What is Huly?

Huly combined issue tracking, team chat, documents, a knowledge base, recruiting and HR modules in one workspace with real-time collaboration. Its README now states that this repository is frozen and no longer actively maintained: development continues in the Platform-Collective/platform repository, and the hosted Huly service has shut down because its hosting is no longer funded. Self-hosting means running a large stack, about 34 containers including Kafka, Elasticsearch, Redis and MinIO.

Good fit if

  • You already run a self-hosted Huly instance and need its source code for reference.
  • You want to study the design of an all-in-one workspace before trying its successor repository.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need a maintained project management tool: Plane, OpenProject or Leantime.
  • You want to follow Huly's code: development has moved to Platform-Collective/platform.

Before you adopt it

Huly is EPL-2.0, a weak copyleft license approved by the OSI. Because the repository is frozen and the hosted service is gone, do not start new deployments from it; check the new repository first.
