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.

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.

App Store for Workflow Automations
We provide different integrations in three main categories. See App Store for details.
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.
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.

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
Twice a month we will interview people behind open source businesses. We will talk about how they are building a business on top of open source projects.
We'll never share your email with anyone else.
