Kanban board for Linux

Whats your fav kanban board for linux (and android)?

I know of planka, obsidian and nextcloud deck. What's your favorite tool?

I know not an ideal solution but after trying lots of foss applications, we decided to make our own solution. Other than that Nextcloud Deck is more than enough for most use cases
- Did your solution stay internal, or has it been shared? Be keen to see.
  
  It's turned into a bigger project but it's internal use only, sorry
nextcloud deck, integrates well with other tools, can attach files, notes easily and has an awesome mobile app.
- If only I could manage to get Nextcloud running on my Docker server.
  
  I have tried many times but always fail. It's infuriating because I am running 20+ other things without problems. Why is NC so hard??
  
  @PlutoniumAcid have you tried their AIO package? it is much easier and has better instructions.
I only have experience with nextcloud deck. It generally works. The permissions for other users are not very intuitive. I had problems with embedding pictures.

The android app has room for a lot of improvement. Especially regarding support for markdown.

are some alternatives too.
I love Todoist and use it every day, but that may not be the use case you had in mind.
I'm still stuck on Notion. I keep looking for OSS alternatives but nothing I've tried has all the features I want.
- Check out Anytype! It is a local-first cross-platform app with Notion-like features, and it has a Kanban view. It is SUPER customisable, I have set it up with a PARA workflow that fits my needs.
  
  I actually very recently tried it. I'm sure it's great but something about the UI or maybe general paradigm switch versus apps like Notion really confused me. It looks great though, so I'm sure I'll give it another go sometime when I have a bit more time to really learn it. Nonetheless, I appreciate the recommendation!
I’ve had success with Focalboard and noticed nobody is using it here! Should I look at alternatives?
Microsoft Planner. It integrates well with thr rest of the M365 suite, and work pays for it, so whatever.
We are currently using Vikunja, I got rid of planka because it was giving way too much trouble considering the amount of features it doesn't have.
