wekan
When atlassian acquired trello, I exported some of my boards to see if wekan could import them - to my surprise, it could (at least for the kinds of features I used).
+1 for vikunja, used that in college for managing all my assignments and use it now for managing my side projects and family events!
We recently moved away from Trello and settled on GitLab. Might sound a weird decision at first glance, but you can just create an empty repo, create issues instead of cards and visualize them in den "Boards" view.
Key drivers for doing so were that we rely heavily on GitLab already, and that we wanted a trustworthy solution in terms of data privacy. But I guess you'd have a bit of a hard time selling this to an audience that has no experience with GitLab, so decide for yourself if its viable in your case
Vikunja is one option. Selfhosted, open source and Trello-like.
There is also nextcloud deck. It's minimal but enough. Kanboard is also an alternative and there is another one but i forgot its name.
Kanboard
Planka looks very promising too
I've been using planka and have been quite happy with my experiences for the last couple of months.
I am installing Planka right now to try it out, after an hour of failing to get Focalboard to run locally. Glad to hear it should work well.
Give Focalboard a try
I've had bad experience with FocalBoard. Several times it lost data for no apparent reason, including during updates. Eventually I decided to stop using it because it was too fragile.
Youtrack is nice and can be self hosted but costs money beyond 10 users.
I really like wekan for this. It's straightforward. Gets updates. And is flexible in terms of adding new fields to cards etc.
