elestio/lowcoder repository overview

⁠

⁠Lowcoder, verified and packaged by Elestio

Lowcoder⁠ is open source. Developers can create and use their own components instead of depending on official updates.

Deploy a fully managed lowcoder⁠ on elest.io⁠ if you want automated backups, reverse proxy with SSL termination, firewall, automated OS & Software updates, and a team of Linux experts and open source enthusiasts to ensure your services are always safe, and functional.

⁠Why use Elestio images?

• Elestio stays in sync with updates from the original source and quickly releases new versions of this image through our automated processes.
• Elestio images provide timely access to the most recent bug fixes and features.
• Our team performs quality control checks to ensure the products we release meet our high standards.

⁠Usage

⁠Git clone

You can deploy it easily with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/elestio-examples/lowcoder.git

Copy the .env file from tests folder to the project directory

cp ./tests/.env ./.env

Edit the .env file with your own values.

⁠Environment variables

⁠Maintenance

⁠Logging

The Elestio lowcoder Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs, you can use the following command:

docker-compose logs -f

To stop the stack you can use the following command:

docker-compose down

⁠Backup and Restore with Docker Compose

To make backup and restore operations easier, we are using folder volume mounts. You can simply stop your stack with docker-compose down, then backup all the files and subfolders in the folder near the docker-compose.yml file.

Creating a ZIP Archive For example, if you want to create a ZIP archive, navigate to the folder where you have your docker-compose.yml file and use this command:

zip -r myarchive.zip .

Restoring from ZIP Archive To restore from a ZIP archive, unzip the archive into the original folder using the following command:

unzip myarchive.zip -d /path/to/original/folder

Starting Your Stack Once your backup is complete, you can start your stack again with the following command:

docker-compose up -d

That's it! With these simple steps, you can easily backup and restore your data volumes using Docker Compose.
