My team wanted to start using Trello to better organize the work we have to do and, since I believe it's much easier to start using foss software from the beginning rather then switching to it after years of using something else, I wanted to suggest now a different option, possibly selfhosted.

I've seen online that there is Focalboard that seems to be what we are looking for but I've seen it recently switched from being backed by mattermost team to be community-driven and I didn't found enough documentation on how to install it with docker on an arm server... Does anyone use it? Is it a good option or there are better ones? And if you're using it, could you help me spinning it up?

I've had bad experience with FocalBoard. Several times it lost data for no apparent reason, including during updates. Eventually I decided to stop using it because it was too fragile.

Yeah I’ve been using it for a couple of years and it’s matured a fair bit. But you’re right about being careful during updates, I always backed up my data before each one.
