nocodb-buildpack

This buildpack aims at installing a Nocodb instance on Scalingo and let you configure it at your convenance.

Usage

Simply deploy by cliking on this button:

Or create an app. You must have an add-on database postgresql. Add this buildpack environment variable to your Scalingo application to install the Nocodb server:

BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/MTES-MCT/nocodb-buildpack#main

And other environment variables are set by example in a .env.sample file.

PORT and SCALINGO_POSTGRESQL_URL are provided by Scalingo.

Addon configuration by default:

NOCODB_DB=$SCALINGO_POSTGRESQL_URL # SCALINGO_POSTGRESQL_URL is provided by scalingo at app boot step

Warning ⚠️: you should copy the database url in NOCODB_DB and change sslmode if prefer is unknown by nocodb.

By default the buildpack install the latest release.

All other environment variables are specific to nocodb, see documentation.

Hacking

You set environment variables in .env:

cp .env.sample .env

Run an interactive docker scalingo stack:

docker run --name nocodb -it -p 8080:8080 -v "$(pwd)"/.env:/env/.env -v "$(pwd)":/buildpack scalingo/scalingo-18:latest bash

And test in it:

bash buildpack/bin/detect
bash buildpack/bin/env.sh /env/.env /env
bash buildpack/bin/compile /build /cache /env
bash buildpack/bin/release

Run Nocodb server:

export PATH=/build/nodejs/bin:/build/nocodb:$PATH
run /build/nocodb /build/nodejs

Check http://localhost:8080/dashboard.

You can also use docker-compose in order to test with a complete stack (db):

docker-compose up --build -d

.env.sample is configured to work with this stack.
