Grist
Spreadsheet that works like a database, with typed columns, Python formulas, linked tables, charts and forms.
Install Grist
It isn't in the main Portainer Templates list yet, so use this one. Portainer takes one URL at a time, so it swaps out whatever list you had before.
In Portainer, head to Settings --> App Templates, paste this in as the URL and save.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NotAFlightRisk/portainer-templates-extras/main/templates.json - Open App Templates and pick Grist.
- Fill in Session secret. Everything else can stay as it is.
- Hit Deploy the stack, then open
http://<your-server>:8484in a browser.
The same file Portainer deploys. It reads its settings from a .env next to it.

docker compose up -dBefore you start
Set the session secret before you deploy, since the stack won't start without one. Then open http://<your-host>:8484 (or whichever port you picked). It asks for a boot key first, which Grist prints in the container's logs every time it starts (look for BOOT KEY), then an admin email, then walks you through Quick setup. Take care on its sign-in step: No authentication means anyone who can reach the port can open and edit everything, so only pick it on a private network. Sign in with getgrist.com and forwarded headers (for Authelia and the like) are the free options, and OIDC needs an activation key. The last step has product telemetry switched on, so untick it there if you'd rather it didn't. Documents, users and settings all live in the grist-data volume. Docs: support.getgrist.com/self-managed
