SeaTable - Speadsheet meets database

[plusone-nick]

@ei8fdb Would you please further elaborate or provide some docs if available? I am in a similar situation regarding airtable

[ei8fdb]

Hi @plusone-nick hmm, I'm afraid I'm not able to give too much detail - not that I wouldn't like to - the details of the discussion were handled by a lawyer and she was not impressed by Airtable's use of cookies, and their handling of user's data.

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.

@ei8fdb No worries that's understandable, thanks for what insight you could provide - I will have to take a deeper look into this but thanks again

Seems to be standard MySQL data-store or am I missing something?

Seems so. Though there's a mention of Postgres here.

I would really like having this app… 🤩

Maybe a good integration with Metabase for the sharing aspect. Just point Metabase at the SeaTable DB

we'd really need the original Dockerfile files

Is this anything to go off?

[doodlemania2]

@yusf I wish it was - too many unknowns from that list as to which files are which, etc. I've asked them again if they are interested in being packaged. Will revert if they reply!

@philipp-braun generous limit for their free plan in their cloud !

[girish]

@timconsidine I think @Philipp-Braun is part of SeaTable team.

[timconsidine]

@philipp-braun checked out the cloud version : very nice !

@timconsidine Hey Tim. It is important to us that users can already intensively get to know SeaTable in the free version.

I notice that SeaTable is now available in the Linode Marketplace.

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?

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:

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