Baserow

Open source no-code database tool and Airtable alternative. Join our forum on https://community.baserow.io/ or on Gitter via https://gitter.im/bramw-baserow/community.

Warning: From version 0.8.0 to 1.4.1 of Baserow the docker-compose.yml included in the root of this repository has exposed an unsecured redis instance by default on the ip:port 0.0.0.0:6379. If you have been running a server which is accessible via the internet using this docker-compose.yml then it is possible this redis server has been exposed to the internet depending on your operating system, networking setup and firewall settings. Please update to the latest version of Baserow, 1.4.2 which no longer exposes the redis, db and mjml containers. Additionally, 1.4.2 only exposes the backend, web-frontend and media containers on localhost and not on 0.0.0.0. If you were previously relying on docker-compose.yml publicly exposing Baserow then please follow the Make Baserow publicly accessible section in the docker how to guide.
