NocoDB - Open Source Airtable Alternative

[o1lab]

@aizat happy to bump across you.

Hey Cloudron community,

This is Naveen - Founder of NocoDB.

NocoDB is a free & open source no-code database. (its an alternative to airtable but on your own new/existing databases). We instantly provide a collaborative spreadsheet and APIs on databases. Currently support turning postgres, mysql, SQL server, sqlite and mariadb databases.

We launched it 7 months ago and have had ~5.5 Million docker downloads. Would love to make NocoDB part of Cloudron so that the community can benefit for a seamless experience.

Really look forward to it @nebulon @girish

@o1lab welcome and I'm sure NocoDB would be a good addition to the Cloudron portfolio

@o1lab hi naveen, welcome here! I am happy to get it published. It's actually pretty much packaged and one thing holding us back was that after installation, it shows a splash screen and this can be a confusing UX for the user. Is there a way to disable this and also the matrix screensaver automatically say at install time (in the packaging script) ? It's fine if we have to edit some database variables directly or set some environment variables.

@girish Wow this is good news. Thank you for the hard work, really appreciate it sincerely.

Hi @girish, We just published a new version in which you can add the NC_MIN environment variable to disable both splash screen and screensaver. The value of NC_MIN can be anything other than an empty string. Hope it will help.

@pranavxc thanks for the quick fix! I will look into getting the app published.

[o1lab]

@girish : Thank you so much. Look forward to it.

[o1lab]

@girish : Many of our users want to run noco on cloudron. Please let us know when its published. Excited to be part of the ecosystem.

[girish]

@o1lab Oh, I was waiting for a new release because 0.84.6 does not include it. Do you think using the master branch is stable?

[o1lab]

@girish : hey, it got available in 0.84.6.

[Aizat]

@girish Any news on this? I am super excited for this.
Sincere thanks for the amazing work!

[girish]

@aizat sorry, we will need more time we have to attend to update of some of the existing apps, before we can get to this. Hopefully, next week, I am already looking into this on the side. Will atleast try to get an unstable version soonish.

[o1lab]

@girish : gently following up on this - possible to give it a push this week.

Any idea what the ~ default RAM requirement will be?

[girish]

@o1lab started looking into this now It took a while but we had our own release issues to get sorted out.

[girish]

OK, I have pushed an unstable version now. Package source is at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/nocodb-app . Still fixing up various things and writing tests.
