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.
