Requirements

Required: At least Daily Backups of WeKan MongoDB database with mongodump, and settings. Upcoming: Minio and SQLite. Bugs, updates, users deleting list or card, harddrive full, harddrive crash etc can eat your data. There is no undo yet. Only newest WeKan is supported. Please report all new bugs immediately. Sandstorm WeKan is rarely affected by any Standalone WeKan security issues. If you use Standalone WeKan on public Internet, it's better use Snap x64 automatic updates and restore from backup when needed, than to leave old vulnerable manually updated WeKan running.
