Fork Notice: This is OpenStockIndia, a specialized fork of OpenStock by Open Dev Society, optimized specifically for the Indian stock market (BSE). This fork is maintained separately as a permanent India-focused variant (mostly for my personal use).
© Open Dev Society (Original Project). This fork is licensed under AGPL-3.0; if you modify, redistribute, or deploy it (including as a web service), you must release your source code under the same license and credit the original authors.
OpenStockIndia is an open-source stock market tracking platform specifically built for Indian investors. Track BSE stocks in real-time, explore detailed company insights, set personalized alerts, and access Indian market data — built openly, for everyone, forever free.
Note: OpenStockIndia is community-built and not a brokerage. Market data may be delayed based on provider rules and your configuration. Nothing here is financial advice.
This fork is specifically optimized for the Indian stock market with the following enhancements:
- BSE Stock Integration: Full support for Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) stocks via TradingView Widgets and Alpha Vantage API
- Indian Stock Screener: Advanced screening tools tailored for Indian equities
- Popular BSE Stocks: Quick access to top Indian stocks (Reliance, TCS, HDFC Bank, Infosys, and more)
- ETF Heatmap: Visualize Indian ETF performance at a glance
- Localized Experience: Symbol formats, charts, and widgets configured for Indian markets
This is a permanent separate fork maintained independently from the original OpenStock project. While we respect and credit the original Open Dev Society project, OpenStockIndia will continue to evolve specifically for Indian market needs.

OpenStockIndia is a modern stock market platform specifically designed for Indian investors, powered by Next.js (App Router), shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS, Better Auth for authentication, MongoDB for persistence, TradingView widgets for charts and market views, Alpha Vantage for comprehensive BSE stock search and data, Finnhub for market news. This India Edition focuses exclusively on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) with localized features, popular Indian stocks, screeners, and ETF tracking tailored for the Indian market.
We live in a world where knowledge is hidden behind paywalls. Where tools are locked in subscriptions. Where information is twisted by bias. Where newcomers are told they’re not “good enough” to build.
We believe there’s a better way.
- Our Belief: Technology should belong to everyone. Knowledge should be open, free, and accessible. Communities should welcome newcomers with trust, not gatekeeping.
- Our Mission: Build free, open-source projects that make a real difference:
- Tools that professionals and students can use without barriers.
- Knowledge platforms where learning is free, forever.
- Communities where every beginner is guided, not judged.
- Resources that run on trust, not profit.
- Our Promise: We will never lock knowledge. We will never charge for access. We will never trade trust for money. We run on transparency, donations, and the strength of our community.
- Our Call: If you’ve ever felt you didn’t belong, struggled to find free resources, or wanted to build something meaningful — you belong here.
Because the future belongs to those who build it openly.

Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/Open-Dev-Society/OpenStock.git
cd OpenStock
# choose one:
pnpm install
# or
npm installConfigure environment
- Create a
.envfile (see Environment Variables). - Verify DB connectivity:
pnpm test:db
# or
npm run test:dbRun development
# Next.js dev (Turbopack)
pnpm dev
# or
npm run devRun Inngest locally (workflows, cron, AI)
npx inngest-cli@latest devBuild & start (production)
pnpm build && pnpm start
# or
npm run build && npm startOpen http://localhost:3000 to view the app.
You can run OpenStock and MongoDB easily with Docker Compose.
-
Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed.
-
docker-compose.yml includes two services:
- openstock (this app)
- mongodb (MongoDB database with a persistent volume)
- Create your
.env(see examples below). For the Docker setup, use a local connection string like:
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://root:example@mongodb:27017/openstock?authSource=admin- Start the stack:
# from the repository root
docker compose up -d mongodb && docker compose up -d --build- Access the app:
- App: http://localhost:3000
- MongoDB is available inside the Docker network at host mongodb:27017
Notes
- The app service depends_on the mongodb service.
- Credentials are defined in Compose for the MongoDB root user; authSource=admin is required on the connection string for root.
- Data persists across restarts via the docker volume.
Optional: Example MongoDB service definition used in this project:
services:
mongodb:
image: mongo:7
container_name: mongodb
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: example
ports:
- "27017:27017"
volumes:
- mongo-data:/data/db
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "mongosh", "--eval", "db.adminCommand('ping')"]
interval: 10s
timeout: 5s
retries: 5
volumes:
mongo-data:Create .env at the project root. Choose either a hosted MongoDB (Atlas) URI or the local Docker URI.

- Keep private keys server-side whenever possible.
- If using
NEXT_PUBLIC_variables, remember they are exposed to the browser. - In production, prefer a dedicated SMTP provider over a personal Gmail.
- Do not hardcode secrets in the Dockerfile; use
.envand Compose.
