      NocoDB is an open source #NoCode platform that turns any database into a smart spreadsheet.

              And there even is a docker version installation. That's one app that should be considered seriously.

                      @martinkbs : NocoDb is good (have it installed elsewhere) but Seatable (https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2517/seatable-speadsheet-meets-database?_=1634306780797) is much nicer (also installed elsewhere). Seatable should be the priority IMHO.

                        However, nocoDB is Open Source while Seatable is NOT. While Seatable looks great, I'd vote for priority on FOSS apps before paid apps on Cloudron imho.

                            I would vote for NocodDB too and prefer OSS projects to contribute 😉
                            NocoDB seems to be a promising project and it would be great to have it in Cloudron !

                                @bruno I have nocodb running on caprover on another vps.
                                It's nice. Not sure if better than Baserow or Seatable, but 💯 % agree on OSS

                                      @timconsidine Do you know how NocoDB and SeaTable compare with Baserow which is also Open Source AFAIK?

                                        @avatar1024 I haven't done a full comparison

                                        I have to say I prefer SeaTable because of the richer interface and setting up different views.

                                        And NocoDB is just plain annoying on its splash screen after the first time you have seen it .... but it's only a splash screen, so I had better get over it.

                                        Other than that, I haven't found a lot of difference between them, but TBH that's probably because I focussed more on SeaTable so far. But OSS is important so I will likely focus on Baserow or Nocodb more next.

                                        I think I would lean a little towards Baserow, but can't put my finger on why. Maybe it is NocoDB annoying eye-candy animations (we're not all children who go 'ooo' when they see glitter on the screen). Or the fact I have just found it has lost my initial user login and so the the tables I setup. Grrr. But can't blame them for that (maybe I did something wrong setting it up).

                                        But Noco is still only 0.8 so maybe some caution required.

                                          @adeelahmad oh this is great. What is the status of the package? Does the app itself work well?

                                            @timconsidine I had to try the app myself to understand what you meant by those animations. Agreed those animations are a bit off putting! Also, if you leave the app tab open for a while, it shows a matrix animation ! There is a checkbox to disable it though - https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/171 .

                                            Seems somewhere between a toy and a serious app.

                                                  You probably just don't have permission to do so yet. I assume @girish will sort you out 🙂

                                                            I note @klawitterb also has a an Outline package too:

                                                            Hopefully between you both and @staff and @appdev peeps will be able to get something stable sorted!

                                                              +1 to have NocoDB to Cloudron!
                                                              I just spoke to the founder, Naveen about the possibility to bring over NocoDB to Cloudron, and he's happy to do so.
                                                              I'll send him the link to this topic, so he can come and introduce himself & the app here.
                                                              Hope the Cloudron team @nebulon @girish can get in touch with him as well to make this possible 🙂
                                                              Really excited! 😄

                                                                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

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.

                                                                      Aizat pranavxc 2 Replies Last reply Reply Quote 9

The value of NC_MIN can be anything other than an empty string. Hope it will help.
