Taiga¶
Description¶
Taiga is a powerful and intuitive open-source project management platform tailored for agile teams. Whether you’re practicing Scrum, Kanban, or a custom hybrid workflow, Taiga offers a rich, customizable environment to plan, track, and collaborate on your projects — without the complexity of enterprise tools or the vendor lock-in of SaaS platforms.
This Ansible role deploys Taiga in a Docker-based environment, allowing fast, reproducible, and secure installations. It also optionally integrates OpenID Connect (OIDC) for single sign-on via providers like Keycloak.
