# Quick try ## 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. Deploy NocoDB to Heroku with 1-Click
## NPX You can run below command if you need an interactive configuration. ``` npx create-nocodb-app ``` ## 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 ``` ## Docker ```bash # for SQLite docker run -d --name nocodb \ -v /local/path:/usr/app/data/ \ -p 8080:8080 \ nocodb/nocodb:latest # for MySQL docker run -d --name nocodb-mysql \ -v /local/path:/usr/app/data/ \ -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 # for PostgreSQL docker run -d --name nocodb-postgres \ -v /local/path:/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" \ nocodb/nocodb:latest # for MSSQL docker run -d --name nocodb-mssql \ -v /local/path:/usr/app/data/ \ -p 8080:8080 \ -e NC_DB="mssql://host.docker.internal:1433?u=root&p=password&d=d1" \ -e NC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET="569a1821-0a93-45e8-87ab-eb857f20a010" \ nocodb/nocodb:latest ``` > To persist data in docker you can mount volume at `/usr/app/data/` since 0.10.6. 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 ``` > To persist data in docker, you can mount volume at `/usr/app/data/` since 0.10.6.

See App Store for details. - ⚡  Chat : Slack, Discord, Mattermost, and etc - ⚡  Email : AWS SES, SMTP, MailerSend, and etc - ⚡  Storage : AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Minio, and etc ### Programmatic Access 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. - ⚡  REST APIs - ⚡  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 Sync Schema for details. ### Audit We are keeping all the user operation logs under one place. See Audit 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. ## Environment variables Please refer to [Environment variables](https://docs.nocodb.com/getting-started/installation#environment-variables) # Development Setup ## Cloning the Project ```shell git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb cd nocodb ``` ## Running Backend locally ```shell cd packages/nocodb npm install npm run watch:run # open localhost:8080/dashboard in browser ``` ## Running Frontend locally ```shell cd packages/nc-gui npm install npm run dev # open localhost:3000/dashboard in browser ``` Changes made to code automatically restart. > nocodb/packages/nocodb includes nc-lib-gui which is the built version of nc-gui hosted in npm registry. You can visit localhost:8000/dashboard in browser after starting the backend locally if you just want to modify the backend only. ## Running Cypress tests locally ```shell # install dependencies(cypress) npm install # run mysql database with required database using docker compose docker-compose -f ./scripts/docker-compose-cypress.yml up # Run backend api using following command npm run start:api # Run frontend web UI using following command npm run start:web # wait until both 3000 and 8080 ports are available # and run cypress test using following command npm run cypress:run # or run following command to run it with GUI npm run cypress:open ``` # Contributing Please refer to [Contribution Guide](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md). # Why are we building this? Most internet businesses equip themselves with either spreadsheet or a database to solve their business needs. Spreadsheets are used by a Billion+ humans collaboratively every single day. However, we are way off working at similar speeds on databases which are way more powerful tools when it comes to computing. Attempts to solve this with SaaS offerings has meant horrible access controls, vendor lockin, data lockin, abrupt price changes & most importantly a glass ceiling on what's possible in future. # Our Mission Our mission is to provide the most powerful no-code interface for databases which is open source to every single internet business in the world. This would not only democratise access to a powerful computing tool but also bring forth a billion+ people who will have radical tinkering-and-building abilities on internet. # Contributors [//]: contributor-faces
