What a business may do with it
Network copyleftAGPL-3.0
Like the GPL, and offering a modified version to users over a network counts: they are owed its source.
This describes the licence family GitHub identified, not legal advice about this project. The repository’s own LICENSE file is what binds you.
Run it yourself
Docker, quoted from LeanTime’s own README as written. We have not run it, and most projects expect you to set secrets or a database before production use.
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped -p 8080:8080 --network leantime-net \ -e LEAN_DB_HOST=mysql_leantime \ -e LEAN_DB_USER=admin \ -e LEAN_DB_PASSWORD=321.qwerty \ -e LEAN_DB_DATABASE=leantime \ -e LEAN_EMAIL_RETURN=changeme@local.local \ --name leantime leantime/leantime:latest
