How do I install NocoDB?
Pick one of your servers, choose NocoDB from the one-click catalog and give it a domain. Nuvlo starts the containers with generated passwords, points the domain and issues the certificate.
What size server does NocoDB need?
Standard. Fine on a small server; give it some headroom if the server is busy.
What happens after install?
Create your workspace account on first visit.
Is NocoDB backed up?
Yes. Apps are sites like any other, so they use the same backup schedules and your own storage bucket.
Who updates NocoDB?
You do. NocoDB keeps the version it was installed with; to move to a newer release, pull the new image on the server over SSH. The dashboard has no update button for apps.
Does Nuvlo charge per app?
No. You pay your Nuvlo plan and your cloud provider for the server, and NocoDB itself is free to self-host.
