Devlane

Issue tracking and project management for development teams.

Devlane helps you organize work in workspaces and projects: track issues, assign owners, group work into cycles and modules, and keep everything in sync with a clear activity feed and rich comments.

Installation

You can run Devlane in two ways:

Self-hosted — Run the API and UI on your own infrastructure. You need PostgreSQL, Redis, and optionally RabbitMQ and MinIO (see the API and UI READMEs for environment variables and setup).
From source — Clone the repo and run the API and UI for local development or your own deployment.

| Method | Notes | | ------------- | ----- | | Docker | Use the API and UI Dockerfiles (or compose) with the required env and database migrations. | | From source | See Local development below. |

Instance administrators can manage workspaces and instance settings from the instance-admin area after initial setup.

Features

Issues (work items) — Create and manage issues with description, state, priority, assignees, labels, and parent/child links. Sub-issues and a properties sidebar keep context in one place.
Cycles — Group issues into time-boxed cycles and track progress.
Modules — Break projects into modules for clearer scope and status.
Views — Filter and save views so you can focus on the right issues.
Activity and comments — Each issue has an activity feed. Add and edit comments with a rich text editor (bold, lists, code blocks). Edit and delete comments with relative timestamps.
Pages — Lightweight docs and notes linked to your workspace.
Analytics — Overview and work-item analytics to see progress and trends.
Workspace settings — Manage members (with display names), projects, and workspace-level configuration.

Local development

API — From the api directory, copy .env.example to .env, set your PostgreSQL and Redis (and optional RabbitMQ/MinIO) settings, run migrations, then start the server (see api/README.md).
UI — From the ui directory, run npm install and npm run dev. Point the UI at your local API using the configured base URL.
First run — Complete instance setup in the browser (create admin account, then create a workspace and project).

For contribution workflow and code style, see CONTRIBUTING if present.

Built with

Documentation

API — See api/README.md for setup, env vars, and running the server.
UI — See ui/README.md for front-end setup and scripts.
