Frequently Asked Questions
? Is Tuleap hard to install?
Tuleap offers Docker images and native RHEL/CentOS packages for simplified installation. Basic setup is manageable for technical users, but advanced configurations (like CI/CD pipelines or SSO) require server administration knowledge.
? Is it a good alternative to Jira?
Yes—Tuleap provides core features like agile management, issue tracking, and version control integration, but with full self-hosting and no subscription fees. It’s ideal for teams prioritizing data ownership over cloud-based Jira’s SaaS convenience.
? Is Tuleap completely free?
The core Tuleap software is open-source (GPLv2) and fully free to download, self-host, and modify. Optional paid services (managed hosting, enterprise support) exist, but no cost is required to use the platform’s main features.
