#### Open-source, self-hosted project and issue tracking

Hinata is the desktop client for a self-hosted Hinata server: projects and
teams, an issue hierarchy from epic down to sub-task, agile boards, sprints,
a Gantt timeline, timesheets, reports, a knowledge base and threaded comments
with reactions and voice notes. Nothing is hosted for you — on first start
the app asks for your server URL, and it keeps as many servers side by side
as you like, each with its own tokens.

Two of its permissions do not connect themselves, because snapd wants you to
grant them deliberately:

```
 snap connect hinata:password-manager-service
 snap connect hinata:audio-record
```

Without the first, signing in works but the session only lasts until you quit
and the next start asks for your password again. Without the second, the
sound server refuses the microphone and a voice comment records nothing.

Some capabilities differ from the other desktops. Push notifications are not
available — Firebase has no Linux client, so notifications arrive by e-mail
and in the app's own notification centre. Capturing a photo or video from a
webcam is not offered; existing files attach as usual. Downloaded
attachments land in your ~/Downloads folder, the same place every other
packaging of this app puts them.

The interface is available in English and German.

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Hinata

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
