Update on Vikunja

In August, I posted about my problems running Vikunja via Docker.

Based on the above video, however, there seems to be no more requirement in a Docker install of Vikunja for a separate API container?

Is this a sign I should start using Vikunja now? Let’s see. As soon as I get the time.

The Docker Compose File

The docker-compose file below (grabbed from here) involves using Traefik as the reverse proxy, but I should be able to customize for my use case, as I’m using NPM.
