NocoDB is a powerful open-source platform meant for building web-based database applications. It provides an intuitive user interface that allows you to create and manage databases, tables and data entries with less coding efforts. This tutorial will guide you on how to install NocoDB on Clear Linux latest version.
Before getting started, ensure you have the following:
NocoDB requires some dependencies to be installed on your system. To install them, open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo swupd bundle-add nodejs-basic
sudo swupd bundle-add yarn
sudo swupd bundle-add python3-basic
sudo swupd bundle-add gcc
sudo swupd bundle-add make
The first two commands will install Node.js and Yarn, which are required to handle the NocoDB dependencies. The last three commands will install Python, GCC, and Make, which are required for the building process.
Head over to the NocoDB download page, and grab the latest version of NocoDB. In this tutorial, we will download and install version 0.4.4.
wget https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/archive/v0.4.4.tar.gz
tar -xvzf v0.4.4.tar.gz
cd nocodb-0.4.4
Use wget
to download the compressed version of NocoDB and unzip it using the tar
command. Lastly, navigate to the extracted directory.
With NocoDB files in place, let's install the dependencies by running the following command:
yarn install --pure-lockfile --prod
This process may take a while, depending on your internet speed. However, once completed successfully, you're ready to start the NocoDB.
To begin the server, run the following command:
yarn start
Once you see Server started on 0.0.0.0:8080
in the terminal output, NocoDB is running and can be accessed using your system's web browser.
Before setting up the NocoDB application, change the default user's password using the following command:
node nodejs/util/reset_admin_password.js <your_new_password>
Replace your_new_password
with a strong password.
Finally, access the application using the browser by visiting http://localhost:8080
and sign in using the new username and password you've set up above.
Congratulations, you have installed NocoDB on Clear Linux! You've also learned the basic installation steps, how to set up the web application and access the backend interface from your web browser. You can now start building your web-based database application with minimal efforts.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
