Planka - A Trello-like Kanban board React/Redux

[seeker]

Not sure how it compares... but thought I would add it:

A Trello-like kanban board built with React and Redux.

I know we already have Wekan, but Planka has now reached v1.0 (in fact v1.8.1), is well maintained, has a docker image, and is generally less cluttered / more modern looking and friendly to use than Wekan. Depending on how hard it is to package it could be good to have it on Cloudron.

@avatar1024 looks good. I was using WeKan but am liking Nextcloud Deck in part due to the nice mobile web.

+1 ... Kanbanboard is now in maintenance mode only so perhaps Planka is the ascendant one. Because it's not in Cloudron right now I am having to try to run it outside of Cloudron but would prefer not to.

I know we already have wekan, kanboard, etc but this one has a really lovely and clean interface. Less feature rich but great for easy use and actively developed. Don't know how hard it might be to package but it would be cool to have.

None of the Kanban apps Cloudron offers has proper mobile support. I'd say any new suggestion should have that to be enough of a significant improvement over the existing ones.

Planka looks nice, sure, but it doesn't seem to offer a proper mobile layout or an app.

Actually I think it does:

This looks great – I find Wekan a bit janky and would love to use this instead. Much more like Trello.

Looking at the Docker Compose, this one is actually a very clean/light app.

1. The license is the GNU Affero, so there should be no licensing issues.
2. The Dockerfile is small, and basically a node app.
3. The docker-compose.yml is actually simple! It spins up the image for Planka, it has a whole bunch of environment variables (commented out as documentation, mostly), and it expects Postgres as a database.
4. It has a backup script!
5. It has an active repo and community!

I'm... in a rather tough spot in terms of time, but this feels like a good packaging target. @girish , @nebulon , is this app one that you would want to see in the app store? (To me, that's an important first question.) If so, do you have additional requirements (e.g. tests, automation) that you would want to see in place?

[timconsidine]

@jadudm good comment although more relevant is that it is a node app than the docker-compose is simple (packaging needs a Dockerfile).

Just so other possible packagers are aware, are you planning to package it yourself ?

[jadudm]

Ah. I tend to look at the compose, because if there is a large list of additional services, cramming them into a single container can become a problem from my point-of-view.

I agree 100% with your assessment. (I think that was what I was implying with my #2.)

If the Cloudron team thought this was good to add to the stable of apps, I'd give it a go. And, I'd want to do the work to integrate it into whatever build/test frameworks that are in place. However, my workplace is going through some complex and public difficulties, so my energy at the end of the day tends to be limited. So, that's a "yes, but" on diving in on packaging right now.

I'm sure they have nothing against it . As far as I know they don't give a go ahead regarding apps or have a selection / veto process. If someone from community packages an app, they'll be super happy, they'll do some final checks to ensure it's done well and they'll publish it.

It's more for the app they package themselves that they select usually from the wishlist depending on votes, or from their own needs. But there again, it's just a way to prioritise, rather than to say they wouldn'd happy to publish others.

I've started work on this, and will update this thread when I have it in a repo. That might be later today, it might be in another day or two. I managed to get:

1. A modified Dockerfile
2. A modified startup script
3. The image pushing to a (local) private repo
4. An install into my local Cloudron

And, at that point, I have more environment variables to set.

So, it seems possible/I'll make the work public shortly.
