ssh key generation so I presume that not happening was the cause of the login rejection on the original card. Lucky we have so much spare time atm (at least I do)
There could be some instructions at Internet how to configure RasPi3 to boot from external SSD
Yes - I have my main Pi running Raspian booting from SD then mounting SSD as root and will go the same way here. 20.04 is up and running now but I'll hold off on Wekan till either the Snap or Docker is available. I have it on the NUC for now via that docker so will be patient :-)
Hello All and first of all kudos to the wekan team and everyone contributing to it
we have been using wekan for our small startup since past month and we are loving it
I cloned the repo, uncommented the required lines and then did docker-compose up -d --build
and now its stuck at meteor updating dependencies ldap
@dineshsalunke For running from source you can use prebuilt bundle without Docker a) https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Windows
@dineshsalunke For building Docker image you should dual boot to Ubuntu 20.04 64bit, because Linux filesystem is much faster than Windows filesystem. I do build bundle on Linux without Docker. Well, if you wait long enough, Docker build on Windows does finish, but it's much faster to build on Linux
Or alternatively, build at some cloud server like DigitalOcean, AWS, Azure etc on Ubuntu 20.04 64bit
@dineshsalunke Wekan is about 20k-60k files of Javascript files, so filesystem performance makes significant difference. And also do use SSD or NVME disk, faster is better.
Actually it's 50k files. Building on Linux with NVME disk takes about 11 minutes, on fast server.
it's nice that yesterday bug from June 2015 is now fixed https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/200
Was fifth oldest open issue.
