Penpot

Penpot: Open-source design and prototyping platform (Figma alternative) for cross-domain teams. Design with real web standards.

Deploy from this page: TryDirect provisions the server, starts the services, generates the deployment credentials and wires the 6 containers together. Nothing is shared between deployments and no secrets ship with the stack.

What's included

Service	Port	Description
app	80 (public on 9001)	Web UI
penpot-backend	internal	API server
penpot-exporter	internal	penpotapp/exporter:latest
postgres	internal	Database
redis	internal	Cache
mailcatcher	1080 (public)	sj26/mailcatcher:0.9.0

What you configure

• Domain (commonDomain): the hostname the stack is served on
• Domain (domain): the hostname the stack is served on
• Defaults provided: PENPOT_FLAGS, PENPOT_ASSETS_STORAGE_BACKEND, PENPOT_DATABASE_URI, PENPOT_DATABASE_USERNAME, PENPOT_FLAGS, PENPOT_REDIS_URI and 13 more ship prefilled and can be adjusted in the deploy form

All 2 credentials (passwords and keys) are generated per deployment and stored in your project's secret store.

Requirements

• A cloud account connected to TryDirect (the deploy form provisions

the server) or one of your own servers

• A server that fits 6 containers (4 GB RAM or more recommended)
• A DNS record for the domain you set in the deploy form

Alternative: deploy with the Stacker CLI

Everything above also works from the command line:

git clone https://github.com/trydirect/awesome-selfhosted-stacker.git
cd awesome-selfhosted-stacker/stacker-projects/penpot

# Generate secrets
cp .env.example .env
./scripts/generate-secrets.sh
