Ugh - ok finally got it working (it runs on port 80 by default but the docs mention 8080) and then browsing to the homepage gets me: Your Plane instance isn't ready yet Ask your Instance Admin to complete set-up first. With nothing in the docs about this.

(e.g NGINX_PORT=8080) The docs [1] are clear and concise. You just have to actually read it. [1] https://docs.plane.so/self-hosting/docker-compose

They are concise, but they are not clear at all.

No, they’re pretty clear - see the quote in my previous comment - it’s absolutely clear about the usage of ports. And you should have courage to admit you were wrong when you were wrong.

The best way to test this hypothesis would be to send a pull request that makes the self-hosting docs clearer. If they accept it then their business does not rely on self-hosting being hard.

That's not a sufficient test, because when put under the gun there's no reason not to believe that a company playing those kinds of games won't take that pull request, temporarily improving the situation, and then simply make no effort to keep it up to date later. Addresses the temporary embarrassment, but not the underlying problem. Mind, I don't think Plane's one of these. The open-source release seems comprehensiv…

That's a sufficient test. It's the community's prerogative to keep it up to date later with further PRs. I don't expect anyone, whether a company or a volunteer, to do ongoing maintenance work on features that don't directly serve them. The thing I'm testing for is whether they'd block someone else contributing a change that doesn't serve that company or volunteer.
