Project Citadel - An open source project management tool

Citadel

Overview

A free & open source alternative project management tool.

Features

Currently citadel only offers basic task tracking through a Kanban board.

Currently you can do the following to tasks:

  • Add colors & named labels
  • Add due dates
  • Descriptions written in Markdown
  • Assign members
  • Checklists
  • Mark tasks as complete

Installation

With docker & docker-compose

You'll need both docker & docker-compose installed.

You will also need to install Mage or if you have Go installed already you can replace the mage command below with go run cmd/mage/main.go.

Now do the following:

mage up
mage docker:migrate

This will start a postgres instance as well as a citadel instance.

The second command runs the database shema migrations.

If you visit http://localhost:3333, you will get redirected to the installation screen so that you can create the first system user.

From Source

You'll need Golang installed on your machine.

Next, clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/JordanKnott/project-citadel && cd project-citadel

Next we need to build the binary. This project uses Mage for its build tool.

go run cmd/mage/main.go install
go run cmd/mage/main.go build

This will:

  • Install all yarn packages for the frontend
  • Build the React frontend
  • Embed the React frontend in the binary
  • Compile the final exectuable binary

The newly created citadel binary can be found in the dist folder.

It contains everything neccessary to run except the config file. An example config file can be found in conf/app.example.toml

The config will need to be copied to a conf/app.toml in the same place the binary is.

Make sure to fill out the database section of the config in order to connect it to your database.

Then run the database migrations with citadel migrate.

Now you can run the web interface by running citadel web

Roadmap

This is a list of features that will eventually be added to Citadel in no particular order:

  • Add a calender tab overview of task due dates
  • Add lists tab overview of tasks (alternative view to Kanban )
