How to self-host an Airtable alternative in one Docker command with Nocodb

Start NocoDB with SQLite in Docker and get a spreadsheet style database at localhost:8080.

Short answer: Install Docker; then run the Docker with SQLite command from the README: docker run -d with --name noco, -v "$(pwd)"/nocodb:/usr/app/data/ and -p 8080:8080, using the image nocodb/nocodb:latest; open http://localhost:8080/dashboard. All steps.

Who it is forAn operator who wants shared tables without a per-seat SaaS bill.

The problemSpreadsheets break down when several people edit structured data at once.

The outcomeNocoDB running on your machine with data persisted in a local Nocodb folder.

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. Install Docker
  2. Run the Docker with SQLite command from the README: docker run -d with --name noco, -v "$(pwd)"/nocodb:/usr/app/data/ and -p 8080:8080, using the image nocodb/nocodb:latest
  3. Open http://localhost:8080/dashboard
  4. Create a base and tables in the Grid view

Prompt for your agent

Using nocodb/nocodb, start it with the README's Docker with SQLite command (`--name noco`, `-p 8080:8080`, image `nocodb/nocodb:latest`) and confirm the dashboard loads at localhost:8080.

Caveat. For quick local tests only, the README also lists binaries such as `curl http://get.nocodb.com/linux-x64 -o nocodb -L && chmod +x nocodb && ./nocodb`.
