Traq

What is Traq?

Traq is a free, open-source project management and issue tracking system built with PHP. It enables teams and developers to manage multiple projects, milestones, and sprints through a self-hosted solution that provides full control over project workflow and data. The platform is designed for organizations seeking an alternative to cloud-based project management tools. Users can track issues across projects, organize work into sprints and milestones, and collaborate with team members. As a self-hosted solution, Traq allows teams to maintain their own infrastructure and keep project information on their own servers. Traq requires PHP 8.3 or higher, MariaDB or MySQL, and a web server configured to support URL rewriting. The installation process involves cloning the repository, installing PHP and Node dependencies through Composer and pnpm, and building the user interface. The project is actively maintained on GitHub and distributed under an open-source license, making it accessible for teams of any size. Its lightweight architecture and self-hosted nature make it suitable for organizations with specific compliance requirements or those preferring to manage their own development infrastructure. Traq serves as a straightforward alternative for teams looking to reduce reliance on third-party project management services while maintaining essential issue tracking and project planning capabilities.
