Quick try

1-Click Deploy

Heroku

Using Docker

docker run -d --name nocodb -p 8080:8080 nocodb/nocodb:latest

• NocoDB needs a database as input : See 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

Production Setup

NocoDB requires a database to store metadata of spreadsheets views and external databases. 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 docker-compose
cd mysql or pg or mssql
docker-compose up

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.
