AITable.ai provides more Enterprise-ready Embedding features for securities.

Before you begin:

• A host with docker and docker-compose v2 installed.
• 4 CPUs/8GB RAM or more are recommended.
• A bash shell with basic utilities like curl installed.
• Native arm64 (apple silicon) container images is not ready yet and may cause bad performance.

To install apitable using docker compose, open your terminal and run this:

curl https://apitable.github.io/install.sh | bash

Then open http://localhost:80 in your browser to visit it.

We also provide an all-in-one image based on pm2 for demo or testing purpose (not recommended for enterprise or production usage):

sudo docker run -d -v ${PWD}/.data:/apitable -p 80:80 --name apitable apitable/all-in-one:latest

Depending on your environment, you may need to wait several minutes for all the services to start. This image is amd64 (x86_64) only, you may encounter pretty bad performance on arm64 or apple silicon.
