Thanks for creating this video and the help!

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

My pleasure, and thank you for creating this amazing bit of software, and for making it open source!

[@momodoubjallow2585]

We should be thanking you. This awesome and as a product manager this helps be to bring product idea to my management quite easy.

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

@@momodoubjallow2585 Super glad you like it. I agree, and as a PM, that's my goal as well.

[@OstrichProduction]

Great Video! Just logged an issue on github with Code to get this running with a few clicks on Caprover. Thank you for the tool. Will be using this a lot!

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

Great to hear!

[@kuzco7061]

Thank you for this video and for going through the docker installation with us!! Very helpful!

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

You are welcome!

[@ilovesamosa]

Excellent work by Quant team and you. Thank you both.

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

Thank you too!

[@saito4422]

Thx Looks great, I will try it for my next project to mockup.

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I use it a lot for quick mock ups, kind of sad I don't get to use all of the features for it though.

[@godarayudhvir]

Just Signed up, saved it for later really gonna come in handy soon

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

Awesome!

[@robinklaiss]

QuantUX is amazing I love it!

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

Me too. I need to pull the latest stuff so I can get a new Docker image created.

[@closetgeek]

I've been looking for open source prototyping tools lately, I'm a huge fan of Axure and use it in my daily use for work. But one thing I hate is that it's so rarely cited in videos and articles about the topic. I almost immediately dismiss them as "not serious" or at least, not serious enough for the level of detail and interaction I require. Citing it as one of your examples right at the beginning told me that your opinion on this is something I can trust.

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I appreciate it. Azure is some amazing stuff for prototyping, and while Quant isn’t there yet, it’s still really great, and the developer has been adding some really great stuff coming soon to give a power boost for sure.

[@benjamink7311]

Awesome job brother

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@AverageJoe928]

Great video and software! Given that you do prototyping for your day job, any thoughts on how this stacks up to more established software? Are there specific features or use cases where this might be lacking compared to paid options? Also, have you checked out Inventree? It's a general use inventory manager that's had some impressive development. I'm surprised how little visibility its gotten given how good it is.

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I fully believe that for mock-ups and prototyping, this could easily replace any needs I've had with paid alternatives. Additionally, many of those alternatives don't have the testing stats I showed near the end of the video, whereas this has it built in. On a lot of paid platforms, you have a separate application for the stats, that you then also pay more to use.

[@chaysx177]

will you do a vid on portmaster (safing)? , thanks.

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I actually checked out portmaster a while back and no matter what I did, it blocked everything. I had to uninstall it completely to get any connectivity back. I'll try to tackle it again when I have a bit more time. It looked really great, but maybe worked too well, hahaha.

[@chaysx177]

@@AwesomeOpenSource Thanks a lot for replying, It has been getting many updates lately and has a really nice GUI so I thought you might like it, As other alternatives looks complicated and outdated.

[@Equilibrier]

Hi ! Very nice, and I tried this and it worked, just before the mongo server started to crash, will try with other versions like you do in this video, but ONE question, please: How do I modify the fe docker image to retrieve the source code from another repo, cloned from the official quantux repo ? I'm a newbie in docker, but I cloned Klaus's repo and made another version of quantux with my features in it, and I would like to benefit from your docker integration work. Thanks!

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

On my github site, where I keep this project, you can clone down the dockerfile, then change the source it clones, and rebuild the qux-fe image. github.com/bmcgonag/quant-ux-docker

[@Equilibrier]

@@AwesomeOpenSource Succeeded that. Many thanks !

[@phainesthai]

I got it running the other day, but wanted it on a different server of mine, did exactly the same followed your setup, get to the login page, but does not want to register me as a user, when I check the mongo db database folder, there is absolutely nothing in it. When I try to login with the username & password I created is says password too short. I has something to do with the db volumes folder.

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

Hmmm. Not sure why it would be doing that. Did you try to move the db folder over from the original install?

[@eeevans]

Awsome video! I had it up and running in a few seconds with your instructions. My next question is how can I add my self-signed cert so that I get SSL? I'm only running it visible in my local network and one could argue it's not needed but it would be nice. It's internal so I can't use Let's Encrypt thus the self-signed. I have seen instructions how to do this for nginx but I'm not sure how this is published. Any ideas?

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I would personally setup NGinX Proxy Manager, and then upload your self signed certs to that, and apply them to your site with a local URL. Proxying the URL to the IP and port.

[@eeevans]

@@AwesomeOpenSource is there a video on how to do that?

[@slimshaddycoetzee5146]

it would be easier if there was a deb file or appimage for a newbie this wont make sense two different install guides its kind confusing

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I don't think I have 2 guides here. You need to setup docker and docker-compose, but those can then be used to run many applications. After than, you run the install for Quant UX. It's a web based application, and there is a lot more than just local access available in it. You can provide access to others to do user experience testing and get information through the Quant-UX system.

[@benjamink7311]

Bro i am unable to signup because it says too short password even my password is long and secure. please help

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I'm not sure why you're hitting that issue. I just download the latest version, on a fresh machine, and started it up, and created an account with a 10 character password. I'm not sure what the minimum is...but 10 worked for me. Are there any logs in docker? You can use the command docker-compose logs to see any logs that are created, and see if there are any errors or issues.
