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.

Run via Docker

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
