Traq
Open-source PHP project manager and issue tracker

Traq is a web-based project management and issue tracking system built with PHP and a TypeScript frontend. It provides multi-project issue tracking, milestones/sprints, granular permissions, and an integrated Markdown wiki for team documentation.
Key Features
- Multi-project issue tracking with support for multiple milestones and sprints
- Granular per-project permissions and role-based access controls (RBAC)
- Custom fields for tickets, features, and tasks to capture project-specific data
- Built-in Markdown-powered wiki for internal documentation
- Extensible via a REST API and plugin system for integrations and automation
- Web UI built with TypeScript/JavaScript and server-side PHP backend
- Uses MariaDB/MySQL as the data store and supports typical PHP hosting setups
- Development and build tooling uses Composer and Node.js-based package tooling
Use Cases
- Self-hosted issue tracker and project management for small to medium development teams
- Organizing work into milestones or sprints and tracking progress across multiple projects
- Centralized internal documentation using the integrated Markdown wiki
Limitations and Considerations
- Requires PHP 8.3+ and a MariaDB/MySQL database; webserver should support rewriting (Apache mod_rewrite recommended)
- Installation expects a typical LAMP-style environment and uses Composer and Node.js tooling for building the UI
Traq is suitable for teams that want a lightweight, self-hosted project management and issue-tracking platform with built-in documentation and extensibility. It focuses on core issue tracking and project features and is configurable through custom fields and plugins.
