MantisBT Powered by GlobalSolutions

MantisBT is an open-source bug tracking system commonly used to track software defects while developing and releasing products. We have made it easy for the user to start using the features of the product rather than spending time installing and configuring it.

We have made this production ready and bundled it with all the components required to run this application. We have ensured the image is hardened to be secured from all existing vulnerabilities.
