NocoDB is an open source #NoCode platform that turns any MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite & MariaDB into a smart-spreadsheet. NocoDB is so flexible that it can be integrated with many business verticals. NocoDB has been downloaded more than 6.6 million times in Docker within the first year of launch alone. NocoDB allows even non-developers or business users to become software creators. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install NocoDB on your UGREEN NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest NocoDB 0.265.1 release.

💡Note: Check out my guide on how to Install NocoDB on Your Synology NAS.

STEP 1

Please Support My work by Making a Donation.

STEP 2

Install Portainer using my step by step guide. If you already have Portainer installed on your UGREEN NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Portainer version.

STEP 3

⚠️Mandatory: Enable HTTPS on your UGREEN NAS.

STEP 4

Create a new hostname on the noip website using your noip account. For example, I have created nocomarius as Host and I use the free ddns.net domain. In the IP Address area, type in your own IPV4 IP address from your ISP, then click Create. Follow the instructions in the image below.

STEP 5

Go to Files and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it nocodb. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

STEP 6

Now create two new folders inside the nocodb folder that you have previosuly created at STEP 5 and name them config and db. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

STEP 7

Follow my step by step guide on how to activate SMTP for your Gmail account. This step is mandatory. Note: If you don’t want to use the easiest way for SMTP with Google and you already have SMTP details from your own Mail Server, you can just skip this STEP and use your personalized email SMTP details instead.

STEP 8

Log into Portainer using your username and password. On the left sidebar in Portainer, click on Home then Live connect. Follow the instructions in the image below.

On the left sidebar in Portainer, click on Stacks then + Add stack. Follow the instructions in the image below.

STEP 9

In the Name field type in nocodb. Follow the instructions in the image below.

Note: Copy Paste the code below in the Portainer Stacks Web editor.

STEP 12

Open your Nginx Proxy Manager container that you have previously installed at STEP 3. Click Add Proxy Host. A new pop up window will open. Add the following details:

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.

STEP 16

Now open your browser and type in your HTTPS/SSL certificate like this https://nocodb.ddns.net In my case it’s https://nocomarius.ddns.net If everything goes right, you will see the NocoDB SIGN IN page. Type in your own E-mail (NC_ADMIN_EMAIL) and your own Password (NC_ADMIN_PASSWORD) that you have previously added at STEP 9 then click SIGN IN. Follow the instructions in the image below.

STEP 17

Now you can create your New Base! On the left sidebar, click + Create Base. Type in your own Base name, then click Create Base. Follow the instructions in the image below.

STEP 18

On the left sidebar, click Overview to check your Base that you have previously created at STEP 17. Click the Members tab, then + Add Members. Follow the instructions in the image below.

STEP 19

Type in the email of the user you want to invite. Select the User Role, then click Invite to Base. Follow the instructions in the image below.

STEP 20

The user will receive an email. If they click Accept Base Invite, they can join your team.
