What is Reddit's opinion of OpenProject?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You could give OpenProject a try: https://www.openproject.org/ Used for my last Project and was pretty happy with it, the 7.0 version added some very useful features. They used to also have a MS Project plugin, but i can‘t find it anymore.

I'll add Openproject to your list, has more features than many of the alternatives that people are listing as many of those don't even meet all of the requirements you have, like time and cost tracking, as well as budgets.

It's a fork of redmine. Open source and I personally ran it from localhost, so it was offline in my case.

It's on Ruby tho, so RAM hungry and not really lightning fast.

When I get requests like this, I either give them OpenProject (https://www.openproject.org/) or GaantProject (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ganttproject/)

Usually they can figure out what they want to do between the two.

It depends on your project discipline, I generally do PRINCE2. If I'm working for a large company (I'm a contractor) then it is usually MS project in the UK, but I've heard from fellow PMs that the latest version doesn't fit P2 well.
If I have a choice then I'd normally suggest Open Project but I haven't been near it since v3 iirc.

Open project, Orange scrum and Kendo Manager are three self hosted project management software that offer the best price-performance ratio.

I tried to follow the instructions from the provides url, but ran immediately into troubles with the openproject configure step: it asks for a postgres-, instead of a mysq-server.

My gripe with the instructions: it's not easily reproducable (type this, type that), and they're inconsistent (sudo this, sudo that and then suddenly no need for sudo anymore). And they seem to be outdated (mysql/postgres)

I'd say go the docker way. Much cleaner (no 101+ dependencies on your system to clean up if you want to remove openproject, no difficult to follow instructions), and openproject itself provides the docker image (I'd say: they know best):

$ sudo -i # yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo # yum install -y docker-ce # yum install -y docker-ce # systemctl start docker # systemctl enable docker # usermod -a -G docker <your_account>

then follow the steps on https://www.openproject.org/docker/

mkdir -p /var/lib/openproject/{pgdata,static} docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name openproject -e SECRET_KEY_BASE=secret \ -v /var/lib/openproject/pgdata:/var/openproject/pgdata \ -v /var/lib/openproject/static:/var/openproject/assets \ openproject/community:8

took me 1 copy/paste and about 5 minutes waiting. There are more detailed configurations on that page, you might want to look into that

ps. the page mentions last version is '9.0.2', while the instructions talk about '8'. Change last line 'openproject/community:8' into 'openproject/community:9'.

We're using OpenProject because it was easy and we have simple workflow. Our operations team were interested in getting on board, but have found their workflows rely on triggered events and alerts that aren't available out of the box with OP. If I were to do it all over again, I might look more closely at Jira or RT or something closer to a real IT management suite. But, OP is getting the job done now and we're more or less happy with it for now.

https://www.openproject.org/ maybe? I tried it for a little while, but ended up getting confused and frustrated with the lack of features.

If you're really stuck with open source... I wish you the best of luck. IMO, your options suck. If you have just a little bit of a budget, JIRA + Agile is amazing.

This sounds like project management. If you are looking for no cost solutions you might look at https://www.openproject.org. I've never used this, but it looks like they are trying for something like Microsoft Project, which is great for scheduling, resource management, budgeting and all the other stuff you might be interested in.

It might be overkill, but it seems like there's NextCloud and OpenProject integration.

Does RedMine have any NextCloud integration these days?

The closest thing you will find to Jira is OpenProject https://www.openproject.org. Than you can integrate OpenProject with NextCloud with this app https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/integration_openproject. Tbh OpenProject is not at the same level of Jira in terms of feature and customization and the Agile/Kanban board are available only to paying license.

Interesting. Ok so the app needs a gui because thats the only way to interact with it, I think. Its a trading card game. I tried running it on a single vps and accessing using rdp, but it was too slow. I did try to put it on a docker-ubuntu container using wine and playonlinux, and had some success with it, but it wouldnt log in, and it wound up using 100 percent of my cpu to run it. Im guessing because like you said, its a virtual machine. So I am wondering if it might actually work on a linux system after all. Will have to try it.

But What I was wondering, is can I just have the app running on my vps and only access the app. A while back I was playing around with openproject (https://www.openproject.org/) and the way it worked, is it ran on a specific port that you can access from the browser by going to the serverip:port. Then it would display its app in your browser.

The way I was using the docker container was similarly using an internal ip and exposing port 22. Xserver listens on this port and when you run the app it pops up your window. (i set it to pcmanfm).

However both of these were on linux. I dont know how to do it on windows, if its even possible. The big advantage to doing it this way is you dont have to render the entire desktop gui, just the app window.

Nextcloud is great cause it is structured similar to other cloud services and that makes it easier for people to learn. It also has smartphone apps to access and share files. There also might be a selfhosted platform that would serve your needs better. Maybe even one that is geared to the work your non-profit is engaged in. You mentioned working on projects, and there are alot of selfhosted options for project management that also allow you to manage documents online. https://www.openproject.org/ you might want to take a look at r/selfhosted

Hi u/Witzker
the editing and saving back to OpenProject is unfortunately not possible in OpenProject itself. You would need to download the document, edit and upload it again. We have an integration with Nextcloud (https://www.openproject.org/docs/user-guide/integrations/nextcloud/#openproject-and-nextcloud-integration) but I see that you don't like it.

Kind regards, Rebecca

Hi! Please check out this guide for upgrades:
https://www.openproject.org/docs/installation-and-operations/operation/upgrading/#upgrading-your-openproject-installation

&#x200B;

Last night we deployed OpenProject 11.4

I had to answer myself, if someone is still interested please try it --> https://www.openproject.org/download-and-installation/

As you can see you have many options and it is quite simple without registration or email verification and you know ....

I know how much of a hassle project management can be. As the IT Manager of a agency, I have to delegate a lot of tasks. We manage over 20 projects and I was looking for a reliable tool to help me streamline our process.
There is no ideal project management tool, but I have worked with these
three tools for the last 2 years:
Projectmanager.com is a project management software solution that offers applications including budgeting, time tracking, task management, document management and reporting. It also offers a variety of integrations (MS Excel, Word and Project Server, as well as Google Docs)
Kendo Manager is Self-hosted (On-premise ) project portfolio management solution. It comes with Unlimited projects and tasks, time tracking, Gantt chart, Kanban, resources management, document management and team collaboration, such as messages and automatic notification. Each user has their own dashboard with all the tasks assigned to them.
OpenProject- include task tracking, gantt charts, project scheduling, meetings management, bug reporting, time tracking, cost reporting, budgeting, and more among others.

I hope I helped .

I'm not sure about Polls & Surveys and the website functionality but OpenProject should check most of the boxes. You can install it with Docker for example and since it's derived from Redmine you could also use compatible apps and tooling from that.

board-card-checklist -> client-task-subtask (cards can hold many todo checklists)

Also see. It has a nice and hierarchy based todo list, you can disable all other modules per project

https://www.openproject.org/

Its overkill, but you can take a look at OpenProject, maybe there are some functions that fit your needs. Otherwise I think a trello alternative like wekan or taiga coukd be usefull.

I think what you’re really looking for is project management software, not a stand alone Calendar. Project management software includes basic calendar views on top of other views like GANTT. They’re generally meant for much longer timeframes and complex requirements.

Here are a few examples...

I'd be surprised if this gets any upvotes given its very niche appeal, but someone is bound to stumble across the link at some point.

OpenProject is an open source project management tool with a free community edition and a commercial enterprise product. If you are interested in project management, it gives you a lot of tools to play with - and unlike Github boards, Monday & all the other online startups you get to keep everything locally on your own server, running PostgreSQL/Apache, without having to wonder if your tool of choice is still going to be there in a few months, or, even worse, somebody threw all your post-it notes away over night.

If you don't have a proper linux box sitting around, you were so far out of luck - OpenProject doesn't supply any ARM packages. With lots of trial and error it looks like I found some versions of ruby & node that allow to build OpenProject locally on a Raspberry Pi 4.

Everything works well, the software is responsive & has run without a single crash for weeks. So - if you want to start tracking your DIY projects with timelines, wikis, collaborators, task lists, documentation and all the other project management bling, this is an option now that only requires a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 GB RAM, and a few hours of work.

Or a few minutes, if I find a way to host a clean system image that can just be burned onto a memory card. Recommendations for a host that allows multi-GB sized files?

https://www.openproject.org/

this is cool, but i see a bit of gray area though.

i don't know if the code relies in non-free packages at first, and the License Agreement (mentioned as Contribuitor License Agreement)^([PDF file]) only grants you the rights over Contributions, which are defined as basically just being your part of the code. and although they mention the use of some licenses endorsed by the Free Software Foundation, and the license Creative Commons BY-SA, most of the license is not very appealing.

i say it is not to be considered free, but just open.

According to openproject docker page the port is 80. Check example docker-compose.yml for my setup. The .env file is here.

Can you ping the address and port from inside the docker network - the openproject container is up and ready to recieve connections?

If yes then the problem is upstream.

If not check the logs of the container using docker logs -f openproject

Btw the details you've provided are minimal at best. More context would be helpful...

/u/pm_me_your_js_lib has a good recommendation with Trello, but I want to throw https://www.openproject.org/ into the ring. Downside is, you need to host it yourself on a Linux System, e.g. Raspberry or similar.

Apparently Redmine is compatible with nginx http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/HowTo_configure_Nginx_to_run_Redmine

OpenProject allows subversion as well https://www.openproject.org/help/user-guides/repository/ (would prefer this one :))

So if every one is OK, you might start creating it ;)
