Looking for some ticketing/bugtrackng software

[szatox]

I'm looking for something I could use to conveniently track several personal projects, so more ticketing than bugtracking.
Jira looks pretty nice (and I've been using it for a while at work), but it's also bloated and I'm unlikely to setup my own, private instance.

I have tried at least bugzilla, mantis, and redmine, and they are all on the clunky side of things. I suppose I could make a better one, but - of course - it would be nice to track my progress in the meantime, and once I have this, there is no reason to roll my own

I want to:
create tickets in a few unrelated areas/projects
change/track their statuses
add comments
have some search options


Now, technically all those things can be done in a spreadsheet, but already know I'd never touch that abomination again after creating the initial draft.

Any suggestions?

And use directly github or gitlab?

If you mean integration between the ticketing system and the git repository, I don't really care about it. I can write a comment when I have something important enough to remember.
I just want the basic things to actually work, and work smoothly.

E.g. some of those ticketing systems required like 5 clicks to do a simple status change. In jira It usually takes 1 button.
4 clicks may seem insignificant, but those numbers add up to the frustration really fast, and I want this thing to assist me rather than punish me. I'm a good boi, k?

You don't have to use the git part, you can also create a non-code project where you only open issues.
Moreover you can also use command line tools so you don't have to do any clicking (e.g. github-cli).

Ah... you meant using github or gitlab for their bugtracking system.
Well, that's something I didn't think about. I know gitlab is reasonably easy to self-host, though it's definitely on the heavy end in terms of resource requirements. I'll check it out.

Any other options?


Oh, one more thing that would be really nice to have: custom workflows. IMO it's still pretty basic feature though.

We use Redmine at work and I find it rather nice
