# Deploy Eigenfocus with Easypanel

URL: /templates/eigenfocus

Eigenfocus is a self-hosted project management tool built around boards, issues, and time tracking, without the bloat of larger tools like Jira or Linear. It has no built-in login system by design, since it is meant for a single person or a small trusted team, so this template protects it with HTTP Basic Auth instead. This template runs Eigenfocus against a PostgreSQL database for production-grade reliability.

## Installation notes

Open the app URL and sign in with the HTTP Basic Auth prompt using username admin and the auto-generated password shown as HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD in this service's Environment tab in Easypanel. Change or remove HTTP_AUTH_USER/HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD from the Environment tab at any time; removing both leaves the app fully open, so only do that if it is not reachable from the internet.

## Benefits

### Clutter-Free Project Management

Boards, issues, and time tracking cover the essentials without the configuration overhead of larger project management tools.

### Built-In Time Tracking

Track time directly against issues without a separate timer app or browser extension.

### Markdown Everywhere

Issues and docs are written in markdown using the built-in Milkdown editor, so content stays portable and easy to read as plain text.

## Features

### Kanban Boards

Organize issues into boards and move them through custom stages as work progresses.

### Time Reports

Review time logged per issue, project, or period from a dedicated reporting view.

### Single-Tenant by Design

No multi-user login system to configure or maintain; access is controlled at the HTTP layer instead, matching its use as a personal or small-team tool.
