🐳 Self-hosting Formbricks

Formbricks is available Open-Source under AGPLv3 license. You can host Formbricks on your own servers using Docker without a subscription.

To get started with self-hosting with Docker, take a look at our self-hosting docs.

👨‍💻 Development

Prerequisites

Here is what you need to be able to run Formbricks:

• Node.js - use the version range in package.json or the pinned version in .nvmrc

• Pnpm

• Docker - to run the local development stack, including PostgreSQL, SpiceDB, MailHog, Valkey, RustFS, Hub and Cube services

Local Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install
   

2. Start the local development stack and app:

   pnpm go
   

   pnpm go runs pnpm db:up first. That command creates .env from .env.example when needed, generates the required local secrets, and starts the Docker services from docker-compose.dev.yml.

3. Open http://localhost:3000.

👩‍⚖️ License

The AGPL Formbricks Core

The Formbricks core application is licensed under the AGPLv3 Open Source License. The core application is fully functional and includes everything you need to design & run link surveys, website surveys and in-app surveys. You can use the software for free for personal and commercial use. You're also allowed to create and distribute modified versions as long as you document the changes you make incl. date. The AGPL license requires you to publish your modified version under the AGPLv3 license as well.

The Enterprise Edition

Additional to the AGPL licensed Formbricks core, this repository contains code licensed under an Enterprise license. The code and license for the enterprise functionality can be found in the /apps/web/modules/ee folder of this repository. This additional functionality is not part of the AGPLv3 licensed Formbricks core and is designed to meet the needs of larger teams and enterprises. This advanced functionality is already included in the Docker images, but you need an Enterprise License Key to unlock it.

White-Labeling Formbricks and Other Licensing Needs

We currently do not offer Formbricks white-labeled. That means that we don't sell a license which let's other companies resell Formbricks to third parties under their name nor take parts (like the survey editor) out of Formbricks to add to their own software products. Any other needs? Send us an email.

Why charge for Enterprise Features?

The Enterprise Edition allows us to fund the development of Formbricks sustainably. It guarantees that the free and open-source surveying infrastructure we're building will be around for decades to come.
