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

- Active Discord with 5k+ members

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
primeinstaller URL pre-cached, ready to run - Install report at
/root/bluixapps/plane.txtwith 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.
