Deploy and Host Plane on Railway

Plane is an open-source project and product management tool — a self-hosted alternative to Jira and Linear covering issues, cycles, modules, and roadmaps. This template deploys the community all-in-one image, pinned by digest to v1.4.1, as five preconfigured services with your admin account seeded on first boot.

About Hosting Plane

This template runs Plane's all-in-one community image (web, API, background workers, and realtime server under one process) alongside Postgres, Redis, RabbitMQ, and MinIO for object storage. Every stateful service carries its own volume, so your issues, uploads, and job queue survive redeploys. The wrapper seeds an instance admin from ADMIN_EMAIL / ADMIN_PASSWORD before the public port opens and re-applies the password on every boot — so a redeploy is a working password reset. Public signup is disabled and telemetry is off by default. The admin console lives at /god-mode.

Why Deploy Plane on Railway?

Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying Plane on Railway, you are one step closer to supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.

Admin isn't claimable by strangers — stock Plane deploys expose an unauthenticated admin sign-up endpoint that the first visitor can claim, locking the deployer out permanently. This template seeds your admin before the port opens.
Nothing lost on redeploy — Postgres, Redis, RabbitMQ, and MinIO each persist to a volume.
Pinned by digest — v1.4.1, not a moving latest tag on an app that migrates its schema forward on boot.
Zero blank required fields — the deploy form asks for nothing; secrets are generated per deploy.

Common Use Cases

Engineering issue tracking — sprints, cycles, and modules for a self-hosted Jira/Linear replacement.
Product roadmaps — plan and share roadmaps without a per-seat SaaS bill.
Team task management — a private, self-owned workspace for any team.

Implementation Details

After deploy, open your domain, sign in with the generated ADMIN_PASSWORD (find it in the app service's variables), and manage the instance at /god-mode. Object uploads are stored in MinIO; presigned URLs are signed against the public domain so they resolve from the browser.
