I decided I wanted to self host an app like this just a few weeks ago. I started with Focalboard but just could not get it running as a personal server instance on Docker. (This could entirely be on me as I am very much still learning) I got confused in the whole what’s Mattermost / what’s still part of Focalboard talk, and I wanted to use a Docker compost file but they don’t have one on this page. I got an instance running anyway, but the site wasn’t responding when I tried to load it in my browser. I’ve made this work now for about 8 other apps but just could not find the root cause with this one.
I ended up installing and loving Planka though. For my extremely simple use case, it’s just right. The docker installation was dead simple and it ‘just works’ for me.
