Just installed Leantime and I'm already looking for something else (alien.top)

What project management application are you currently utilizing? I'm seeking a solution with similar features but without the stability concerns. OpenProject seems a bit excessive for my requirements.

Leantime founder here. I am sorry you were running into issues with Leantime. Based on your GitHub issue https://github.com/Leantime/leantime/issues/2006 and discord messages it appears that you are attempting to run Leantime on a server with PHP7.

We dropped support for 7 a while ago. (Keep in mind that your CLI can run a different PHP version than the actual server).

The line in the code called out is a private variable definition with 3 different potential types. This was introduced in PHP8.

We‘re always happy to help get your Installation running but the min system requirements need to be met.

I use Taiga, it fills my needs.

I'm about to do a heavy migration to Leantime. What stability issues did you face with it?

[–] ithakaa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It seems to have random errors, sometimes css just doesn’t work, also it’s slow

Before you commit, have a play with it

[–] fideli_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Good to know. For new apps, I usually do a migration where I run old and new tools in parallel so I can get a side-by-side comparison for at least a few weeks. I'd like to see if I can make Leantime fall flat on its face or if it'll work for me. That's my task for the weekend!

Leantime founder here: Sorry you were running into issues. Did you ever get to update your PHP version to 8 and Leantime running (https://github.com/Leantime/leantime/issues/2006)? We didn't hear back from you after you submitted the initial issue on Github. Would love to know what was slow or the CSS issues you were encountering.

[–] ithakaa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, I got it installed and working and it a definitely a beautiful and well thought out application but unfortunately it has random slowdowns, it strange, as previously stated, the CSS just breaks at times

Maybe Plane or YouTrack

[–] somebodyknows_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Plane, even though I had issues selfhosting latest version.

Focalboard is simple to use, and is pretty customizable.

[–] ushills@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I use Redmine Docker and it's very stable.

[–] seriouslyfun95@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I hunted for a long time and settled on YouTrack. Use the community version and don't send analytics back to JetBrains. It's the most polished and easiest to setup + you get a well built mobile app along with it

[–] ithakaa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’ll check it out, thanks

[–] Psychological_Try559@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Openproject, definitely excessive but so what? Maybe you end up finding the features useful at some point?

I don't find it cumbersome--but if it's just me being used to it I'd be happy to find something more streamlined!
