Getting started

Run Dculus Forms locally in two commands.

Dculus Forms is a self-hostable, real-time collaborative, AI-native form builder. This page gets you running locally.

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose
• Node.js 20+ and pnpm, if you want to run the app outside of Docker

Run it

git clone https://github.com/dculussoftwares/dculus-forms
cd dculus-forms
docker compose up

This starts Postgres and the full stack. Postgres and the app run comfortably on 1 vCPU and 2 GB RAM.

For local development without Docker, use pnpm dev to boot the full stack directly.
