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.
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.
git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb-seed
cd nocodb-seed
npm install
npm start

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.
Docker Compose
We provide different docker-compose.yml files under this directory. Here are some examples.
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

Development Setup
Cloning the Project
git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb
cd nocodb
Running Backend locally
cd packages/nocodb
npm install
npm run watch:run
# open localhost:8080/dashboard in browser
Running Frontend locally
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
# 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

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.
