Huly

Huly is an open-source, self-hosted web app and server that serves as a collaborative workspace that integrates project management, team chat, and document sharing into a single platform. The software is deployed as a server-side application and is typically managed via Docker for self-hosted installations, allowing organizations to maintain full control over their operational data and infrastructure.

The platform functions as a framework for building and deploying various business applications. It provides a set of pre-built tools for managing different organizational needs, ranging from technical issue tracking to human resources management. Users can interact with the system through the web interface or programmatically via a typed API client, which enables the creation of custom integrations and the automation of internal workflows.

The system distinguishes between production-ready stable releases and development versions, ensuring that self-hosted users can choose between stability and access to experimental features.

Huly is a comprehensive suite for teams that prefer to consolidate their operational tools into one self-hosted environment.
