MantisBT is an open-source, self-hosted web-based bug tracker and issue management system written in PHP. It offers per-project role-based access control, email notifications, customizable workflows and fields, a REST/SOAP API, and ships in 50 languages.

Use cases

• track bugs and issues for software projects
• self-host an issue tracker for my team
• manage client-reported issues with role-based access
• collaborate with teammates on project tasks
• set up a simple bug tracking system with email notifications
• integrate issue tracking via a REST API

When to choose

• you want a mature, self-hosted issue tracker that is simple to deploy on a standard PHP/MySQL stack
• you need per-project access control and customizable workflows without heavy configuration
• your team or clients prefer a lightweight alternative to Jira or GitLab issues

When to avoid

• you need a modern single-page UI or deep git/CI integration out of the box
• you are not able to run and maintain a PHP web server and database
• you want an issue tracker natively embedded in your code hosting platform
