|
|
|
[Focalboard](https://www.focalboard.com) is an open source, self-hosted project management tool that's an alternative to Trello, Notion, and Asana.
|
|
|
|
It helps define, organize, track and manage work across individuals and teams. Focalboard comes in two main editions:
|
|
|
|
* **[Personal Desktop](https://www.focalboard.com/download/personal-edition/desktop/)**: A stand-alone single-user Mac, Windows, or Linux desktop app for your todos and personal projects.
|
|
|
|
* **[Mattermost Boards](https://www.focalboard.com/download/mattermost/)**: A self-hosted or cloud server for your team to plan and collaborate.
|
|
|
|
Focalboard can also be installed as a standalone [personal server](https://www.focalboard.com/download/personal-edition/ubuntu/) for development and personal use.
|
|
|
|
## Try out Focalboard
|
|
|
|
### Focalboard Personal Desktop (Windows, Mac or Linux Desktop)
|
|
|
|
Try out **Focalboard Personal Desktop** by going to the Windows Store or the Apple AppStore, searching for `Focalboard` and installing to run the compiled version locally.
|
|
|
|
If you're running a Linux Desktop, [download the latest `focalboard-linux.tar.gz` release](https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/releases), unpack the `.tar.gz` archive, and open `focalboard-app` from the `focalboard-app` folder.
|
|
|
|
Note: For Windows and Mac users, while we don't yet offer **Focalboard Personal Desktop** outside of Store-based installs, it is in [consideration for the future](https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/issues/99) (please upvote the ticket if you're interested in this addition).
|
|
|
|
### Mattermost Boards
|
|
|
|
Mattermost Boards combines project management tools with messaging and collaboration for teams of all sizes. To access and use Boards, install or upgrade to Mattermost v6.0 or later as a [self-hosted server](https://docs.mattermost.com/guides/deployment.html?utm_source=focalboard&utm_campaign=focalboard) or [Cloud server](https://mattermost.com/get-started/?utm_source=focalboard&utm_campaign=focalboard). After logging into Mattermost, select the menu in the top left corner of Mattermost and choose **Boards**.
|
|
|
|
See the [setup guide](https://www.focalboard.com/download/mattermost/) for more details.
|
|
|
|
### Focalboard Personal Server (Ubuntu)
|
|
|
|
You can download and run the compiled **Focalboard Personal Server** by following [our latest install guide](https://www.focalboard.com/download/personal-edition/ubuntu/).
|
|
|
|
Download the latest server release from [GitHub releases](https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/releases)
|
|
|
|
## Building the server
|
|
|
|
Most development can be done on the Personal Server edition. 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 (or the path specified with --config).
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
* `make win-wpf-app`
|
|
* run `cd win-wpf/msix && focalboard.exe`
|
|
* *Requires: Windows 10*
|
|
* Docker:
|
|
* To run it locally from Offical Image
|
|
* `docker run -it -p 80:8000 mattermost/focalboard`
|
|
* To Build it for your Current Architecture
|
|
* `docker build -f docker/Dockerfile .`
|
|
* To Build it for a custom Architecture (Experimental)
|
|
* `docker build -f docker/Dockerfile --platform linux/arm64 .`
|
|
|
|
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 similar 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`
|
|
