Kaneo (MIT, 7.9 k+ stars, v2.16.2 — released August 10 2026) takes a different approach: a minimalist project manager you self-host on your own VPS.

Kaneo starts from the opposite assumption: most teams need a Kanban board and a link to their code repository. Self-hosting puts you back in control — your tasks in a PostgreSQL database on your own VPS, exportable as SQL at any time, with no premium plan needed for webhooks or unlimited history.",{"type":36,"title":37,"items":38},"ul","What you get with self-hosted Kaneo",[39,40,41,42,43,44,45],"Drag-and-drop Kanban boards — create columns, add tasks and track progress at a glance.","GitHub Milestones sync — connect your GitHub App to automatically mirror milestones as projects and issues as tasks.","Webhook destinations — trigger outbound HTTP calls on every task state change to notify Slack or your CI.","MIT licence — no commercial restrictions, free to fork and adapt.","Just two containers — Node.js app and PostgreSQL 16, total memory footprint under 400 MB.","SMTP-free login — email and password by default, no verification link step.","Multi-workspace support — isolate projects by client or team in separate workspaces.",{"type":32,"title":47,"body":48},"Prerequisites","A ServOrbit VPS with Ubuntu 24.04 and at least 1 GB of RAM is sufficient for a small team. Kaneo is lightweight: the Hono (Node.js) API and the Vue.js SPA together consume under 200 MB at idle; PostgreSQL 16 adds around 300 MB. Docker and Docker Compose are provisioned automatically by AWX on deployment. No domain name is required — Kaneo works behind the URL assigned by ServOrbit — but a dedicated subdomain (e.g. `projects.yourcompany.com`) simplifies sharing.",{"type":50,"title":51,"steps":52},"steps","Deploy Kaneo on your VPS",[53,56,59,62,65],{"title":54,"body":55},"One-click deployment from the ServOrbit Marketplace","Go to Marketplace → Collaboration & Productivity → Kaneo in your ServOrbit control panel and click Deploy.

Kaneo is a better fit for teams who live in their code editor: a clean Kanban, a direct GitHub connection and webhooks to automate without cognitive overhead.
