For a video walkthrough of getting started with Kaneo, check out our Quick Start Guide on YouTube.

1. Create a compose.yml file with the following content:

services:
  backend:
    image: ghcr.io/usekaneo/api:latest
    environment:
      JWT_ACCESS: "change_me"
      DB_PATH: "/app/apps/api/data/kaneo.db"
    ports:
      - 1337:1337
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - sqlite_data:/app/apps/api/data

  frontend:
    image: ghcr.io/usekaneo/web:latest
    environment:
      KANEO_API_URL: "http://localhost:1337"
    ports:
      - 5173:5173
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  sqlite_data:

2. Run docker compose up -d to start the services.

3. Open http://localhost:5173 in your browser.

4. Create your first project and start managing your tasks!

Kaneo can also be deployed on Kubernetes using our Helm chart:

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/usekaneo/kaneo.git
cd kaneo

2. Install the Helm chart:

helm install kaneo ./charts/kaneo --namespace kaneo --create-namespace

3. Access Kaneo:

# Port forward to access both services
kubectl port-forward svc/kaneo-web 5173:5173 -n kaneo &
kubectl port-forward svc/kaneo-api 1337:1337 -n kaneo &

# Access the application at http://localhost:5173
# The web frontend will communicate with the API at http://localhost:1337

For production environments, we recommend using Ingress to expose Kaneo:

# Basic installation with ingress
helm install kaneo ./charts/kaneo \
  --namespace kaneo \
  --create-namespace \
  --set ingress.enabled=true \
  --set ingress.className=nginx \
  --set "ingress.hosts[0].host=kaneo.example.com"

For detailed production deployment examples, including:

• TLS configuration
• Cert-manager integration
• Path rewriting with regex capture groups
• Gateway API usage
• Resource configuration

Please refer to the Helm chart documentation.

For local deployments with Minikube:

1. Start Minikube:

minikube start

2. Install the Helm chart with Ingress enabled:

helm install kaneo ./charts/kaneo \
  --namespace kaneo \
  --create-namespace \
  --set ingress.enabled=true \
  --set ingress.className=nginx \
  --set "ingress.hosts[0].host=kaneo.local"

3. Enable the Ingress addon if not already enabled:

minikube addons enable ingress

4. Access Kaneo based on your OS:

For macOS, you need to use minikube tunnel to access the Ingress:

# Start minikube tunnel in a separate terminal
minikube tunnel

Update your /etc/hosts file:

# Add to /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 kaneo.local

Access Kaneo at http://kaneo.local

Get the Minikube IP:

minikube ip

Update your hosts file with the Minikube IP:

# Add to /etc/hosts (Linux) or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows)
192.168.49.2 kaneo.local  # Replace with the actual Minikube IP

Access Kaneo at http://kaneo.local
