OpenProject

OpenProject at a glance

OpenProject is a widely used open-source project-management and collaboration platform, common in teams that want a self-hosted alternative to hosted tools. OpenProject ships regular releases plus security fixes; as a web application holding project data and user accounts, hardening and timely updates matter.

For admins updates (packaged or Docker) run database migrations — back up the database and attachments first, and follow the documented upgrade path, since skipping major versions is not supported. OpenProject has had security advisories, so apply security releases promptly. Keep it off the open internet behind authentication and TLS, ideally with SSO and two-factor. After upgrading, verify login, projects and integrations. The underlying components (database, and any bundled services) should stay supported. Track the version and its support window; patchletter surfaces new OpenProject releases so security fixes aren't missed.
