## 1-Click Deploy to Heroku
Before doing so, make sure you have a Heroku account. By default, an add-on Heroku Postgres will be used as meta database. You can see the connection string defined in `DATABASE_URL` by navigating to Heroku App Settings and selecting Config Vars.

### Using Docker
```bash
docker run -d --name nocodb -p 8080:8080 nocodb/nocodb:latest
```
- NocoDB needs a database as input : See [Production Setup](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/blob/master/README.md#production-setup).
- If this input is absent, we fallback to SQLite. In order too persist sqlite, you can mount `/usr/app/data/`.
<br/>
Example:
## NPX
```
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name nocodb -v /local/path:/usr/app/data/ nocodb/nocodb:latest
```
You can run below command if you need an interactive configuration.
### Using Npm
```
npx create-nocodb-app
```
### Using Git
```

## Node Application
We provide a simple NodeJS Application for getting started.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb-seed
cd nocodb-seed
npm install
npm start
```
### GUI
## Docker
```bash
# for SQLite
docker run -d --name nocodb -p 8080:8080 nocodb/nocodb:latest
# for MySQL
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
-e NC_DB="mysql2://host.docker.internal:3306?u=root&p=password&d=d1" \

> 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.
> If you plan to input some special characters, you may need to change the character set and collation yourself when creating the database. Please check out the examples for [MySQL Docker](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/1340#issuecomment-1049481043).
## 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.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb
# for MySQL
cd nocodb/docker-compose/mysql
# for PostgreSQL
cd nocodb/docker-compose/pg
# for MSSQL
cd nocodb/docker-compose/mssql
docker-compose up -d

## Docker
### App Store for Workflow Automations
#### Example: MySQL
```
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
-e NC_DB="mysql2://host.docker.internal:3306?u=root&p=password&d=d1" \
-e NC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET="569a1821-0a93-45e8-87ab-eb857f20a010" \
nocodb/nocodb:latest
```
We provide different integrations in three main categories. See <a href="https://docs.nocodb.com/setup-and-usages/app-store" target="_blank">App Store</a> for details.
#### Example: PostgreSQL
```
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
-e NC_DB="pg://host:port?u=user&p=password&d=database" \
-e NC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET="569a1821-0a93-45e8-87ab-eb857f20a010" \

- ⚡ &nbsp;Storage : AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Minio, and etc
#### Example: SQL Server
```
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
-e NC_DB="mssql://host:port?u=user&p=password&d=database" \
-e NC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET="569a1821-0a93-45e8-87ab-eb857f20a010" \
nocodb/nocodb:latest
```
### Programmatic Access
## Docker Compose
```
git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb
cd nocodb
cd docker-compose
cd mysql or pg or mssql
docker-compose up -d
```
We provide the following ways to let users to invoke actions in a programmatic way. You can use a token (either JWT or Social Auth) to sign your requests for authorization to NocoDB.
- ⚡ &nbsp;REST APIs
- ⚡ &nbsp;NocoDB SDK
### Sync Schema
We allow you to sync schema changes if you have made changes outside NocoDB GUI. However, it has to be noted then you will have to bring your own schema migrations for moving from environment to others. See <a href="https://docs.nocodb.com/setup-and-usages/sync-schema/" target="_blank">Sync Schema</a> for details.
### Audit
We are keeping all the user operation logs under one place. See <a href="https://docs.nocodb.com/setup-and-usages/audit" target="_blank">Audit</a> for details.
# Production Setup
By default, SQLite is used for storing meta data. However, you can specify your own database. The connection params for this database can be specified in `NC_DB` environment variable. Moreover, we also provide the below environment variables for configuration.
