sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social 3 weeks agoI have a similar tracker in Airtable that I started a few years ago, but I outgrew their free plan a while ago (4000+ rows). I’ve been looking at SeaTable, NocoDB, and Baserow to migrate my data to recently, but keep running into various limitations. I like what you are doing here with the self-hosted option.

Oh cool. I just ran across Baserow and ran with it. I did at Airtable and saw it had limitations on rows. It seems like Airtable is probably more capable/polished/has fewer bugs, but Baserow seems to work great and it’s open source, etc. Self hosting still locks down a lot of features without a subscription, but row limits isn’t a problem.
Maybe I’ll peak at the other ones you mentioned.

Would you mind if I played around with importing some of the data from Airtable into your Baserow instance? I’m not sure if the instance has any hard constraints, so I don’t want to just port the whole thing over.
If so, feel free to use any of that data that is pertinent for the SDS.

Sure, feel free! What type of data are you referring to?
There aren’t many constraints on self-hosted Baserow… No row limits, etc. Just a bunch of other paywalled stuff.
The SSD in my server is pretty large so I don’t imagine any baserow databases making a dent.
