# Wekan
Wekan is an open-source kanban board which allows a card-based task and to-do management, similar to tools like WorkFlowy or Trello.
![Wekan Screenshot](../images/wekan.jpg)
Wekan allows to create Boards, on which Cards can be moved around between a number of Columns. Boards can have many members, allowing for easy collaboration, just add everyone that should be able to work with you on the board to it, and you are good to go! You can assign colored Labels to cards to facilitate grouping and filtering, additionally you can add members to a card, for example to assign a task to someone.
There's a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3iMLwCNOro) of the developer showing off the app, as well as a f[unctional demo](https://wekan.indie.host/b/t2YaGmyXgNkppcFBq/wekan-fork-roadmap).
!!! note
For added privacy, this design secures wekan behind an [oauth2 proxy](/reference/oauth_proxy/), so that in order to gain access to the wekan UI at all, oauth2 authentication (_to GitHub, GitLab, Google, etc_) must have already occurred.
## 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
## Preparation
### Setup data locations
We'll need several directories to bind-mount into our container, so create them in /var/data/wekan:
```
mkdir /var/data/wekan
cd /var/data/wekan
mkdir -p {wekan-db,wekan-db-dump}
```
### Prepare environment
You'll need to know the following:
1. Choose an oauth provider, and obtain a client ID and secret
2. Create wekan.env, and populate with the following variables
```
OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_ID=
OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_SECRET=
OAUTH2_PROXY_COOKIE_SECRET=
MONGO_URL=mongodb://wekandb:27017/wekan
ROOT_URL=https://wekan.example.com
MAIL_URL=smtp://wekan@wekan.example.com:password@mail.example.com:587/
MAIL_FROM="Wekan <wekan@wekan.example.com>"
# Mongodb specific database dump details
BACKUP_NUM_KEEP=7
BACKUP_FREQUENCY=1d
```
### 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``` 👍

!!! note
Setup unique static subnets for every stack you deploy. This avoids IP/gateway conflicts which can otherwise occur when you're creating/removing stacks a lot. See [my list](/reference/networks/) here.
## Serving
### Launch Wekan stack
Launch the Wekan stack by running ```docker stack deploy wekan -c <path -to-docker-compose.yml>```
Log into your new instance at https://**YOUR-FQDN**, with user "root" and the password you specified in gitlab.env.
## Chef's Notes
1. If you wanted to expose the Wekan UI directly, you could remove the oauth2_proxy from the design, and move the traefik-related labels directly to the wekan container. You'd also need to add the traefik network to the wekan container.
