A Trello-like kanban board built with React and Redux.
Client demo (without server features).
There are 2 types of installation: 1. Dockerized 2. Without Docker
docker-compose.yml
based on the example. This is the ONLY file you will need. You can create this file on your own machine by copy and pasting the content.BASE_URL
to match your domain name or IP address.SECRET_KEY
with random value. You can generate it by openssl rand -hex 64
.Download the docker-compose.yml:
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plankanban/planka/master/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
Pull images and start services:
docker-compose up -d
Demo user: demo@demo.demo demo
Installing without Docker is a bit more complicated, here's what you need to do:
/var/www/planka
)mkdir -p /var/www/planka
cd /var/www/planka
git clone https://github.com/plankanban/planka.git .
npm install
npm run client:build
Note: You can use yarn
or pnpm
instead of npm
.
client/build
directory to the server.cp -r client/build/. server/public
cp client/build/index.html server/views/index.ejs
server
directory.cp start.sh server
cd server
cp .env.sample .env
# Edit .env file (You could use nano, vim, etc.)
nano .env
Note: Before continuing, make sure you have your selected database created and running.
./start.sh
Note: You can use pm2
or systemd
to run the server in the background.
Here is an example of Nginx configuration for Planka, make sure to replace <domain>
with your domain name, and make sure to configure the SSL.
upstream planka {
server localhost:1337;
keepalive 32;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name <domain>;
access_log /var/log/nginx/planka-access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/planka-error.log error;

Planka currently allows you to expose the application's logfile directory to the host machine via a shared volume. This feature is not enabled by default.
To expose the logfile director to the host machine, add the item ./logs/:/app/logs/
under services.planka.volumes
.
Note that the directory to the left of the semicolon is regarding the host machine while the directory to the right of the semicolon is regarding the Docker container.
For example, in the above step, ./logs/:/app/logs/
will create the folder logs
in the same directory where the docker-compose.yml
file lives.
Logrotate is designed to ease administration of systems that generate large numbers of log files. It allows automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing of log files. Each log file may be handled daily, weekly, monthly, or when it grows too large.
Create a file in /etc/logrotate.d
named planka
with the following contents:
/path/to/planka/logs/planka.log {
daily
missingok
rotate 14
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
create 640 root adm
sharedscripts
}
Ensure to replace logfile directory with your installation’s /logs/planka.log
location.
Restart the logrotate service.
Fail2ban is a service that uses iptables to automatically drop connections for a pre-defined amount of time from IPs that continuously failed to authenticate to the configured services.
A filter defines regex rules to identify when users fail to authenticate on Planka's user interface.
Create a file in /etc/fail2ban/filter.d
named planka.conf
with the following contents:
[Definition]
failregex = ^(.*) Invalid (email or username:|password!) (\"(.*)\"!)? ?\(IP: <ADDR>\)$
ignoreregex =
The jail file defines how to handle the failed authentication attempts found by the Planka filter.
Create a file in /etc/fail2ban/jail.d
named planka.local
with the following contents:
[planka]
enabled = true
port = http,https
filter = planka
logpath = /path/to/planka/logs/planka.log
maxretry = 5
bantime = 900
Ensure to replace logpath
's value with your installation’s /logs/planka.log
location. If you are using ports other than 80 and 443 for your Web server you should replace those too. The bantime and findtime are defined in seconds.
Restart the fail2ban service. You can check the status of your Planka jail by running:
fail2ban-client status planka
It's already available in Planka, or you can also use the great tool trello2planka to do the import.
Planka comes with two scripts that allow for manual backup and restore when running Planka with docker-compose.yml.
Backups can be triggered with docker-backup.sh
which will export the Database, User Avatars, Project Backgrounds and Attachments into a single tgz file.
$ ./docker-backup.sh
Exporting postgres database ... Success!
Exporting user-avatars ... Success!
Exporting project-background-images ... Success!
Exporting attachments ... Success!
Creating final tarball 2023-01-17T15-37-22Z-backup.tgz ... Success!
Cleaning up temporary files and folders ... Success!
Backup Complete!
The resulting backup can be restored using the docker-restore.sh
script.
$ ./docker-restore.sh 2023-01-17T15-37-22Z-backup.tgz
Extracting tarball 2023-01-17T11-10-54Z-backup.tgz ... Success!
Importing postgres database ...

...
Success!
Importing user-avatars ... Success!
Importing project-background-images ... Success!
Importing attachments ... Success!
Cleaning up temporary files and folders ... Success!
Restore complete!
Clone the repository and install dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/plankanban/planka.git
cd planka
npm install
Either use a local database or start the provided development database:
docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up
Create server/.env
based on server/.env.sample
and edit DATABASE_URL
if needed, then initialize the database:
npm run server:db:init
Start the development server:
npm start
