Kaneo starts from the opposite assumption: most teams need a Kanban board and a link to their code repository. Self-hosting puts you back in control — your tasks in a PostgreSQL database on your own VPS, exportable as SQL at any time, with no premium plan needed for webhooks or unlimited history.",{"type":39,"title":40,"items":41},"ul","What you get with self-hosted Kaneo",[42,43,44,45,46,47,48],"Drag-and-drop Kanban boards — create columns, add tasks and track progress at a glance.","GitHub Milestones sync — connect your GitHub App to automatically mirror milestones as projects and issues as tasks.","Webhook destinations — trigger outbound HTTP calls on every task state change to notify Slack or your CI.","MIT licence — no commercial restrictions, free to fork and adapt.","Just two containers — Node.js app and PostgreSQL 16, total memory footprint under 400 MB.","SMTP-free login — email and password by default, no verification link step.","Multi-workspace support — isolate projects by client or team in separate workspaces.",{"type":35,"title":50,"body":51},"Prerequisites","A ServOrbit VPS with Ubuntu 24.04 and at least 1 GB of RAM is sufficient for a small team. Kaneo is lightweight: the Hono (Node.js) API and the Vue.js SPA together consume under 200 MB at idle; PostgreSQL 16 adds around 300 MB. Docker and Docker Compose are provisioned automatically by AWX on deployment. No domain name is required — Kaneo works behind the URL assigned by ServOrbit — but a dedicated subdomain (e.g. `projects.yourcompany.com`) simplifies sharing.",{"type":53,"title":54,"steps":55},"steps","Deploy Kaneo on your VPS",[56,59,62,65,68],{"title":57,"body":58},"One-click deployment from the ServOrbit Marketplace","Go to Marketplace → Collaboration & Productivity → Kaneo in your ServOrbit control panel and click Deploy.
