About WeKan ®

WeKan ® is a completely [Open Source][open_source] and [Free software][free_software]
collaborative kanban board application with MIT license.

Whether you’re maintaining a personal todo list, planning your holidays with some friends,
or working in a team on your next revolutionary idea, Kanban boards are an unbeatable tool
to keep your things organized. They give you a visual overview of the current state of your project,
and make you productive by allowing you to focus on the few items that matter the most.

Since WeKan ® is a free software, you don’t have to trust us with your data and can
install Wekan on your own computer or server. In fact we encourage you to do
that by providing one-click installation on various platforms.

WeKan ® is used in most countries of the world.
WeKan ® largest user has 30k users using WeKan ® in their company.
WeKan ® has been translated to 154 languages.
[Features][features]: WeKan ® has real-time user interface.
Platforms: WeKan ® supports many platforms.

WeKan ® is critical part of new platforms Wekan is currently being integrated to.

Requirements

1 GB RAM minimum free for WeKan ®. Production server should have minimum total 4 GB RAM.

For thousands of users, for example with Docker: 3 frontend servers, each having 2 CPU and 2 wekan-app containers. One backend wekan-db server with many CPUs.

Enough disk space and alerts about low disk space. If you run out of disk space, MongoDB database gets corrupted.
SECURITY: Updating to newest WeKan ® version very often. Please check you do not have automatic updates of Sandstorm or Snap turned off.

Old versions have security issues because of old versions Node.js etc. Only newest WeKan ® is supported. WeKan ® on Sandstorm is not usually affected by any Standalone WeKan ® (Snap/Docker/Source) security issues.

Reporting all new bugs immediately.

New features and fixes are added to WeKan ® many times a day.

Backups of WeKan ® database once a day minimum.

Bugs, updates, users deleting list or card, harddrive full, harddrive crash etc can eat your data. There is no undo yet. Some bugs can cause WeKan ® board to not load at all, requiring manual fixing of database content.

Roadmap and Demo

[Roadmap][roadmap_wekan] - Public read-only board at WeKan ® demo.

[Developer Documentation][dev_docs]

There are many companies and individuals contributing code to WeKan ®, to add features and bugfixes

many times a day.

We also welcome sponsors for features and bugfixes. By working directly with WeKan ® you get the benefit of active maintenance and new features added by growing WeKan ® developer community.

Getting Started with Development

The main branch uses Meteor 3.5 with Node.js 24.x.
See CHANGELOG.md for the latest runtime updates.

To contribute, create a fork and run ./build.sh (or ./build.bat on Windows) as detailed here. Once you're ready, please test your code and submit a pull request (PR).

Please refer to the developer documentation for more information.

First-Time Setup for Development

Prerequisites

Before building WeKan from source, ensure you have:

Git - for cloning the repository
Node.js 24.x - WeKan requires Node.js 24.x
Meteor - the JavaScript framework WeKan is built with

Installing Node.js 24.x

bash
# Using nvm (recommended)
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash
source ~/.zshrc  # or ~/.bashrc
nvm install 24
nvm use 24

Installing Meteor

bash
curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

Building WeKan

The build.sh script shows a two-level menu. The top level groups options into categories:

1) Setup   2) Dev server   3) Tests   4) Docker   5) Tools   6) Quit

You pick a category number, then the item number inside it (each submenu also has a Back entry). Building from source is a three-stage process:

1. Setup -> Install dependencies - Downloads all required Meteor packages and npm modules
2. Setup -> Build WeKan - Compiles the application
3. Dev server -> localhost:3000 - Starts the development server at http://localhost:3000

bash
# Clone your fork
git clone [email protected]:YOUR_USERNAME/wekan.git
cd wekan

# Make the script executable
chmod +x build.sh

# Step 1: Install dependencies (Setup -&gt; Install dependencies)
./build.sh
# Press 1 (Setup) and Enter, then 1 (Install dependencies) and Enter

# Step 2: Build WeKan (Setup -&gt; Build WeKan, after dependencies complete)
./build.sh
# Press 1 (Setup) and Enter, then 2 (Build WeKan) and Enter

# Step 3: Run WeKan in development mode (Dev server -&gt; localhost:3000)
./build.sh
# Press 2 (Dev server) and Enter, then 1 (localhost:3000) and Enter

If a dev server is already running on that port, the Dev server options stop it automatically and start a fresh server on the same port.

WSL Users

WSL users can use Snap Candidate. See install docs.

The development server will start at http://localhost:3000. Any changes you make to the source code will automatically trigger a rebuild and refresh your browser.
