NocoDB - Open Source Airtable Alternative

[Aizat]

+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!

@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.

[girish]

@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.

+1 🦾 I would like to set it up with Cloudron

[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.
