Plane

App in the BluixApps catalog

What it is

Plane is an open-source project management platform — Issues, Cycles, Modules, Pages, and Views in a familiar Jira-style UX, with the speed and ergonomics of a modern web app. Born from frustration with Jira's bloat and Linear's closed-source nature, Plane targets engineering teams who want full control over their roadmap and data.

Self-hosted, multi-workspace, with Postgres + Redis + MinIO + nginx stack.

What it's for

  • Issue tracking — bugs, features, tasks with rich properties, sub-issues, dependencies
  • Sprint planning — Cycles (time-boxed) and Modules (workstream-bound) for execution
  • Roadmap views — kanban, calendar, gantt-lite, spreadsheet, list
  • Team pages — Notion-style docs linked to issues and projects
  • Multi-workspace — separate orgs / business units / clients per workspace

Who it's for

  • Engineering teams who outgrew Trello but reject Jira's complexity
  • Startups wanting Linear-class ergonomics without per-seat lock-in
  • Open-source projects running public roadmaps with contributors
  • Agencies managing multiple clients in isolated workspaces
  • Self-hosted shops with data-sovereignty requirements (EU/GDPR)

Why teams pick Plane over alternatives

  • Apache 2.0 — fully open, no enterprise feature gating
  • Linear-class UX — keyboard-first, fast, opinionated
  • Cycles + Modules — first-class sprint/workstream models
  • Pages — Notion-style docs linked to issues
  • Active development — weekly releases, responsive maintainers
  • Stack you already run — Postgres + Redis + MinIO, nothing exotic

Integrations

  • GitHub / GitLab — sync issues bidirectionally
  • Slack — notifications and issue creation
  • Webhooks — flexible outbound event piping
  • API — full REST API for automation
  • OIDC / SAML — SSO via reverse proxy (Authentik, Keycloak)
  • Email — SMTP for invites and notifications

Notable users & community

  • 30k+ GitHub stars
  • Growing self-hosted user base
  • Y Combinator backed (W23)
  • Active Discord with 5k+ members
  • Roadmap published in their own Plane instance (dogfood)

Tips & operations

  • First-run takes 2-3 min — wait for all services healthy before login
  • MinIO storage — uploads (attachments, avatars) go to MinIO; ensure persistent volume
  • Backups — postgres dump + MinIO objects; document RPO
  • Reverse proxy — terminate TLS upstream; set WEB_URL to HTTPS hostname
  • GitHub OAuth — easiest auth setup if your team already uses GitHub
  • Workspace limits — no hard limits on self-hosted; create as needed

What we ship in BluixApps

  • Docker engine pre-installed + ready
  • Plane's prime installer URL pre-cached, ready to run
  • Install report at /root/bluixapps/plane.txt with one-command setup
  • Reverse-proxy + HTTPS guidance for production

Note: Plane's upstream self-host moved to an interactive installer. We stage the environment but the operator runs curl -fsSL https://prime.plane.so/install.sh | bash to complete setup — this is Plane's officially supported path. Auto-install via raw compose broke when they reorganized their repo around the prime installer.
