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 :)

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 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 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.
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 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.
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.
This is one of the main reasons I want to move to Ansible or develop my docker skills a bit more. Having a true infra as code that’s all versioned would be amazing. Right now I’m about half and half.
