What's installed on your Baserow server?
- Baserow 2.4.1 on the official all-in-one image
- PostgreSQL and the cache inside the same container, so there's no separate database to run
- An administrator account, with the login email and password in your panel
- New sign-ups closed, so nobody can register from outside
- HTTPS through Caddy on an sslip.io address based on your IP
- Firewall with only ports 22, 80 and 443 open
What size do you need for Baserow?
Baserow's install docs don't give hardware figures. As a rule of thumb, start with 4 GB, because the all-in-one image runs the web server, the API, PostgreSQL, the cache and background workers together on one server. Look at 8 GB for large tables or many people working at once. File fields fill the disk. You can grow RAM, CPU and disk separately from your panel, and your data and IP address stay the same.
| Use | Size | Price | Choose |
|---|---|---|---|
| A few people | 4 GB RAM · 2 vCore · 60 GB NVMe | $6.89/mo | |
| Small team | 8 GB RAM · 4 vCore · 120 GB NVMe | $13.62/mo | |
| Company | 16 GB RAM · 8 vCore · 200 GB NVMe | $25.15/mo |

- Log in with the details from the Email and Password rows, then put your real email address in your profile.

Good to know
- Baserow's interface isn't available in Turkish. You'll use it in English or another supported language.
- Grid, Gallery and Form views are free. Kanban, Calendar, Timeline and row comments need Premium, and role-based permissions and SSO need Advanced. Licences aren't included in the price.
- The install doesn't set up outgoing email. Until EMAIL_SMTP is set, Baserow only writes emails to its logs instead of sending them. Add the SMTP variables to compose.yaml.
- The login email starts as a placeholder address. Put your real one in your profile.
- Updates are your responsibility. The image is pinned to 2.4.1: change the tag and restart, and Baserow upgrades itself. Back up first.
Baserow questions and answers
How much RAM does Baserow need?
Baserow's install docs don't give a RAM figure. As a rule of thumb, start with 4 GB, and look at 8 GB for large tables or many people working at once. If it isn't enough, you scale up from your panel.
Is Baserow free on your own server?
Yes. The core is MIT licensed, and on your own server there's no limit on rows, storage or API requests. Premium, Advanced and Enterprise features are paid. Those licences come from Baserow and aren't part of your Seturack price.
Can I move from Airtable to Baserow?
Yes. When you add a new database in Baserow, paste a public Airtable share link into the Import from Airtable tab. Tables, records and attachments come across. Formula fields, automations and access settings have to be rebuilt.
Does Baserow have Kanban and calendar views?
Yes, on the Premium plan. The free plan has Grid, Gallery and Form views. You buy the Premium licence from Baserow and enter it on your own server, and it isn't included in the price.
How do I add teammates to Baserow?
Invite them by email from your workspace. New sign-ups are closed, but an invited person can still create an account. For the invitation to arrive, you first need to add SMTP settings to compose.yaml.
Can I connect to Baserow with an API?
Yes. Baserow offers a REST API and an OpenAPI spec for your tables, with no request limit on your own server. You can read and write data from your own app and use webhooks to notify other systems.
