I'm looking for a very simple ticketing app to self host, first to put in use my new small home lab. My family often has me as the IT guy and want a lot of stuff from me so I'd like to host a simple ticketing system such as uvdesk or glpi, self hostel, lightweight and preferably dockerised.

Do anyone knows if something like that exist ? or is uvdesk the most simple ticketing app out there ?

I've used Spiceworks self-hosted back in the day. Not sure how good it still is.

First, have a look at these pages for some ideas:

Have you ever used Midnight Commander or a filesystem browser? If you're comfortable finding your way around a directory tree, here's a quick and dirty example with your tickets under a folder called "issues":

FILENAME                            CONTENTS

+--issues

You don't need a bunch of separate files; I like directories in case there are screenshots, email messages, etc. Something like this would also work using (say) dokuwiki.

Not exactly the same use case, but I use Vikunja for task management.

I've tried a few self hosted options for this, the best so far was Zammad (can host via docker)

That being said I'm also using the free version of Atlassian Jira & Confluence. The free Jira allows multiple projects and then you can use kanban or whatever type of flow. That's to be honest maybe the easier to manage as the mobile app is pretty good and it's easy to setup vs Zammad which took a little bit of tinkering.

There is another one I cant recall the name of now, when it comes to me il add it here but it was probably too basic to be very useful.

thank you !

Lucky me my family doesn't ask for shit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Best solution, don't help for free. You won't need a ticketing system, because they won't ask.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

From some of the other comments you said you want a web form. NocoDB supports this and has Kanban/list views, but admittedly lacks many features found in dedicated ticketing systems.

We use the Deck app in Nextcloud to manage some kanban boards. Nextcloud isn’t simple by any means but there are docker images or install packages for lots of platforms, including raspberry pi. It’s a pretty “heavy” solution for just kanban but it’s nice for file sharing and access, among other things.

We use vikunja for this. In terms of creating, assigning and closing tasks

I have been using you track. It's been pretty good.
