Vikunja hosting in the EU

Vikunja: to-do lists and projects for you or the whole household, as lists, boards or a calendar. On blitz.cloud you install it from the App Store in one click. It gets its own address with HTTPS, 1 GB of storage, and it runs on servers in the EU. You can run it on the free plan, without a credit card.

A self-hosted alternative to Todoist, Trello and Microsoft To Do

Vikunja does the job of Todoist, Trello or Microsoft To Do, but it is your own copy: your data sits in your app, not in somebody else's account, and nobody changes the price or the rules on you. Self-hosting usually means renting a server and keeping it patched. Here the App Store sets it up and keeps it running.

What it needs

Install it

1. Create a free account and open the App Store in the dashboard.
2. Search for Vikunja, or for Todoist, and pick a name. It becomes the address, like vikunja.yourname.blitz.cloud.
3. Click Put it online. The last step lists everything that gets created and how much of your plan it uses.
4. Open the app's address and register. Everyone who needs an account makes one the same way.
5. When everyone has one, set VIKUNJA_SERVICE_ENABLEREGISTRATION to false in Environment so nobody else can sign up.

Questions

Can I host Vikunja for free?

Yes. The free plan runs it without a card and without an end date. The app sleeps after 30 minutes without visitors, and the next visit wakes it.

Where is my Vikunja data stored?

On blitz.cloud's servers in the EU, run by BlitzWorks, a company in Germany. Once signed in, you can download the data processing agreement as a PDF.

Can I use my own domain for Vikunja?

Yes, on Pro, or on the free plan by making this one app a Pro app. HTTPS for the domain is set up for you.

Is Vikunja backed up?

On Pro its files are copied every night and kept for 30 nights, and you can put them back from the app's page. On the free plan they are not copied, so keep an export of what matters.

How does Vikunja get updates?

With automatic updates on, it gets new versions of its version line overnight. If a new version doesn't start, the one before it keeps running.
