About this project
NocoDB turns any relational database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server) into a smart, collaborative spreadsheet interface. It's an open source, self-hostable Airtable alternative with grid, gallery, kanban, and form views, REST/GraphQL APIs, automations, and access control — perfect for building internal tools and lightweight apps without code.
How to use it
Get started
Run with Docker:
docker run -d --name nocodb -p 8080:8080 nocodb/nocodb:latest
Open http://localhost:8080, connect an existing database or start fresh, and build views, forms, and automations visually. APIs are generated automatically for every table.
