Flyspray vs Trac

Flyspray is a free, self-hosted web bug tracker written in PHP for software development and project management. It runs on Linux and web servers and is released under the LGPL 2.1 licence. Multiple projects, task histories, comments, file attachments, voting, dependency graphs, roadmaps and task search support day-to-day issue work. Users can watch tasks and receive changes by email, XMPP or on the page. Global and project-specific roles and permissions provide customizable access control. Atom and RSS feeds, task filters and CSV export extend task handling. Optional OAuth2 single sign-on can use providers such as Facebook and Google. Flyspray 1.0 or later requires web-server software, PHP 5.6 through PHP 8.3, PHP-GD and a database such as MySQL or PostgreSQL; MariaDB is listed as a compatible variation, and Apache is officially supported. The latest listed release is 1.0-rc11, dated 29 January 2024. Development downloads may contain bugs and unintended side effects and are not recommended for production.

Trac is a free, self-hosted system for software development projects that combines issue tracking with a wiki. It takes a minimal approach to web-based project management. The wiki markup works not only in wiki pages but also in ticket descriptions and comments, version-control log messages, milestone descriptions and reports. It can link bugs, tasks, changesets, files and wiki pages. Trac provides an interface to Subversion, Git and other version control systems. Its timeline orders current and past project events chronologically, while its roadmap lists upcoming milestones. Plugins are listed among the resources for extending or customizing a setup, and custom workflows and workflow automation are available. Trac is deployed as a Python web application through WSGI and a web server such as Apache; authentication can be configured through web-server mechanisms including Basic and Digest. The project homepage identifies version 1.6 as the latest stable release. Listed platforms are Linux, macOS, Windows, web and self-hosted. The free plan costs nothing.
