Teambox offers a legacy version of our popular collaboration solution in open-source.

Our modern interface, with Box and Dropbox integrations, Gantt charting and more, is available in both hosted and On-Premise versions at www.teambox.com.

Should I install a legacy version for myself or use the modern versions?

The easiest way to experience Teambox is through our our hosted version. We have a free plan with up to five projects, and premium plans start at $5 per user per month. Our updated On-Premise version has many additional features, bug fixes and is super-simple to install on standard VMs.

You should only consider installing the open-source version of Teambox if you’d like to learn how it works and change its functionality. Technical knowledge is required to run Teambox open-source. Recurring user maintenance and backups are recommended to keep your instance safe and up-to-date.

Using our hosted version at teambox.com means we take care of everything –security, features, support– so you can focus on getting stuff done.

What are the absolute minimum requirements for Teambox open-source?

Git and Ruby (with RubyGems) must be installed on your local machine. This is the minimum to get the code and push it somewhere else.

Full prerequisites for running the app on a single machine are described in Installing locally.

What are the recommended installation options?

The easiest installation is on the Heroku platform documented in Installing on Heroku. Heroku is a fully-managed Ruby platform that’s easy to use and offers a free basic plan for low-level usage.

Other installation options require basic knowledge of git, Ruby and server administration.

If you plan to deploy on or already own a Unix-like server, the Installing on Ubuntu guide will be of help. It describes setting up a Ruby/MySQL/Apache2/Passenger stack.
