From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Story time! (YMMV as they say)
I decided I wanted to self host an app like this just a few weeks ago. I started with Focalboard but just could not get it running as a personal server instance on Docker. (This could entirely be on me as I am very much still learning) I got confused in the whole what's Mattermost / what's still part of Focalboard talk, and I wanted to use a Docker compost file but they don't have one on this page. I got an instance running anyway, but the site wasn't responding when I tried to load it in my browser. I've made this work now for about 8 other apps but just could not find the root cause with this one.
I ended up installing and loving Planka though. For my extremely simple use case, it's just right. The docker installation was dead simple and it 'just works' for me.
