Hi there,

Can you help me understand the limitations of self-hosting?

Grist looks like a great tool and I want to implement it at my org but we don’t have the budget for paid subscriptions- however we do have 24hr servers strong enough to support self-hosting Grist and a PostgreSQL backend if needed.

These are my requirements:

  • Worksheet 1 supports up to 15k rows and up to 100 columns, 30 columns have formulas
  • Worksheet 2 supports up to 15k rows and up to 45 columns, 38 columns have formulas
  • Can support up to 15 concurrent users in the worksheet
  • Formulas reference other worksheets
  • Supports multiple worksheets and allows csv import to add rows
  • Cell with formulas can be overwritten
  • Live/real-time updates
  • Users can add, update, delete, read, import csv and export csv data

I am most concerned about the top 3 requirements, while the remaining requirements drew me to finding Grist. I would love to use this tool :slight_smile:

Thanks,

Isabella

I would expect all of that to work fine. There are some numbers on the basic hardware requirements here:

Thank you Paul! That’s really helpful, I was able to confirm that our hardware can support self-hosting :slight_smile:

Do you know if the Grist Community edition would support these requirements? I am most concerned about row limit and having many concurrent users

Thanks,

Isabella

The community edition doesn’t have limits on rows or concurrent users, beyond what your hardware can do.
