Trac is stable software ready for you and your team to use to find and fix bugs:

Trac has excellent documentation, both for users and administrators. It's built with well-understood software – relational databases and Python, and it's got localization ("L10n")  built in.

Running Trac

While Trac isn't necessarily docker friendly, the deployment instructions are easy to follow, and result in a command that's fairly straight forward:

$ tracd --port 8000 /path/to/myproject

While there are some docker images in DockerHub, there's no official trac docker image. The most recent one seems to be ~2 years old:

Docker

Updating the Dockerfile for that project might be the best way to get started with trac.
