Deploy Label Studio on Northflank

Label Studio is an open-source data labeling platform that supports text, image, audio, and video annotations. It allows teams to create and manage labeling projects, collaborate efficiently, and prepare high-quality datasets for machine learning and AI workflows.

With Northflank, you can deploy Label Studio in minutes using a one-click stack template. Northflank handles scaling, networking, databases, and infrastructure, so you can focus on labeling and managing data instead of maintaining servers.

The Label Studio on Northflank stack template includes:

• 1 PostgreSQL addon – for storing Label Studio projects, tasks, and configuration data
• 1 secret group – for managing environment variables and credentials (e.g. username, password, database URL)
• Deployment of the Label Studio service from the official Docker image: heartexlabs/label-studio:latest

This setup provides a ready-to-use Label Studio instance in just a few clicks, fully configured for secure, persistent, and scalable hosting.

• LABEL_STUDIO_USERNAME – admin email(not username) for the Label Studio instance
• LABEL_STUDIO_PASSWORD – admin password for the Label Studio instance
