The one liner is great to have. I love that homebrew does that. For a project that you host, to be able to install it super fast and just get on with it is a huge plus.

However I chose not run this because it's a compiled binary and the source is nowhere to be seen. I choose not to trust a binary that I found on a forum from the internets. :)

I'm much more likely to try something like Wekan and evaluate it seriously just because I know that me and my team can build whatever features we need and we can trust the code because we can read it.

So does the business model work in the environment you're in? Eg giving the source to people who pay for it? Maybe it would be better to do something like eg nginx or cassandra or gitlab - have an OSS version and some premium version or at least some support contract with gold support or similar. It's a tough space to be fighting in with mature products and free products. How can you separate yourself from these other guys in a way that will still make you money? If it's just a self hosted trello alternative, that space may already be cloudy with Wekan. You need some differentiating quality to sit beside trello and wekan I think.
