What Hacker News says
22 sourcesThat's a very odd thing to bring up in the context of self-hosting, since you would not interact with their .so domain whatsoever; ensure that the AGPLv3 aligns with your needs, git clone -b v0.27.1 https://github.com/makeplane/plane.git and be happy
In We built an air-gapped Jira alternative for regulated industriesIf you want air-gapped it's on Business tier, please look at our pricing page.
That being said, we don't recommend the air-gapped version for personal use. Instead, you can use our open-source Community Edition here: https://github.com/makeplane/plane — you can self-host it and disable telemetry entirely.
In We built an air-gapped Jira alternative for regulated industriesI think I found Plane[1], but Eigenboard?

1 points · Open discussionhttps://github.com/makeplane/plane this is a fairly big project done in django + next.
In Is creating a Django backed reactjs (like nextjs but use django) a bad idea?We’ve been using Plane CE and are really happy with it. For those who need a serious project management tool, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try. Huly looks interesting-might explore it in the future. I did try self-hosting, but the experience wasn’t great.

In Tillywork: Open-Source Work ManagementHi HN,
Vihar here, one of the maintainers at Plane (https://github.com/makeplane/plane).
Last time, we shared how we reached 15K stars on GitHub in less than a year, pushing Plane to the top spot in #project-management. The post received great feedback from the HN community, and we noticed comments about lapses in self-hosting.
We took on the challenge, rethought the entire Docker setup, made it single-click, and provided a maintenance script.
Now, we share our journey to over 100K+ Docker pulls and 44K+ K8 deploys in this blog. Please let us know what we could improve.
Hope you enjoy the article. Feedback welcome!
Thanks,
In Plane, open-source Jira alternative, got to 100K+ Docker and 44K+ K8s deploysIs it even really open source? Looked more like open core earlier: https://github.com/makeplane/plane/issues/1171
In Plane got to top spot in project management on GitHub in less than a year> “But what are GitHub stars?”
This is weird. It’s almost as if this is a sales pitch to non-technical management who gets to make the executive decision on what issue tracker to use.
That’s almost antithetical to “by engineers, for engineers”
If this project is driven by commercial interests, then the open-source spirit, if any, isn’t genuine and won’t stick around once VCs want the bait-and-switch.
Edit: the blog post goes at length to discuss growth hacking and “engagement”. The reason Jira is the mess it is is because they tried to accommodate the feature request of every paying customer
Edit 2: seems they are logging telemetry by default https://github.com/makeplane/plane/issues/1694
Edit 3: it’s possible this engagement story is to impress VC / funding first, paying customers second

bout plagiarizing Linear in a different light, now that I’m cynical about the ethics and honesty of this project. All the non trivial contributors are exclusively from a country known for Infosys, clickfarms for social media engagement, gamifying the interview/recruitment funnel (see Grace Hopper convention). If this was a truly global crowd source effort as the GitHub stars would make you believe, you’d expect to see more geographical diversity. There’s a point where GitHub stars isn’t just a weak signal, but a negative one
