๐Ÿš€ Just Discovered Aitable.io: A Promising Airtable Alternative with Open Source Potential! ๐ŸŒŸ reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- berndito ยท 2023-11-07 14:34 Hey fellow Redditors, I recently stumbled upon a new player in the Airtable alternative game, and it's making some waves. Meet Aitable.io โ€“ previously known as API Table, and it's got me intrigued for several reasons. ๐Ÿ†“ **Feature-Rich Free Plan:** The first thing that caught my eye is the abundance of features available on their free plan, things that Airtable usually reserves for their paid users. ๐Ÿ”“ **Open Source & Self-Hostable:** Aitable.io is open source, and you can even self-host it as a full-featured web app. They've got a GitHub repository, and here's the link: [Aitable.io GitHub](https://github.com/apitable/apitable). ๐Ÿค” **Mystery of Limited Buzz:** What's baffling me is why there's so little chatter about this new challenger. Other platforms like NocoDB and Baserow seem to be getting more attention. Is there something special or hidden behind the scenes that we're missing? ๐Ÿง **Huawei Connection:** Digging deeper into their setup, I noticed some suspicious variables linked to a Huawei account. What's the deal with these variables? What exactly do you get when you download all these containers? Any insights? ๐Ÿ“ฆ **Complex Setup:** Their setup involves various elements like Minio, RabbitMQ, Redis, Postgres Database Services, and more in a docker- compose.yml. It doesn't seem like a plug-and-play solution; you might need to dive deep to get it up and running. ๐Ÿ’ก **Backup Challenges:** Speaking of diving deep, understanding how to back up the whole system in case of self-hosting might be a puzzle. Anyone here with experience on this? Do any of you fantastic folks have more insights or details about Aitable.io? I'm genuinely curious and would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Let's uncover the potential of this intriguing Airtable challenger together! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€‹ Cheers, Berndito ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rrrmmmrrrmmm ยท 2023-11-07 14:43 This looks nice indeed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- berndito ยท 2023-11-07 15:02 Yes, it's a really nice UI. What do you think about the setup (docker-compose.yml)? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zierbeek ยท 2023-11-07 15:14 This seems like an advertisement and written in chatgpt. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- berndito ยท 2023-11-07 15:18 Sorry, no advertisment. But yes: I admit it's written with ChatGPT. As I am not a native speaker, I tried to polish it a bit. But I guess it sounds too much like a sales ad. Sorry for that. My real intention is: I am interested in this service, but I hardly find anything on the internet. No videos, no tests, no tutorials... This somehow doesn't match with the very professional UI and service they built. Also what I already mentioned: It is a bit suspicious, if they connect their service to Huawei cloud in the selfhosted version. **Would really apreciate to get more insights!**
