Self-host Kaneo - Kaneo

Kaneo runs as one application container plus PostgreSQL. You can add file storage and email when you need them. Redis is only needed when multiple API instances must share live updates.

Choose your setup

Setup	Choose this when…
Docker Compose	You want to see and control the configuration. Start here for a local trial or an existing server.
drim	You want a CLI to generate the deployment and set up Caddy for HTTPS.
Coolify	You already deploy applications through Coolify.
Railway	You want a hosted deployment without managing a server.
Helm	You already operate a Kubernetes cluster.

For a small installation, plan for at least 2 GB of memory and 10 GB of free disk as a starting point. Leave additional space for database growth, uploaded files, and backups. Compose deployments need Docker and Docker Compose V2.

What runs where

PostgreSQL stores accounts, projects, tasks, comments, and upload records. File contents live in your configured object storage. Account avatars are stored in PostgreSQL.

Before inviting your team

Put the instance behind HTTPS.
Create the initial administrator account before opening registration to others.
Configure email and access settings.
Add Silo file storage if your team needs attachments.
Make a backup and test a restore.

Then follow Your first project.
