The documentation for OneDB is at docs.one-db.org

OneDB is an open source decentralized backend - it handles user authentication, data storage, and validation, so you can focus on creating a beautiful user interface.

Anyone can host a OneDB instance, and end-users can decide where they want to store their data. This means end-users have complete control and ownership over their data. And by utilizing the existing network of OneDB instances, you can deploy your app for free, forever.

We provide a OneDB instance at one-db.datafire.io which is free for developers. End-users can store up to 10MB of data before getting charged.

You can read more about OneDB, check out the documentation, or continue reading to learn more about the code in this repository.

This repository contains:

• ./server: The OneDB NodeJS server
• ./client: The OneDB JavaScript client
• ./apps: A few sample applications

Building apps on OneDB is free and easy. Just create a data model, write your frontend, and the existing network of OneDB instances will take care of all the data validation and storage.

Check out the Hello World documentation or the sample apps to get started.

If you build an app, let us know and we'll add you to the list of OneDB apps

The full documentation for hosting an instance is on docs.one-db.org

Help us expand the OneDB network by hosting an instance. You'll need:

• A server to host OneDB
• The OneDB server (this repository)
• A MongoDB instance

If you host a public instance, let us know and we'll add you to the list of known hosts

Install the server:

npm install -g onedb-cli

Create your settings in OneDB.yml:

mongodb: "mongodb://localhost:27017"
jwtSecret: "thisisasecret"
host: "https://onedb.example.com"

And start the server:

onedb serve --port 3000
