[bug]: VERY BAD SELF HOSTING EXPERIENCE #8708

Description

@jzakirov

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

Anyone trying to self-host Plane should be prepared for a lot of painful debugging. I never saw such a badly designed application - 7+ containers, no clear boundaries, almost 200 lines of ENV variables.

And the recent minor upgrade broke the user file permissions (2.3.3 worked, 2.3.7 is broken). Even "aio" version is buggy (you using volume mount with single ' quote instead of double " quotes which are parsed incorrectly).

Please fix the installing process first (it's literally can be done with Claude Code in ~3-4 hours) instead of pilling new features

Also you self-hosted deployment contains incorrect URL in the FIRST button presented to user. It tries to redirect to https://domain.example.com/god-mode (no trailing / ) and this just stuck forever without any warning. Guess how many users were lost on this step?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Try to install Plane (Commercial or Community)
  2. Suffer
