Downloads

Downloading and installing Wekan on various platforms.

Related


New at 2019-08-04. For Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and SLES. Testing how to get it working in progress here.


New at 2019-06-30. If CPU architecture has enough RAM and fast harddisk, it can be used for production.

Stop Wekan. Download newest bundle version at https://releases.wekan.team .

Install Node 8.16.0 and some MongoDB like 3.2.x - 4.x. Preferred 4.x if available. Bundle works for Windows native Node.js and MongoDB, arm64 server, etc any CPU node+mongodb. Building from source does not seem to work on Windows.

Extra steps for CentOS 6:

  • Install gcc-4.9.3 and boost
  • Add gcc to path, for example: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/gcc-4.9.3/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.3/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  • At below fibers step, do instead npm install [email protected]

Then, for example:

mkdir repos
cd ~/repos
rm -rf bundle
wget https://releases.wekan.team/wekan-3.01.zip
unzip wekan-3.01.zip
cd bundle/programs/server
npm install
npm install node-gyp node-pre-gyp fibers
cd ../../..

Then modify start-wekan.sh or start-wekan.bat for Node and MongoDB paths. See Raspberry Pi page for info about systemd etc.


Production: Univention platform, many apps and Wekan.

  • Virtual Appliances Download: VirtualBox, KVM, VMware, VMware ESX
  • Video of installing Univention Wekan Appliance
  • After installing, you get license key file in email. Go with webbrowser to VM ip address like http://192.x.x.x and upload license. After that also on VM screen console login as root is possible. If you install KDE app from App Center with webbrowser, you get KDE on VM screen.
  • Wekan for Univention Feature Requests and Bug Reports
  • Univention Open Source repos
  • Univention interview at FLOSS Weekly 480
  • VM based on Debian. Free and Enterprise versions of Univention are same, only difference is paid support.
  • Univention VM can be standalone, or replace Windows Server Active Directory, or join to existing Active Directory. Has web UI, LDAP server, Users/Groups management, adding user to app.
  • Wekan LDAP login is integrated to Univention LDAP. Create at Univention web UI at Users management LDAP Domain Admin user, and add Wekan app for that user, to get Wekan Admin Panel. Normal users don't have Admin Panel.
  • Has Wekan. From App Center you can install RocketChat, WordPress, OnlyOffice, NextCloud, OpenXChange, etc. Some apps are full free versions, some other apps require payment for more features. Wekan is full free version.
  • Wekan on Univention is based Wekan Docker version. Upgrading all apps on Univention upgrades also Wekan to newest available Wekan version.
  • Newer version of Wekan will be released when building and testing is done.

Production: Sandstorm platform, many apps and Wekan.

Security audited, recommended for security critical use on public internet or internal network. Sandstorm Security Features. Sandstorm is completely Open Source, including Blackrock Clustering.

Use SaaS or install to your own server. Automatic updates, tested before release. Sandstorm Wekan has different features than Standalone.

Please support Sandstorm by subscribing to paid plan. Free plans will be discontinued because there is not enough paid subscribers to pay for server costs. xet7 has spent countless hours to keeping Wekan working on Sandstorm platform, and many depend on Sandstorm daily. Wekan Team website and blog run on Sandstorm Oasis, using account paid by xet7. xet7 plans to add more fixes to features to Sandstorm platform. You can also support Wekan on Sandstorm by using Commercial Support by xet7.

Works

Does not work


Standalone Wekan: Docker, Snap, etc others non-Sandstorm

Works on Snap and Docker

Does not work fully yet, being tested at bleeding edge

Usually for production you just install Ubuntu 18.04 or Debian 10 VM (or without VM) and install Snap. Minimum 2 GB RAM required, preferably 4 GB or more. Requires KVM/XEN/HyperV VM or Bare Metal, where Linux kernel 3.x or 4.x or newer works, and also Snap works without problems. Requires working websockets.

Production: Docker. No automatic upgrades, use if you have time to test new release first, and it's critical nothing gets broken.

Only Standalone Wekan. If security is critical, keep behind firewall, without any ports open to Internet.

Production: Snap for Linux, install to your own server or laptop. Automatic Updates. Only Standalone Wekan.

If on Snap Stable automatic update breaks something, report Wekan for Snap bugs and feature requests here, so it can be fixed on some automatic update. If security is critical, keep behind firewall, without any ports open to Internet.

  • Install Snap on Linux 64bit.
    • Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint based distros
    • Arch
    • Fedora
    • Solus
    • OpenSUSE
    • Gentoo
    • Manjaro
    • Elementary OS
    • CentOS 7
  • Cloud: Some additional info
