Baserow - Airtable Alternative

[jdaviescoates]

@Staff by the sounds of it this should perhaps be marked as a WIP?

[girish]

There are docs at https://baserow.io/docs/guides/installation/install-on-cloudron if someone wants to try.

@girish Will Baserow be available as an official app on the appstore?

[marcusquinn]

@ctrl I guess the idea here is that early adopters help test first, find any issues and give feedback to confirm when ready for general release.

[girish]

@ctrl I don't see why not.

Has anyone here played with the app (you can sign up on baserow.io as well) and had any thoughts/comments?

@girish it's pretty amazing - working with @robi on finishing up BBB and Nextcloud HPBE (standalone) and then will turn my attention to this and plenoma

Awesome!

I only just spotted that BBB 2.3-beta-1 is out https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/releases

This is off-topic, but I assume that's work you're working with that version?

[doodlemania2]

@jdaviescoates yep

@bram Baserow looks really promising! I just took it for a spin using Cloudron. I am would like to connect to the postgres database, but I really can't seem to find it. When I connect to the app by the terminal, there is no Postgres process running. Similarly, in the supervisor file I see no mention of postgres. Yet in all evidence, baserow is running smoothly so surely the database is running somewhere, I just can't seem to find where. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

@nikosgpet The Baserow I'm using looks okay:

I haven't figured out the default username and password yet haha, so if you have that laying around, that'd help me out too!

@nikosgpet Hi @nikosgpet, thanks! I am glad that you like Baserow. The PostgreSQL server is not installed in the Cloudron app. We use the Cloudron PostgreSQL addon, which runs in a different kubernetes pod. In the terminal, you should be able to execute PGPASSWORD=${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD} psql -h ${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_HOST} -p ${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PORT} -U ${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_USERNAME} -d ${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_DATABASE} to access the PostgreSQL database.

@doodlemania2 Are you looking for a default username and password of Baserow?

[doodlemania2]

@bram correct, once i install from the baserow docs, i guess i need a default u/p in the case baserow isn't set up with cloudron ldap auth access.

I realize folks are looking at how this space devlops, but I thought I would share this baserow release info I just stumbled upon
https://baserow.io/blog/april-2021-release-of-baserow

[bram]

@doodlemania2 A default user is not created after installation. One could be created via the command line /app/code/env/bin/python /app/code/baserow/backend/src/baserow/manage.py createsuperuser or via the signup page. The first user that signs up via the signup page is automatically getting staff/admin rights.

@bram One for the App's first-use instructions I guess?

Until you get all LDAPy happy with us

[kallados]

Im unfortunately not able to install. Ideas?

App installation error: Installation failed: Unable to pull image registry.gitlab.com/bramw/baserow/cloudron:1.3.0. Please check the network or if the image needs authentication. statusCode: 500

I tried the last two Version- same Answer.

Update
I builded the Image locally und pushed to Private Registry Docker. Everything fine and working.

[nebulon]

I have now published Baserow in our app library. Currently still of course marked as unstable, but now everyone interested may install it directly and please provide feedback.

We have a new forum section for this at https://forum.cloudron.io/category/136/baserow

I will close this topic then.

Thanks a lot to @bram for both the stellar initial packaging and of course also the app itself! Very well done
