Any good alternatives to Jira, locally hosted without a huge licence cost?

Leantime, Plane, Wekan come to mind.

Jira is absolutely huge, so it's hard to tell what parts of it you're interested in.

I haven‘t used it myself, though

Bugzilla. Seriously.

Can be easily extended and unneeded fields can be disabled via template.

We use it since 20 years at a 6000 heads company and it's totally fine.

You can try Ekso:

Fully self-hosted, dockerized.

We made the pricing reasonable -- YMMV.

Honestly the best issue tracker I've used so far is Phabricator (now Phorge). It would be a bit weird to use it just for issues though, and tbh I'm not sure I would recommend it as a forge because it has approximately no CI support.

Redmine, maybe? With or without Redmine X.
