Plane

Issue, sprint, and roadmap management, suitable as a Linear or Jira alternative for small teams.

Review notes

It runs more services than small apps, so check VPS resources and schedule database backups.

Deployment guide

Plane runs multiple services, so use the official Docker Compose setup and at least 4 GB RAM.

Clone the repo or download the official self-hosted bundle.
Configure `.env` for domain, secrets, database, Redis, and object storage if used.
Run migrations/setup from the docs before inviting users.
Put HTTPS reverse proxy in front of the web and API services.
Create a workspace and verify email/invite flows if enabled.

Backup:Back up PostgreSQL, Redis if queue state matters, and object storage attachments.

Copy and run on your server

Use each block separately: save the compose file, or copy the bash script to create it and start the container.
