Need help to setup a kanban on a local network for a small business (alien.top)

Other options I had was OnlyOffice and Trello, but they're all cloud based. Our area suffers from internet instability, so if we were to use cloud based kanban for project management system, the whole business shuts down everytime the internet crashes.

For years we've been using a local network (independent of internet) for our information system (one server computer cable routed to some 10 client computers for the staff), just wanted to up the productivity by using a project management system on top of it.

The next best option I came across was VIKUNJA. The application seemed very promising, plus it's opensource and self-hostable. But the tutorials I see always involve using the internet for self hosting it.

Is it possible to use this app in our local network instead? (The server computer OS is windows 10 pro). How do I go about setting it up? (Pretend I'm a 5 year old)

If this is the wrong sub for this, can anyone help me where's the next best sub?

Vikunja can be fully local. You just need a database (I think it only supports postgres). You can use the sqlite database for 1-2 users but I would use a full fledged database for an office setting.

I know they have a docker solution and if I remember correctly, a package solution as well. As others have said, you can get a RasPi or a cheap mini pc (better option in my opinion) and load Linux on it.

Once it is set up, you can use the machines ip to access it or put it in to a reverse proxy if you have one set up.
