> To persist data in docker you can mount volume at `/usr/app/data/` since 0.10.6. Otherwise your data will be lost after recreating the container.
> If you plan to input some special characters, you may need to change the character set and collation yourself when creating the database. Please check out the examples for [MySQL Docker](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/1340#issuecomment-1049481043).

## Environment variables
Please refer to the [Environment variables](https://docs.nocodb.com/getting-started/self-hosted/environment-variables)
# Development Setup

# Why are we building this?
Most internet businesses equip themselves with either spreadsheet or a database to solve their business needs. Spreadsheets are used by Billion+ humans collaboratively every single day. However, we are way off working at similar speeds on databases which are way more powerful tools when it comes to computing. Attempts to solve this with SaaS offerings have meant horrible access controls, vendor lock-in, data lock-in, abrupt price changes & most importantly a glass ceiling on what's possible in the future.
# Our Mission
Our mission is to provide the most powerful no-code interface for databases, accessible to every internet business across the world. By making this capability broadly available under a fair and sustainable model, we aim to democratise access to powerful computing tools and enable a billion-plus people to develop radical tinkering and building abilities on the internet.
