hero: Kanboard - A recipe to get your personal kanban on
# Kanboard
Kanboard is a Kanban tool, developed by [Frédéric Guillot](https://github.com/fguillot). (_Who also happens to be the developer of my favorite RSS reader, [Miniflux](/recipes/miniflux/)_)
!!! tip "Sponsored Project"
Kanboard is one of my [sponsored projects](/sponsored-projects/) - a project I financially support on a regular basis because of its utility to me. I use it both in my DayJob(tm), and to manage my overflowing, overly-optimistic personal commitments! 😓
Features include:
* Visualize your work
* Limit your work in progress to be more efficient
* Customize your boards according to your business activities
* Multiple projects with the ability to drag and drop tasks
* Reports and analytics
* Fast and simple to use
* Access from anywhere with a modern browser
* Plugins and integrations with external services
* Free, open source and self-hosted
* Super simple installation

## Ingredients
1. [Docker swarm cluster](/ha-docker-swarm/design/) with [persistent shared storage](/ha-docker-swarm/shared-storage-ceph.md)
2. [Traefik](/ha-docker-swarm/traefik) configured per design
3. DNS entry pointing your NextCloud url (_kanboard.example.com_) to your [keepalived](ha-docker-swarm/keepalived/) IP
## Preparation
### Setup data locations
Create the location for the bind-mount of the application data, so that it's persistent:
```
mkdir -p /var/data/kanboard
```
### Setup Environment
If you intend to use an [OAuth proxy](/reference/oauth_proxy/) to further secure public access to your instance, create a ```kanboard.env``` file to hold your environment variables, and populate with your OAuth provider's details (_the cookie secret you can just make up_):
```
# If you decide to protect kanboard with an oauth_proxy, complete these
OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_ID=
OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_SECRET=
OAUTH2_PROXY_COOKIE_SECRET=
```
### Setup Docker Swarm
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like this:
!!! tip
I share (_with my [patreon patrons](https://www.patreon.com/funkypenguin)_) a private "_premix_" git repository, which includes necessary docker-compose and env files for all published recipes. This means that patrons can launch any recipe with just a ```git pull``` and a ```docker stack deploy``` 👍

## Serving
### Launch Kanboard stack
Launch the Kanboard stack by running ```docker stack deploy kanboard -c <path -to-docker-compose.yml>```
Log into your new instance at https://**YOUR-FQDN**. Default credentials are admin/admin, after which you can change (_under 'profile'_) and add more users.
## Chef's Notes
1. The default theme can be significantly improved by applying the [ThemePlus](https://github.com/phsteffen/kanboard-themeplus) plugin.
2. Kanboard becomes more useful when you integrate in/outbound email with [MailGun](https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-mailgun), [SendGrid](https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-sendgrid), or [Postmark](https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-postmark).
