Overview

AI coding agents are increasingly writing the world's code and human engineers now spend the majority of their time planning, reviewing, and orchestrating tasks. Vibe Kanban streamlines this process, enabling you to:

  • Easily switch between different coding agents
  • Orchestrate the execution of multiple coding agents in parallel or in sequence
  • Quickly review work and start dev servers
  • Track the status of tasks that your coding agents are working on
  • Centralise configuration of coding agent MCP configs
  • Open projects remotely via SSH when running Vibe Kanban on a remote server

You can watch a video overview here.

Installation

Make sure you have authenticated with your favourite coding agent. A full list of supported coding agents can be found in the docs. Then in your terminal run:

npx vibe-kanban

Documentation

Please head to the website for the latest documentation and user guides.

Support

We use GitHub Discussions for feature requests. Please open a discussion to create a feature request. For bugs please open an issue on this repo.

Contributing

We would prefer that ideas and changes are first raised with the core team via GitHub Discussions or Discord, where we can discuss implementation details and alignment with the existing roadmap. Please do not open PRs without first discussing your proposal with the team.

Development

Prerequisites

Additional development tools:

cargo install cargo-watch
cargo install sqlx-cli

Install dependencies:

pnpm i

Running the dev server

pnpm run dev

This will start the backend. A blank DB will be copied from the dev_assets_seed folder.

Building the frontend

To build just the frontend:

cd frontend
pnpm build

Build from source

  1. Run build-npm-package.sh
  2. In the npx-cli folder run npm pack
  3. You can run your build with npx [GENERATED FILE].tgz

Environment Variables

The following environment variables can be configured at build time or runtime:

Variable Type Default Description
POSTHOG_API_KEY Build-time Empty PostHog analytics API key (disables analytics if empty)
POSTHOG_API_ENDPOINT Build-time Empty PostHog analytics endpoint (disables analytics if empty)
PORT Runtime Auto-assign Production: Server port. Dev: Frontend port (backend uses PORT+1)
BACKEND_PORT Runtime 0 (auto-assign) Backend server port (dev mode only, overrides PORT+1)
FRONTEND_PORT Runtime 3000 Frontend dev server port (dev mode only, overrides PORT)
HOST Runtime 127.0.0.1 Backend server host
DISABLE_WORKTREE_ORPHAN_CLEANUP Runtime Not set Disable git worktree cleanup (for debugging)

Build-time variables must be set when running pnpm run build. Runtime variables are read when the application starts.

Remote Deployment

When running Vibe Kanban on a remote server (e.g., via systemctl, Docker, or cloud hosting), you can configure your editor to open projects via SSH:

  1. Access via tunnel: Use Cloudflare Tunnel, ngrok, or similar to expose the web UI
  2. Configure remote SSH in Settings → Editor Integration:
    • Set Remote SSH Host to your server hostname or IP
    • Set Remote SSH User to your SSH username (optional)
  3. Prerequisites:
    • SSH access from your local machine to the remote server
    • SSH keys configured (passwordless authentication)
    • VSCode Remote-SSH extension

When configured, the "Open in VSCode" buttons will generate URLs like vscode://vscode-remote/ssh-remote+user@host/path that open your local editor and connect to the remote server.

See the documentation for detailed setup instructions.
