In Detail
Why OpenProject on Your Own Server?
Your team’s project plans, tasks and hours stay on your server in Frankfurt instead of in someone else’s SaaS tool. The Community Edition is open source with no per-user fee – you only pay for the server.
OpenProject combines classic and agile project work: work packages with a Gantt chart and dependencies, boards for Scrum and Kanban, time tracking, meetings and a wiki per project. The panel installs OpenProject 16 as a Docker container with an integrated PostgreSQL database and a German interface by default. The “admin” user gets a generated password, shown in the panel, and your e-mail address – the forced password change on first login is skipped. Enter your domain right at installation, because OpenProject writes the host name and HTTPS into its configuration; it cannot be added in the panel later. The first start sets up the database and takes a few minutes. With at least 4 GB of RAM and 20 GB of storage, OpenProject is one of the larger apps.
