Summary

  • Bump Vikunja from 0.24 to 2.3 (major version upgrade to the v2.x rewrite)
  • Switch database from MariaDB to PostgreSQL 18 (now recommended by Vikunja upstream)
  • Update JWT secret env var from VIKUNJA_SERVICE_JWTSECRET to VIKUNJA_SERVICE_SECRET (breaking change in v2.x)
  • Add registration toggle (VIKUNJA_SERVICE_ENABLEREGISTRATION)
  • Remove week start setting (now configurable in the Vikunja UI)
  • Remove MariaDB root password variable (not needed with PostgreSQL)

First of all, thank you for your contribution! 😄

Please note that this repo is mostly for popular apps with thousands of stars and tens of thousands of downloads. If you'd like to add a less popular app, you can always create your own 3rd party repo and add your app there.

☑️ Self Check before Merge

  • I have tested the template using the method described in README.md thoroughly
  • I have ensured that I put as much default values as possible (except passwords) to ensure minimum effort required for end users to get started.
  • I have ensured that I am not using the "latest" tag as this tag is dynamically changing and might break the one-click app. Use a fixed version.
  • I have made sure that instructions.start and instructions.end are clear and self-explanatory.
  • Icon is added as a png file to the logos directory.
  • I've executed the checks if necessary by running npm ci && npm run validate_apps && npm run formatter (If failling run the prettier: npm run formatter-write)
  • I will take responsibility addressing any issues that arises as a result of this PR (maintaining this app).

- Bump Vikunja from 0.24 to 2.3 (major version upgrade)
- Switch database from MariaDB to PostgreSQL 18 (recommended upstream)
- Update JWT secret env var from VIKUNJA_SERVICE_JWTSECRET to VIKUNJA_SERVICE_SECRET (v2.x change)
- Add registration toggle (VIKUNJA_SERVICE_ENABLEREGISTRATION)
- Remove week start setting (now configurable in the UI)
- Remove MariaDB root password (not needed with PostgreSQL)
PostgreSQL 18+ requires the mount at /var/lib/postgresql (not /data)
so it can create its own data subdirectory and support pg_upgrade --link.
