Kan Hosting

1. Open your pod and choose Sign up to create the initial administrator account.
2. Create a workspace and a board, then add lists and cards for your workflow.
3. Invite workspace members if you are collaborating, or use the Trello importer to bring in an existing board.

PikaPods specifically identifies the first registered user as the initial admin. See the Kan documentation for board and workspace controls.

No. PikaPods sets up and runs Kan for you, including OS and app updates and HTTPS. You won't touch Docker or a server.

Kan is used through its web interface, so your team opens the pod URL in a browser. Board visibility controls let you choose who can view or edit a board; workspace membership alone does not make every board editable.

PikaPods provides the application database as part of the pod. Core boards and card collaboration do not require a third-party account. Trello imports use a Trello app API key and secret, so check that these are configured for your pod before importing. Optional SMTP and social-login integrations also depend on their respective providers.

You can use Kan instead of Trello and Asana. PikaPods runs it for you.

Both organize work on boards with lists, cards, labels and comments. Trello is a hosted product with a large catalog of integrations and apps. Kan is a newer, focused board app running on your pod, with templates and a detailed activity log. Its Trello importer needs API credentials, so test a board first.

No. You add prepaid credit and your pods are billed by the hour from that balance, rounded up to full hours. There are no contracts or minimum terms: delete a pod anytime and billing stops. Optional automatic top-ups keep your pods running without manual payments.
