on the client system that you will use to install our Helm charts
-
Open Terminal or any other command-line app that has access to Kubernetes tools on your local system.
-
Set the following environment variables.
Copy the format of constants below, paste it on Terminal to start setting environment variables, set values for each variable, and hit ENTER or RETURN.
PLANE_VERSION=v1.5.1 # or the last released version DOMAIN_NAME=<subdomain.domain.tld or domain.tld>
-
Add Plane helm chart repo
Continue to be on the same Terminal window as with the previous steps, copy the code below, paste it on Terminal, and hit ENTER or RETURN.
helm repo add plane https://helm.plane.so/

Set-up and customization
-
Quick set-up
This is the fastest way to deploy Plane with default settings. This will create stateful deployments for Postgres, Rabbitmq, Redis/Valkey, and Minio with a persistent volume claim using the default storage class.This also sets up the ingress routes for you using
nginx
ingress class.To customize this, see
Custom ingress routes
below.Continue to be on the same Terminal window as you have so far, copy the code below, and paste it on your Terminal screen.
helm install plane-app plane/plane-enterprise \ --create-namespace \ --namespace plane \ --set license.licenseDomain=${DOMAIN_NAME} \ --set planeVersion=${PLANE_VERSION} \ --set ingress.enabled=true \ --set ingress.ingressClass=nginx \ --timeout 10m \ --wait \ --wait-for-jobs
This is the basic setup required for Plane-EE. You can customize the default values for namespace and appname as needed. Additional settings can be configured by referring to the Configuration Settings section.
Using a Custom StorageClass
To specify a custom StorageClass for Plane-Enterprise components, add the following options to the above
helm upgrade --install
command:--set env.storageClass=<your-storageclass-name>
-
Advance set-up
For more control over your set-up, run the script below to download the
values.yaml
file and and edit using any editor like Vim or Nano.helm show values plane/plane-enterprise > values.yaml vi values.yaml
Make sure you set the minimum required values as below.
-
planeVersion: v1.5.1 <or the last released version>
-
license.licenseDomain: <The domain you have specified to host Plane>
-
ingress.enabled: <true | false>
-
ingress.ingressClass: <nginx or any other ingress class configured in your cluster>
-
env.storageClass: <default storage class configured in your cluster>
See
Available customizations
for more details.
After saving the
values.yaml
file, continue to be on the same Terminal window as on the previous steps, copy the code below, and paste it on your Terminal screen.helm install plane-app plane/plane-enterprise \ --create-namespace \ --namespace plane \ -f values.yaml \ --timeout 10m \ --wait \ --wait-for-jobs
