Does anyone have any recommendations for issue tracking for homelab setups? I’m sure I could host some Jira clone but that feels overkill for what I’m doing, and something like MediaWiki is too general purpose.
I’m hoping to track future project ideas (Install Jellyfin / Sonarr, etc) and issues with my smarthome (Fireplace Light not accepting color changes via Google Assistant). Ideally with some kind of organization to it (priorities, subitems, etc).
Yeah I could use plaintext, but that’s no fun :)

Vikunja has become my whole life todo list app and I throw server stuff on there too. I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit.
I don’t, that sounds too much like work. I do what I want when I feel like it.
I have used Trello for idea tracking in the past.
Fair enough. My main issue is keeping track of all the weird bugs in my setup that reveal themselves when I have guests. I don’t usually have time to resolve them in the moment but I want to track them so I don’t forget.
It’s hard to find something that’s organized just enough without being too heavy handed and making the homelab feel like work.
I use a combination of Obsidian and Notion to track my home lab. Obsidian is all the detailed configs and todo’s, while Notion is the documentation for the rest of the family
I’m trying to move off of Things 3, since I tried to consolidate daily/life tasks with a different section for my lab. Yeah, that hasn’t worked out too well so far. My new job uses GitLab exclusively, so I figure that might be a good pain point to learn the ins/outs of, including issue tracking.
I landed on Trello for managing my entire life. Personal projects, work projects, home projects, whatever: there’s a board and 200 cards for things I’ll never actually do :P
It’s not self-hosted, but it’s free for a limited number (5?) of boards and I mean, good enough.
This might be the best option honestly, though self hosted would be a bit better of course.
Thank you, I got tunnel vision to selfhosted options.
If you want to self-host, Vikunja is a pretty good replacement for Trello.
As a direct kanban alternative to Trello, Kanboard is a focused & uncluttered selfhosted option.
I use Gitea issues
Does gitea let you have issues that do t belong to a specific project?
My smarthome isn’t backed by a git repo, and having a phantom placeholder project isn’t super appealing to me to force things to work. (though Ill take a look, may be worth the fuss, especially since I could use a gitea instance anyway…)
I actually don’t know, I create issues by repo. I have 2 servers, so 2 repos. Any time I change anything I create an issue in the repo for that server.
