OpenProject runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 791 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 29 Oct 2026.
91 tools for the OpenProject API v3, with read-only, admin-gate, profile and per-group switches.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check OpenProject every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
