  • Good free knowledge base software for internal IT documentation
    If you want more functionality, such as a ticketing system and the ability to manage source code repos, look at Redmine (https://www.redmine.org/) which also has a wiki feature. Trac is older but also has a wiki (https://trac.edgewall.org/). - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago
  • Selfhosted support ticket system
    Try Trac, I've used it before without issues. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago
  • meetup.com equivalent?
    AFAIK Redmine is a project management software that mostly used in software development. If it is what you looking for, then check also track. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago
  • SQLite Doesn't Use Git
    The sound of it from the article reminds me some of https://trac.edgewall.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • Phabricator replacement? | Or OpenProject alternative? | issue tracking/code
    Trac - SQL based (literally in the GUI) issue tracker & documentation, not bad, not for me. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago
  • A brief history of Source Control
    Over the years I installed various web interfaces to allow “browsing” of source code, some even had bug trackers built in. The ones I can remember are Trac and Redmine. Both look to still be available and you can probably install them if you want to remember way back when. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago
  • Subversion E160013: '/svn/xxx/!svn/me' path not found* error
    I recently upgraded the bitnami trac stack (from 0.12.2-5 to 0.12.3) on our server and after reconfiguring all the scripts and repositories all seemed well. I was able to login and view the source code and browse through the repository using Trac. I tested checking out the source code and I could browse the repository via both visualsvn and tortoise. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago
  • How to empower your open source users and contributors
    While many projects these days choose to take reports of issues alongside where their code is hosted, some prefer to use an open source or third-party solution, such as Bugzilla or Trac. Wherever a project takes reports of issues and discusses them, making it very clear where community members should report current issues makes it an easier experience for them. As a side benefit, it lowers costs for maintainers by... - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
  • Professional Software Development at Zero Cost
    Trac Project - Free, Open Source, Self-hosted. Provides issue management, source control integration, wiki etc. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
  • Devs please make dev branch a permanent thing where we can test new features before they are complete
    Set up a proper development tracking/ticketing system such as Trac and give access to it to players on the dev branch. This will be miles ahead of the current spam on #game-feedback on FOD, and can be used as a proper platform to actually offer structured feedback to devs. Everyone will benefit from this, the devs and the players alike. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Auto-linking to issues (like github or trac) based on regex?
    In github, you can link to an issue just by typing #500. Trac had similar auto-link types for linking to source code lines, issues, etc. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • Show HN: Monte Carlo simulation for predicting project timelines
    I really like this idea and wish all project management tools included it by default. Fwiw Fogbugz has been using it for over a decade, called Evidence Based Scheduling: - https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2007/10/26/evidence-based-scheduling/ - https://support.fogbugz.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011258994-Evidence-Based-Scheduling-EBS- - https://blog.fogbugz.com/evidence-based-scheduling There’s at least one Jira app... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • Ticketing system
    As long as I remember https://trac.edgewall.org/ should be able to receive emails and create tickets. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
