Does anyone know of a good self-hosted Kanban board and/or project management software that works as similar to Jira as possible?

I know my question is going to make someone mad, but I just don't want to switch context way too much when managing my personal projects.

Something similar to Trello is also acceptable.

I currently use Kanboard, but the interface is way too limited. I understand their choices, but I would like something more rich/responsive/automated.

All my experiences with self hosted project management software is they all suck.

For all the hate Jira gets, I think it's entirely unjustified and probably comes from unskilled Jira administrators. Jira is kind of a Project Management operating system, and it's hard to make it as flexible and reliable.

I've tried Redmine and the GitLab open source version but they really aren't very good.

Even though I agree with most of what you said, I'm not paying Jira for personal projects. So I'll do some research and choose the "least bad" option. 😄

I'll take a look at Redmine. Thanks.

@badnetmask that's fair. Jira has a free tier but if you want to self-host,I don't know anything better than Redmine. But Redmine is really bad, it's tragic.
@ulveon
Well, I've got lots of other suggestions. I'm sure I'll find something good enough.
@badnetmask do keep us updated with your findings!
