TruePPM

Try TruePPM

TruePPM’s zero-config evaluation paths — a hosted read-only demo and a one-command local trial, both preloaded with the same Platform Migration hybrid sample project — arrive with the 0.4 beta. This page previews them.

The hosted read-only demo (ships in 0.4)

Section titled “The hosted read-only demo (ships in 0.4)”

Once 0.4 tags, nothing will be needed to install — you will open the hosted demo and click around a real, populated schedule:

→ try.trueppm.com (live at the 0.4 tag)

It will be served through TruePPM’s own tokenized, read-only share link (the same mechanism the product gives you for sharing a schedule or board). There is no login and no write path — you are looking at a live instance, not a screenshot tour, but nothing you do can change it. The demo is noindex, resource -capped, and reachable only at the share URL.

One command: run the demo locally (ships in 0.4)

Section titled “One command: run the demo locally (ships in 0.4)”

Once 0.4 tags and its release images are published (#939), one command will bring up the whole stack on your own machine with zero configuration and auto-seed the sample data:

Terminal window
git clone https://gitlab.com/trueppm/trueppm.git && cd trueppm
docker compose -f docker-compose.demo.yml up

That is the entire setup. The stack:

  • migrates the database and seeds the Platform Migration sample (no manual data entry);
  • mints the public read-only schedule share link and prints its URL in the demo-seed container logs;
  • serves the web UI on http://localhost with noindex headers and a Disallow: / robots.txt;
  • applies conservative per-container memory and CPU caps.

Read the printed share URL from the logs and open it:

Terminal window
docker compose -f docker-compose.demo.yml logs demo-seed | grep 'URL:'
# → http://localhost/share/schedule/<token>

Pin a stable share URL

Section titled “Pin a stable share URL”

The raw share token is stored only as a hash, so a randomly-minted link cannot be reprinted after the first run. To get a stable, reprintable URL that survives restarts, pin a token before the first up:

Terminal window
TRUEPPM_DEMO_SHARE_TOKEN=your-fixed-token \
TRUEPPM_DEMO_BASE_URL=https://try.trueppm.com \
  docker compose -f docker-compose.demo.yml up

The public URL is then https://try.trueppm.com/share/schedule/your-fixed-token. The create_demo_share_link command that mints it is idempotent on the pinned token.
