The Commercial edition comes with the free plan and the flexibility to upgrade to a paid plan at any point.

Follow the instructions below first all the way to the end of the section Restore data.
We strongly recommend you install on a fresh machine, not the one running Plane Community.

Back up data

setup.sh in the Community Edition now comes with an option to back up your data.

  1. Use ./setup.sh to open the operator menu and select 7 to backup your Plane data.
  2. When done, your data will be backed up to the folder shown on the screen. e.g., /plane-selfhost/plane-app/backup/20240522-1027
  3. This folder will contain 3 tar.gz files.
    • pgdata.tar.gz
    • redisdata.tar.gz
    • uploads.tar.gz
  4. Copy all the 3 files from the server running the Community Edition to any folder on the server running Plane One on any folder of your choice._createMdxContent

e.g., ~/ce-backup

Restore data

  1. Start any command-line interface like Terminal and go into the folder with the back-up files.
    cd ~/ce-backup
    
  2. Copy and paste the script below on Terminal and hit Enter.
    
    TARGET_DIR=/opt/plane/data
    sudo mkdir -p $TARGET_DIR
    for FILE in *.tar.gz; do
        if [ -e "$FILE" ]; then
            tar -xzvf "$FILE" -C "$TARGET_DIR"
        else
            echo "No .tar.gz files found in the current directory."
            exit 1
        fi
    done
    
    mv $TARGET_DIR/pgdata/ $TARGET_DIR/db
    mv $TARGET_DIR/redisdata/ $TARGET_DIR/redis
    mkdir -p $TARGET_DIR/minio
    mv $TARGET_DIR/uploads/ $TARGET_DIR/minio/uploads/
    
  3. This script will extract your Community Edition data and restore it to /opt/plane/data.
  4. Install Commercial edition.
