Gitpod Setup

This guide explains how to set up Formbricks in a Gitpod workspace.
Requirements:
  • A Gitpod workspace with Node.JS, pnpm, and Docker support.
Steps:
  1. Open the repository in Gitpod. The workspace typically clones the repo automatically. If not:
    git clone https://github.com/formbricks/formbricks && cd formbricks
    
  2. Setup NodeJS with nvm:
    nvm install && nvm use
    
  3. Install dependencies:
    pnpm install
    
  4. Create a .env file:
    cp .env.example .env
    
  5. Generate & set secret values:
    sed -i '/^ENCRYPTION_KEY=/c\ENCRYPTION_KEY='$(openssl rand -hex 32) .env
    sed -i '/^NEXTAUTH_SECRET=/c\NEXTAUTH_SECRET='$(openssl rand -hex 32) .env
    sed -i '/^CRON_SECRET=/c\CRON_SECRET='$(openssl rand -hex 32) .env
    
  6. Run the development setup:
    pnpm go
    
Access the running app via the forwarded port (typically http://localhost:3000 inside Gitpod).
Check your Gitpod settings to ensure Docker is enabled if required.
