Budibase #2404
Description
Activity
The Budibase script is ready for testing. Run it in the Proxmox VE shell (or on an Incus host) to create a container:
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/DevScripts/main/ct/budibase.sh)"There is no default account. Open http:// right after the install and create the admin account on the setup page: until then anyone who reaches port 80 can claim it.
Without a license key Budibase runs its free self-hosted plan: one workspace, unlimited users and rows, no user groups and no custom AI providers. The paid features live in the source-available @budibase/pro package (Business Source License) and are unlocked with a key from account.budibase.app.
Budibase itself is GPLv3. Its internal tables are queried through SQS, a proprietary binary by The Neighbourhoodie Software that Budibase ships in every release and licenses for your own internal business use only (SQS_LICENSE in the repository).
The official image also bundles a LiteLLM proxy for AI agents and custom AI providers, which need a paid plan. It is not installed here; point LITELLM_URL and LITELLM_MASTER_KEY in /opt/budibase_data/.env at your own LiteLLM and run systemctl restart budibase-server to use one.
Install and every update download about 4 GB of npm packages and compile Budibase from source: expect 15 to 30 minutes, mostly downloading, up to about 3.3 GB of RAM and 9 GB of disk. The running stack uses about 2.5 GB of RAM.
Back up /opt/budibase_data as a whole: it holds the CouchDB databases, the object storage with uploads and app assets, the search and SQS indexes, and the .env whose JWT_SECRET, API_ENCRYPTION_KEY and ENCRYPTION_KEY sign sessions and encrypt API keys and stored secrets.
Services: nginx on port 80 in front of budibase-server (4001) and budibase-worker (4002), plus couchdb, budibase-clouseau (search), budibase-sqs, budibase-silo (S3 object storage, a maintained MinIO fork) and redis-server.Note: This is not in the official repo yet—it's just a dev version! After merging into ProxmoxVE, it will need to be recreated.

📋 Script Details
Budibase is a low-code platform for building internal tools: forms, portals, admin panels and approval apps on top of its built-in database or external sources such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, REST APIs and Google Sheets, plus automations triggered by events, schedules or webhooks. This script builds the app server and worker from source and runs them with CouchDB, Clouseau, SQS, Redis, Silo object storage and nginx, without Docker.
