Interactor product-manager

A self-hostable project management platform for software delivery teams — phases, plans, SOWs, change requests, approvals, drift analysis, AI assists.

Open-core: the application is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and runs end-to-end on commodity infra. Optional enterprise features (SSO/SAML, audit-log UI, advanced RBAC, billing) live under ee/ and are sold separately.

Quickstart (Docker)

git clone https://github.com/InteractorOSS/product-manager
cd product-manager
cp .env.example .env
# AUTH_SECRET is required:
echo "AUTH_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)" >> .env
docker compose up -d
open http://localhost:4021

Migrations run automatically on first boot. Create the first user via the sign-up screen — that account becomes the org owner.

Quickstart (local Node)

npm install
cp .env.example .env.local
# fill in DATABASE_URL, AUTH_SECRET, REDIS_URL
npm run db:migrate
npm run db:seed
npm run dev

Dev server runs on http://localhost:4021.
