Nine Yards
Nine Yards
Nine Yards (As in "going the whole nine yards") is a self hosted, free, and open source team and project management tool. Like Trello or Asana, just you don't spend your life savings on the utilities your team wants, needs and everything in between.
Why Nine Yards
TODO
Getting started with Nine Yards
Nine Yards can be run in multiple configurations so you'll need to make some choices before getting started.
If you don't already have an idea of where you can host your own Nine Yards instance look here.
Picking a database
Nine Yards fully supports both SQLite and Postgres functionality wise you'll see no difference. By default SQLite is used for ease of setup but if you are expecting many concurrent users often, or or any other reason, you may want to use postgres instead.
Hosting the site
Nine Yards' front end can either be served statically from the backend or can be ran seperately allowing server side rendering to be utilised. If you dont have multiple servers it's likely best to serve the site statically; although, you can run both concurrently and route incoming traffic using software like Nginx as a reverse proxy.
Using Docker (Reccomended)
TODO
Building From Source
To build Nine Yards from source you need some tools first. For the backend install Rust through Rustup and for the front end Node.js aswell as pnpm which can be installed using npm, which is bundled with Node.js.
Getting the source
# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/Rabbitminers/Nine-Yards
cd Nine-Yards
Building the project
# This may take some time as all dependencies need to be downloaded and compiled
# Build everything
make build
# or
# Build only the frontend site
make build-frontend
# Build only the backend
make build-backend
Running Nine Yards
# Make sure to configure your instance first
make run
What if I don't have a server?
There are many great options for hosting Nine Yards both cloud and localy. If you are looking for something free, Oracle Web Infrastructure's free trial is permanent and more than powerful enough' a full specification list can be found here.
As well as this, they offer splitting your resources between multiple instances, which can be useful if you are intending on running Nine Yards split, allowing you to take advantage of server side rendering, to improve site performance and allowing for the front end and backend to be scaled seperately with minimal difficulty if needed.
