What is this monstrosity. This is the first time I see software that runs in docker-compose but has to be installed with a setup.sh run as root. What the hell is wrong with those people? Whatever setup steps are required, put them in the container!

100% agree. When we installed it we looked at the setup.sh and extracted what was needed from it. It was as simple as:

  curl -o docker-compose.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makeplane/plane/master/deploy/selfhost/docker-compose.yml
  curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makeplane/plane/master/deploy/selfhost/variables.env
  vim .env # adjust for your environment
  docker compose up -d
I really don't understand how the above is too complex that it required the creation of a bash script.

Some other notable docker-based projects that I've seen require an .sh are Sentry [1] and Postal [2].
