Self hosted TO DO List - Your suggestions?
Dear all,
I am looking for a nicely working self hosted TO DO List that has features like due date or subtasks. It would be best if it could work without a database and look good on both mobile devices and workstations. Do you have any good suggestions for me?
Thanks a lot in advance & kind regards

I have heard of https://trello.com but never used it, it might be doing what you're looking for.
Trello is nice, but I would also be interested in seeing some self hosted suggestions. Good way to make use of some LEBs.
@SNetworks1: Looks really nice, but the focus is on self-hosted in my case.
I came across the following:

http://www.mytinytodo.net/
Speaking of Trello, deja vu right here: http://libreboard.com
Apparently there exists docker images of it all ready to go.
Whoops, thats what you get for skim reading posts.
redmine, Using it at work its pretty great :P

Self hosted, secure, available in offline mode, stylus compatible, easy sharing
@raymii made a great one. https://raymii.org/s/software/PHP-task-list-v2.html
Generally if something has the programming language it's written in as the center of its branding, you really really want to pick something else.
I've always found text editor and/or email to be the most flexible and powerful.
To be honest - the pure text solution would also be my preference. But how do I efficiently handle due dates and/or priorities that way?
Found this: http://lifehacker.com/5859642/why-you-should-set-up-your-to-do-list-in-a-plain-text-file-and-how-to-do-it

Will have a look...
I've never seen anything self-hosted that was as good as the cloud-hosted.
I use Toodledo (on web/desktop, iOS, Android, etc.) and it's excellent, but it's not self-hosted. There are many choices....not many in the self-hosted space.
Sooooooooooo I assume you don't value qualities such as privacy, independence, freedom (to customize as you wish), dependability (won't close down for good next month), that's rather unfortunate.
He surely does. Just like I do. I host everything I can myself. But, indeed, the self hosted solutions for ToDo Listst seem to be subpar unfortunately.
Sure those are risks - but ultimately you trade off features/capabilities versus the risks. To address yours specifically:
privacy - admittedly this one does irk me a little, but there's really very little someone could do to exploit my todo list. I don't keep anything exploitable there and the data is all stuff like "talk to Tom about licensing" or "find bday gift for Alice" which is not useful to anyone except me. Yes, perhaps the NSA could use it to build some grand profile but...I'm just not that paranoid.
freedom - these services have APIs and I do use them somewhat. As far as interface, I don't really have anything specific I want that isn't already present.
dependability - not worried about close down...I dump my Toodledo via script every night to a versioned text file. If they go out of business tomorrow, I won't lose any data and would move to another service.
The balance is
If something like Toodledo (or Wonderlist, etc.) was available self-hosted, sure, I'd use that. But there's a huge gulf between those services and what I find available in self-hosted. That's really all I was saying.
I certainly respect people who reject the public cloud vision and want to do everything themselves - my point was that for some things, you get equivalent functionality, but for some things (in this case) you don't.
Pray that one day an "UX designer" in an eternal quest to prove their worthiness of keeping a job and earning a paycheck doesn't ruin it, by introducing a "new version" of the site, which the actual users including you will universally despise. Because surely nothing like this has ever happened to any "cloud service" in the past, right.
What about, phpMyAdmin
?
That's an example of what he said, indeed.
I think I found what I was looking for:
https://github.com/bicarbon8/todoTxtWebUi
Together with the syntax of http://todotxt.com, this should be quite useful for my purpose.
Taskwarrior was on top of my list for self-hosted /independent before I decided to just get started with Trello.
I'm officially old I guess.
Whmcs has its own to do list. It has a long way to go before it is usable though.
OH MY GOD !!!
Fun aside - https://github.com/bicarbon8/todoTxtWebUi could indeed be the solution, if it would not store the document in the browser cache for later download, but rather work directly on a todo.txt file that is located on the same server. Mmmmhh... The search goes on.
Has anyone had a further looking this? Sorry to bring back an old discussion.
I'm looking for something like Trello ideally but self hosted and a basic Android app.
I personally use Jira at work and in my personal life, it's fantastic and a $10/yr license gets you up to 10 people (usually more than enough for yourself and family/friends)
