Simple installation - takes about three minutes!
## Prerequisites
- [Docker ](https://www.docker.com/get-started ) or [Node.js ](https://nodejs.org/en/download ) ( > v16.x )
## Quick try
### Docker
If you are a Docker user, you may try this way!

```bash
docker run -d --name nocodb \
-v "$(pwd)"/nocodb:/usr/app/data/ \
-p 8080:8080 \
nocodb/nocodb:latest
```

```bash
docker run -d --name nocodb-postgres \
-v "$(pwd)"/nocodb:/usr/app/data/ \
-p 8080:8080 \
-e NC_DB="pg://host.docker.internal:5432?u=root& p=password& d=d1" \
-e NC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET="569a1821-0a93-45e8-87ab-eb857f20a010" \

```

:::tip
To persist data in docker you can mount volume at `/usr/app/data/` since 0.10.6. In older version mount at `/usr/src/app` . Otherwise your data will be lost after recreating the container.
:::
### Docker Compose
We provide different docker-compose.yml files under [this directory ](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/tree/master/docker-compose ). Here are some examples.
< Tabs >
< TabItem value = "postgres" label = "Postgres" >
```bash
git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb
cd nocodb/docker-compose/pg
docker-compose up -d
```

```
### AWS ECS (Fargate)
< details >
< summary > Click to Expand< / summary >
#### Create ECS Cluster
```
aws ecs create-cluster \
--cluster-name < YOUR_ECS_CLUSTER >
```
#### Create Log group
```
aws logs create-log-group \
--log-group-name /ecs/< YOUR_APP_NAME > /< YOUR_CONTAINER_NAME >
```
#### Create ECS Task Definiton
Every time you create it, it will add a new version. If it is not existing, the version will be 1.
```bash
aws ecs register-task-definition \
--cli-input-json "file://./< YOUR_TASK_DEF_NAME > .json"
```
:::note
This json file defines the container specification. You can define secrets such as NC_DB and environment variables here.
:::
Here's the sample Task Definition
```json
{
"family": "nocodb-sample-task-def",
"networkMode": "awsvpc",
"containerDefinitions": [{
"name": "< YOUR_CONTAINER_NAME > ",
"image": "nocodb/nocodb:latest",
"essential": true,
"logConfiguration": {
"logDriver": "awslogs",
"options": {
"awslogs-group": "/ecs/< YOUR_APP_NAME > /< YOUR_CONTAINER_NAME > ",
"awslogs-region": "< YOUR_AWS_REGION > ",
"awslogs-stream-prefix": "ecs"
}
},
"secrets": [{
"name": "< YOUR_SECRETS_NAME > ",
"valueFrom": "< YOUR_SECRET_ARN > "
}],
"environment": [{
"name": "< YOUR_ENV_VARIABLE_NAME > ",
"value": "< YOUR_ENV_VARIABLE_VALUE > "
}],
"portMappings": [{
"containerPort": 8080,
"hostPort": 8080,
"protocol": "tcp"
}]
}],
"requiresCompatibilities": [
"FARGATE"
],
"cpu": "256",
"memory": "512",
"executionRoleArn": "< YOUR_ECS_EXECUTION_ROLE_ARN > ",
"taskRoleArn": "< YOUR_ECS_TASK_ROLE_ARN > "
}
```
#### Create ECS Service
```bash
aws ecs create-service \
--cluster < YOUR_ECS_CLUSTER > \
--service-name < YOUR_SERVICE_NAME > \
--task-definition < YOUR_TASK_DEF > :< YOUR_TASK_DEF_VERSION > \
--desired-count < DESIRED_COUNT > \
--launch-type "FARGATE" \
--platform-version < VERSION > \
--health-check-grace-period-seconds < GRACE_PERIOD_IN_SECOND > \
--network-configuration "awsvpcConfiguration={subnets=["< YOUR_SUBSETS > "], securityGroups=["< YOUR_SECURITY_GROUPS > "], assignPublicIp=ENABLED}" \
--load-balancer targetGroupArn=< TARGET_GROUP_ARN > ,containerName=< CONTAINER_NAME > ,containerPort=< YOUR_CONTAINER_PORT >
```
:::note
If your service fails to start, you may check the logs in ECS console or in Cloudwatch. Generally it fails due to the connection between ECS container and NC_DB. Make sure the security groups have the correct inbound and outbound rules.

### GCP (Cloud Run)
< details >
< summary > Click to Expand< / summary >
#### Pull NocoDB Image on Cloud Shell
Since Cloud Run only supports images from Google Container Registry (GCR) or Artifact Registry, we need to pull NocoDB image, tag it and push it in GCP using Cloud Shell. Here are some sample commands which you can execute in Cloud Shell.
```bash
# pull latest NocoDB image
docker pull nocodb/nocodb:latest
# tag the image
docker tag nocodb/nocodb:latest gcr.io/< MY_PROJECT_ID > /nocodb/nocodb:latest
# push the image to GCR
docker push gcr.io/< MY_PROJECT_ID > /nocodb/nocodb:latest
```
#### Deploy NocoDB on Cloud Run
```bash
gcloud run deploy --image=gcr.io/< MY_PROJECT_ID > /nocodb/nocodb:latest \
--region=us-central1 \
--allow-unauthenticated \
--platform=managed
```
