Huly vs Plane

Self-host pick — both replace Linear (Issue tracker / project management).

Both Huly and Plane self-host as a replacement for Linear (Issue tracker / project management). Pick Plane if you want the lighter footprint — 20min docker-compose, $10 vps for a small team — postgres + redis + minio + the plane services in one stack. Pick Huly if you need teams who want issues + chat + docs + HR in one platform (Huly bundles them) — 30min docker-compose and $10 vps — wider stack (mongo + elastic + minio + rekoni).

Weak at:Doesn't yet match Linear's command-bar muscle memory.

In a terminal? npx -y github:SolvoHQ/os-alt-cli linear prints Linear's self-host options including both — how the CLI works →
