# Quick try ### 1-Click Deploy #### Heroku

### 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/`. Example: ``` docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name nocodb -v /local/path:/usr/app/data/ nocodb/nocodb:latest ``` ### Using Npm ``` npx create-nocodb-app ``` ### Using Git ``` git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb-seed cd nocodb-seed npm install npm start ``` ### GUI Access Dashboard using : [http://localhost:8080/dashboard](http://localhost:8080/dashboard) # Join Our Community

And connection params for this database can be specified in `NC_DB` environment variable. ## Docker #### 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 ``` #### 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" \ nocodb/nocodb:latest ``` #### 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 ``` ## Docker Compose ``` git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb cd nocodb cd docker-compose cd mysql or pg or mssql docker-compose up ``` ## 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 ``` ## Running Backend locally ```shell cd nocodb/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
