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 actually use GitLab for a ton of this stuff plus all my dev work. The issues and boards are all I need, and can be tracked at the group level, so why add another tool?
Emacs org-mode, although with minimal organsation (just a single tag typically, which org-agenda then shows in my calendar if I've scheduled it for a certain time). It does support priorities too, but I don't typically use that.
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.
Have you looking into GitHub projects?
I haven't. I was hoping for something that could be standalone and not attached to a specific repo. But maybe this will work. I'll look at it more.
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 also use gitea, in a bit unstructured way. I do have a dedicated project which I use for project "management" (I.e. dump ideas about new services, new tools to write, improvements and sometimes bugs to fix), I also use repo specific issues for things that concern that particular repo (I have terraform repos, ansible repo, code repos, kubernetes/flux repos etc.). I also use taskwarrior for my actual to do list, which is more general than my homelab.
The main point for me is just not to forget about stuff, but I don't want to do issue tracking in a way that feels like my second job. For this gitea projects work quite nicely, and they are easily tied to PRs, so that I can go back and easily cross reference what I did for a specific issue.
