FAQ

Thingsboard FAQ

Still curious? Email info@appsgit.com.

Is Thingsboard free and open source?

Not by the OSI definition. Thingsboard is source-available rather than open source: its code is public under the BSL 1.1, which is not an OSI-approved open-source license. The Business Source License lets you read, modify and self-host the code, but production use is limited to what its Additional Use Grant allows, and each release converts to an open-source license after a set date. Check the license in the repository before using it commercially.

Can I run Thingsboard with Docker?

Yes. Thingsboard provides a Docker image, so you can run it on any Linux server with Docker and Docker Compose installed. The project README lists the image name and the environment variables to set.

What are the best alternatives to Thingsboard?

Popular self-hosted alternatives to Thingsboard include Home Assistant, Tasmota and Node RED.
