Roundup is a self-hosted tracking and support / ticketing tool. Issue-tracking tool for bugs, help desks, agile development, customer issues, and more.

Why self-host Roundup

Self-hosting Roundup removes the dependency on a third-party service. For anyone who values data ownership, that matters more than convenience in the long run.

What it does

Roundup falls into the Tracking, Support / Ticketing category of self-hosted software. It is designed to be deployed on your own infrastructure, whether that is a home server, a VPS, or a local machine running Docker.

Deployment

Like most modern self-hosted apps, Roundup supports Docker. A single compose file handles the deployment in most cases.

Alternatives

If Roundup does not fit your needs, common alternatives include Jira. The self-hosted versions of these tools often differ in resource requirements and feature focus, so it is worth testing the one that matches your workload.

Maturity

The current release is git. The project has moved past early development and tends to ship stable, documented releases.

License

It is licensed under MIT, making it freely available for personal and commercial use.
