NoCoDB, which is Free Software and billed as a SeaTable alternative

Last time I checked, SeaTable was better than NocoDB or Baserow.

SeaTable is a new application that combines spreadsheet with database. It allows you to manage many kinds of information as easily as a spreadsheet, while being as powerful as a dedicated information management application. With APIs and SDKs, you may quickly adapt SeaTable to your use cases, automate data processing and business processes.

Cloudron already supports NoCoDB, which is Free Software and billed as a SeaTable alternative:

Guides - Deploy SeaTable through the Linode Marketplace

I discovered SeaTable 3+ years ago and used their hosted version extensively for some things. It did the job. For a few years I paid for the Plus version (7€) to get the advanced sharing permissions.

I never felt like I was in control of my data and wanted to have this on domain I own, so later discovered NocoDB and Baserow and saw those come onto Cloudron. Now I seem to have things spread out over all 3, but would like to focus on one; Ideally one that I can figure out how to embed in other documents.

I won't be going the Linode route. Cloudron does so much more...
Not sure if this means anything for Cloudron. Has @Philipp-Braun stopped by recently?

we'd really need the original Dockerfile files

Is this anything to go off?

I would really like having this app… 🤩

In our case we were creating a campaign website with thousands of email addresses and names. They weren't able to guarantee it - which was all explained (helpfully!) in their privacy policy.

I've spent about 10 minutes with both and seatable was much easier to get started with.

I'd considered using airtable recently on a project but we had to stop as it didn't meet privacy requirements. Crazy shenanigans like not being able to guarantee the privacy of the data generated.

I was about to make a new post on this but i suppose a response here is okay for now: https://baserow.io/blog/open-source-release-of-baserow

They have a road map through Nov on their site too: https://baserow.io/

looks like a +1

The compose file looks like we could take it apart for CR based use decently, but we'd really need the original Dockerfile files to really do it. Those don't appear to be published anywhere accessible. If you find them, I'd be happy to take a closer look at packaging it for you.

The alternative looks VERY promising, but they are brand new (baserow) and haven't published a repo yet.

It's sad it's not fully open source but it's still self-hostable, no?

I believe so, yes.

@yusf said in SeaTable - Speadsheet meets database:

Also, how would I be able to "collaborate with your customers" if there's no collaborative features?

I think you can have those features, they are just proprietary.

So I guess it would still be nice to have this on Cloudron.

SeaTabe community edition should not be used to provide SaaS service or as a part of your SaaS service. Other kinds of usage are okay, including

• Use it internally in your company.
• Personal or home use.
• Use it to collaborate with your customers.
• Use it for IT projects for your customers, as long as you use a separate server for each of your customers.
