Important notes

Minimum CPU/RAM and recommended RAM are official (developer docs, Docker Compose Commercial Edition prerequisites: CPU 2 cores; RAM 4GB with 8GB recommended for production; the Community Edition section cites an EC2 t3.medium minimum, i.e. 2 vCPU / 4 GB). rec_cpu left blank: official developer docs give no recommended CPU figure. min_disk left blank: developer docs do not state a disk minimum. Note discrepancy: the marketing page https://plane.so/self-hosted states 'Minimum: 4 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, 50 GB storage', which conflicts with the developer docs; developer docs were used as the primary source. GitHub stars 61346 on 2026-10-24.
