Running On-Premise
Run the Universal Data Tool on your infrastructure.
For small companies or projects, you might want to consider just using the Desktop Application or udt.dev, which requires less setup!
The Universal Data Tool can be run and customized on your own infrastructure easily. This is best for users who want to keep their version of Universal Data Tool stable, and don't need new features from weekly releases. You may also want to keep your data within your network.
The Universal Data Tool builds docker containers on every new release. You can run the Universal Data Tool using...
# Starts the Universal Data Tool on port 3000 and a collaborative server on 3001
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -p 3001:3001 \
-e UDT_collaborationServer_url=http://localhost:3001 \
universaldatatool/universaldatatool
You can provide different options to the docker container to control various aspects of Universal Data Tool. Below is a table of a few of the configuration parameters can customize. You'll know if a configuration value is used because it will appear in the starting logs like the following image...
Configuration values are shown in a table on start

UDT_collaborationServer_url | Collaboration server URL |
UDT_pluginUrls | Comma-delimited URLs to plugins that should be loaded by default |

# via npm
npm install -g udt-collaboration-server
udt-collaboration-server --port 3001
