What is MantisBT?
MantisBT, also known as Mantis Bug Tracker, is a free and open source web-based issue tracking system written in PHP and released under the GNU General Public License. It is commonly used to track software defects but is flexible enough to serve as a general purpose issue tracker, with role-based access control, customizable workflows, full bug history tracking, and a plugin system for extending functionality.
Because MantisBT is open source, there is no license fee; teams self-host it on their own Linux, Windows, or macOS server running PHP with MySQL, MS SQL, or PostgreSQL. It supports an interface in around 50 languages and sends configurable email notifications, making it a long standing choice for technical teams that want full control over their bug tracker. Managed hosting is also offered by third parties as an alternative to self-hosting.
