What is it?

DooTask is an open-source online task and project management system aimed at teams that want to run their work on infrastructure they control. It covers task assignment and tracking, project management, instant messaging, file management, and several collaborative document tools including online mind maps and flowcharts.

The project is deployed with Docker and Docker Compose, with a bundled MariaDB service in the default setup. A one-line install script, along with local commands for start, stop, upgrade, password reset, port changes, and HTTPS configuration, handles most operations. Messages are encrypted with asymmetric encryption.

The repository also includes a development mode via Node.js 20+ and a build step for the web client, and desktop app builds are produced through its GitHub workflow.
