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.
