What Does This Vikunja Tutorial Cover?
The original IceWhale Community post was published in January 2024 as a short, video-led tutorial for installing Vikunja on CasaOS through the BigBearCasaOS community app store. Vikunja is a self-hosted task and project management application, and the tutorial avoids building its container configuration from scratch.
Because this is a historical CasaOS tutorial, do not assume screenshots, package versions, or interface labels from 2024 are unchanged. The useful workflow is to add BigBearCasaOS, locate Vikunja, review its configuration, and then install it through CasaOS.
Is Vikunja Still Available in BigBearCasaOS?
Yes. The current BigBearCasaOS repository still lists Vikunja packages. BigBearCasaOS is independently maintained by BigBearTechWorld and the BigBearCommunity, so package definitions and versions can change separately from CasaOS.
Review the current BigBearCasaOS app store repository before installing. Its app-store source is https://github.com/bigbeartechworld/big-bear-casaos/archive/refs/heads/master.zip.
How Do You Add BigBearCasaOS?
- Open the CasaOS App Store interface.
- Open the option for managing or adding an app-store source.
- Add the current BigBearCasaOS ZIP source.
- Wait for the catalog to refresh, then search for Vikunja.
- Review ports, storage paths, environment variables, and the current image before installing.
The current BigBearCasaOS repository notes that custom app-store support requires CasaOS 0.4.4 or later. Interface wording may differ on newer builds.
What Should You Check Before Installing Vikunja?
- Confirm you are choosing the current Vikunja package.
- Review persistent storage paths so projects, accounts, and attachments survive container recreation.
- Check the web port for conflicts.
- Review any database and environment settings exposed by the package.
- Back up existing Vikunja data before replacing or upgrading an older deployment.
