Teable on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Teable on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Teable is an open source no code database and a self hosted alternative to Airtable. It turns a real PostgreSQL database into a friendly spreadsheet like interface, organising your data into spaces, bases and tables that you edit in grid, kanban, gallery, form and calendar views, with formulas, links, rollups, filtering, grouping and a full REST API, all through a modern web interface run and owned inside your own cloud account.

What is included

• Teable, the AGPL 3.0 self hosted open source core, pinned by image digest
• A bundled PostgreSQL and Redis, pinned by digest and reachable only inside a private container network
• Docker Engine with Teable on the loopback interface behind nginx on port 80
• A unique session signing key, JWT secret, token encryption key, database password, cache password and a pre seeded owner administrator generated per VM on first boot
• Public sign up disabled both at the reverse proxy and in the application, so no one can self register on your instance
• A clean, empty database on first boot with no default account and no shipped secret
• 24/7 cloudimg support

Secure by default

In self hosted Teable the first account created becomes the administrator, which is a risk on a public server. This image closes it: on first boot, before the port is reachable, a unique owner administrator is created with a per VM password, so the administrator role is already claimed. Public sign up is then disabled in the application and blocked at the reverse proxy, so no attacker can self register, and the session and token secrets are unique per VM so sessions cannot be forged. PostgreSQL and Redis are never exposed on a host port.
