Question: tl;dr: looking for an open source bug tracking tool, or one that's affordable for small freelancers.

I'm working as freelancer with a client on a project and currently all the bugreporting/feature request/information/discussions/and other stuff happen by Telegram (not my first choice but hey, you know clients).

It happend twice, that I forgot about the specs of a feature we discussed briefly, because there was to much going on and I wasn't able to find it. So the next logical step would be to get a bugtracker.

So far my favorite would be http://www.redmine.org/
Does any one of you have good or bad expirience with it? Would you recommend something else, if so what and why? Other stuff I should consider?

    Looks nice, although it seams to lack one feature I'd like to have, the abillity to create new issues by sending an Email. You know how clients are...
    https://bugs.flyspray.org/task/961

    Unfortunately I haven't found anything about that future apart from that discussion which concluded on not implementing it.

    @AndSoWeCode can you confirm, that it doesn't support email creation of bugs/issues?

    @Wack I don't know. I used it for a short while only, and quickly migrated to Jira

    Only bug tracker I’ve used with email support is Jira, unless you use GitHub/GitLab issues alongside the repo.

    @C0D4 @AndSoWeCode I've also only worked with JIRA suporting the Email stuff.

    Just checked and they offer self hosted for up to 10users for just $10 (sure it's to get small teams to get fixed with jira and then pay when they grow, but still seams nice!)

    If you need something very advanced, Bugzilla is good
