Run SENN on Your Machine

Clone the repo, start Docker, and create your first ticket — no SaaS account required.

Prerequisites

  • Docker & Docker Compose (Docker Desktop, Colima, or engine + compose plugin)
  • Port 8151 available on localhost
  • Git and bash (Terminal on macOS/Linux; WSL2 on Windows)
  1. 1

    Clone, configure, and start

    Clone the repository, copy .env.example to .env, set DB_PASSWORD and JWT_SECRET_KEY, then start with Docker Compose.

    git clone https://github.com/macplanning-labs/senn.git
cd senn
cp .env.example .env
# edit DB_PASSWORD and JWT_SECRET_KEY (required — empty values fail Postgres)
docker compose up --build
  2. 2

    Open the app

    When containers are healthy, open the UI in your browser:

    http://localhost:8151
  3. 3

    Sign up and log in

    Create an account from the sign-up screen, then log in with your credentials.

  4. 4

    Create a Team

    Teams are required before tickets. Open Teams from the sidebar (or ⌘K), click + New Team, and name your team.

  5. 5

    Create your first ticket

    From the team page, click New Ticket, enter a title and description, and save.
