Self-Hosting NOCODB on Debian 12 WITHOUT Docker and WITH Specific JS Runtime?

Self-Host

Are there any instructions for installing NOCODB on Debian Linux without Docker and using either BUN or DENO runtimes rather than NODE?

hi, once the nix flake is ready, you can install it using nix

in the meantime you can try to follow the steps in the dockerfile

i agree, using docker can be a bad experience sometimes, we’re working on it
maybe we can make a native deb package if there’s enough interest

Checking in to see if there’s a status update on a Nix Flake for NocoDB

i was working on it last friday morning, but got distracted with some other work,
can probably pick it up today as soon as that one is complete

you can follow the progress here, if i am awol for too long do make some noise

Thanks Sinan!

I’ll definitely check back in a week or so for the Nix flake as we’re hoping to migrate much of our DEV and PRODUCTION stuff over to NIX and NIXOS in 2025.

In the meantime I’m exploring NocoDB via a Docker instance I finally got running on Debian 12.9.

Do you happen to know if anyone is working on making NocoDB installable with latest BUN and/or DENO? Many JS/TS projects now provide install/uninstall scripts for NODE, BUN and DENO shops. BUN and DENO have the advantage in speed and security but also greatly simply the environment by eliminating the need for a host of separate tools, e.g. NPM, PNPM, NPX, YARN, etc.

Cheers,

I’ve pushed the nix package to the nix-init branch, if you have nix installed you can try out nocodb using
nix run github:nocodb/nocodb/nix-init

i can’t say anything about bun or deno support tho, but deno2 is intriguing.
i always liked the golang tier tooling of deno

i’ll make a nixos module and try to upstream everything to nixpkgs, should be straightforward.
