How to run NocoDB on PostgreSQL for a team tracker with Nocodb

Point NocoDB at a PostgreSQL database and give the team Kanban, Form and Calendar views over the same tables.

Short answer: Run PostgreSQL and note its host, user, password and database name; then use the Docker with PG command, setting NC_DB to your database URL and NC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET to your own secret; create Kanban, Form and Calendar views over your tables. All steps.

Credentials. The README sample puts a database password and a JWT secret on the command line; replace both with your own values and keep them out of shell history and repositories.

Who it is forA team lead replacing a messy shared spreadsheet with a real database.

The problemSQLite in a single container is fine for testing but not for a team's production data.

The outcomeA NocoDB instance backed by PostgreSQL with views and roles for the team.

What you need first

  • Docker for the recommended install, or a prebuilt binary for quick local tests
  • Optional PostgreSQL database for the Docker with PG setup
  • Note the Sustainable Use License, which is not an OSI open source license

Steps

  1. Run PostgreSQL and note its host, user, password and database name
  2. Use the Docker with PG command, setting NC_DB to your database URL and NC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET to your own secret
  3. Create Kanban, Form and Calendar views over your tables
  4. Use Access Control with Roles and locked views to limit who can edit what

Prompt for your agent

With nocodb/nocodb, prepare the README's Docker with PG command for my PostgreSQL at <db host and name>, using my own NC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET instead of the sample value, and list the views I should create for a task tracker.

Caveat. The README's Auto-upstall script installs Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis and Traefik with SSL for production, but it runs a remote script with bash, so read it first.
