NocoDB VPSYour databases, as easy as a spreadsheet

NocoDB is a web application that presents a database as a spreadsheet: you create tables, link them together, display them as a grid, kanban, gallery, form or calendar, and every table is reachable through a REST API. It is a self-hosted alternative to Airtable.

Not in the strict sense any more. Since 9 January 2026, NocoDB is released under the Sustainable Use License 1.0, a source-available “fair-code” licence; earlier versions were under AGPL-3.0. Internal use is free whatever the size of your organisation, as is personal or non-commercial use. Offering NocoDB to third parties as a hosted or managed service, reselling it or embedding it in a product your customers use directly requires a commercial licence from the publisher. The exact terms are the publisher's; the prices on this page are those of the VPS.

The One Click Apps deployment stores NocoDB data in a SQLite database, kept with the attachments in an application volume that is backed up every day. NocoDB can also use PostgreSQL through the NC_DB variable, which you can edit in the Variables tab of the console: ideally decide this before entering your data, because switching databases does not move existing data.

Once the VPS is created, the One Click Apps platform installs and then deploys NocoDB. Its HTTPS address is shown in the console, in the application's Overview tab. Open it straight away: the first account to sign up becomes super admin. Sign-up without an invitation is then disabled by default, and you invite your team from NocoDB.

Yes. Add it in the application's Domains tab. If the DNS zone is managed at OnetSolutions, the A record is created for you; otherwise, the console shows the IP address to point it to. The HTTPS certificate is issued automatically.

One Click Apps needs at least 2 vCPUs, 2 GB of RAM and 30 GB of disk, with 1 GB of memory reserved for the system and the platform; that is also the minimum NocoDB states for memory and CPU. For production, the NocoDB documentation recommends 4 vCPUs, 8 GB of RAM and at least 50 GB of disk: pick a larger plan if your team is large or your attachments are heavy.

The NocoDB volume, database and attachments, is backed up every day at 03:00 and kept for 7 days, on the VPS disk: it protects you from a mistake in the application, not from losing the server. For that, add the VPS backup option (from €1.99 excl. VAT/month) or take a snapshot.

Every night, the platform checks whether a new NocoDB image has been published. If so, an Update available banner appears in the console and you run the update when you decide to; data volumes are kept. Nothing is updated without your action.

Our support covers the VPS: the server, its network, its storage and its availability. NocoDB, its configuration, your data, compliance with its licence and its updates remain your responsibility: the console gives you the tools to manage them, and you keep root access to the server.
