The record

Product: LokalBoards is an open-source Kanban board for teams that runs on their own server.
Live collaboration: Cards, comments, and progress updates appear for other board users without a refresh.
Roles: Users can be invited by email as owners, members, or read-only guests.
Views: Boards can be viewed as columns or as a single list.
Checklists: Markdown checklists in card descriptions update their completion count as boxes are ticked.
API and agents: A scoped API and built-in MCP server let assistants work with boards through credentials that can be revoked.
Imports: It imports public Trello boards and export files from Trello, Wekan, and Nextcloud Deck.
Integrations: Configured SMTP is used for outgoing email, and users can configure webhooks.
Data and telemetry: Board data is stored in the user's own MySQL database, and the maker says LokalBoards has no telemetry and does not phone home.
Deployment: The Docker image includes MySQL for a one-command setup, with the option to use an external database.
Security configuration: The setup guide says the bundled database password is generated on first start and MySQL listens only on the container loopback interface.
Backups: Users arrange their own backups of the MySQL database and attachment files.
Languages: The interface is available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Ukrainian, Portuguese, and Czech.
Intended users: The maker describes it as a Kanban board for teams and says the same build supports teams from five to five hundred people without seat limits.
