# Focalboard
Like what you see? :eyes: Give us a GitHub Star! :star:
[![Focalboard](website/site/static/img/hero.jpg)](https://www.focalboard.com)
[Focalboard](https://www.focalboard.com) is an open source, self-hosted alternative to Trello, Notion, and Asana.
It helps define, organize, track and manage work across individuals and teams. Focalboard comes in two editions:
* **Focalboard Personal Desktop**: A stand-alone desktop app for your todos and personal projects. This is a single-tenant locally run server running Focalboard for optimal speed and performance.
* **Focalboard Personal Server**: A self-hosted server for your team to collaborate
The same server binary powers both editions.
## Building the server
Please refer to the [Developer's Tips & Tricks](https://www.focalboard.com/contribute/getting-started/dev-tips/) for more detailed steps. Here's a summary:
First, install basic dependencies:
* Go 1.15+
* Node 10+ and npm
* Mingw64 on Windows
```
make prebuild
make
```
## Running and testing the server
To start the server, run `./bin/focalboard-server`
Server settings are in config.json.
Open a browser to [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) to start.
## Building and running standalone desktop apps
You can build standalone apps that package the server to run locally against SQLite:
* Mac:
* `make mac-app`
* run `mac/dist/Focalboard.app`
* *Requires: macOS Catalina (10.15)+, Xcode 12+.*
* Linux:
* Install webgtk dependencies
* `sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev`
* `sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev`
* `make linux-app`
* run `linux/dist/focalboard-app`
* *Tested with: Ubuntu 18.04*
* Windows:
* Open a git-bash prompt
* Install win-node-env `npm install -g win-node-env`
* `make win-wpf-app`
* run `cd win-wpf/msix && focalboard.exe`
* *Requires: Windows 10*
Cross-compilation currently isn't fully supported, so please build on the appropriate platform. Refer to the GitHub Actions workflows (build-mac.yml, build-win.yml, build-ubuntu.yml) for the detailed list of steps on each platform.
## Unit tests
Before checking-in commits, run: `make ci`, which is simlar to the ci.yml workflow and includes:
* Server unit tests: `make server-test`
* Webapp eslint: `cd webapp; npm run check`
* Webapp unit tests: `cd webapp; npm run test`
* Webapp UI tests: `cd webapp; npm run cypress:ci`
