Kanboard works well with any great VPS hosting provider such as Digital Ocean, Linode or Gandi.
To have the best performances, choose a provider with fast disk I/O because Kanboard use Sqlite by default. Avoid hosting providers that use a shared NFS mount point.
Kanboard have been tested on the following devices:
- Mozilla Firefox
- Safari
- Google Chrome
- Internet Explorer > 10
- iPad (iOS)
- Nexus 7 (Android)
Kanboard doesn't work very well with eAccelerator. The issue caused can be a blank page or an Apache crash:
[Wed Mar 05 21:36:56 2014] [notice] child pid 22630 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
The best way to avoid this issue is to disable eAccelerator or define manually which files you want to cache with the config parameter eaccelerator.filter.
The project eAccelerator seems dead and not updated since 2012. We recommend to switch to the last version of PHP because it's bundled with OPcache.
Kanboard use the function password_hash() to crypt passwords but it's available only for PHP >= 5.5.
However, there is a backport for older versions of PHP. This library require at least PHP 5.3.7 to work correctly.
Apparently, Centos and Debian backports security patches so PHP 5.3.3 should be ok.
Kanboard v1.0.10 and v1.0.11 requires at least PHP 5.3.7 but this change has been reverted to be compatible with PHP 5.3.3 with Kanboard >= v1.0.12
If you don't want to install a web server like Apache on localhost. You can test with the embedded web server of PHP:
unzip kanboard-VERSION.zip
cd kanboard
php -S localhost:8000
open http://localhost:8000/You can use an external tool to import automatically your tasks and lists from Wunderlist to Kanboard.
This is a command line script made by a contributor of Kanboard. It's simple, quick and dirty but it works :)
