Kung sawa ka na sa form builders na may limit sa responses o naka-lock sa platform nila, check mo 'to. Sinagot ko na yung mga usual na tanong

Ano 'to?
Open-source, no-code form builder. Pwede kang gumawa ng forms, surveys, registration, feedback forms, at iba pang data collection nang di nagko-code. Dalawa yung paraan para gamitin siya: OpnForm Cloud (sila nagho-host, sign up lang) o self-host gamit Docker sa sarili mong server.

• Maraming field types: text, date, URL, file uploads, at iba pa
• Conditional logic, validation, at computed fields (calculations)
• Pre-fill gamit URL parameters
• Share via link o i-embed sa website mo
• View, search, at export ng submissions
• API access at webhooks para ma-connect sa ibang tools

Paano dumadaan yung form at submissions · Diagram made for this thread, based on the OpnForm README, docs, at pricing page​

Libre ba talaga?
Oo, may free plan, pero may features na naka-Pro. Eto yung breakdown based sa official pricing page:

• Free (Cloud): unlimited forms at submissions, file uploads hanggang 10MB, logic, computed fields, API access, at basic integrations (Email, Webhook, Zapier, Google Sheets). 1 workspace lang, at may OpnForm branding yung forms mo.
• Pro pataas (Cloud): pag-alis ng branding, custom domain, Slack/#forbidden#/Telegram notifications, analytics dashboard, captcha, password-protected forms, at yung built-in AI form generation.
• Self-host (Community Edition): free at open source, unlimited forms at submissions, pero max 2 users lang sa buong instance at may branding pa rin. Need ng ρáíd Enterprise license kung gusto mo ng mas maraming users o alisin yung branding.

Di ko na nilagay yung exact prices kasi pwedeng magbago, check niyo na lang sa official site.

Cloud free plan vs self-host, side by side · Made for this thread, based on the OpnForm pricing page at docs​

Saan pwede?

• Cloud: kahit anong browser, PC o phone. Walang install.
• Self-host: kahit anong server o PC na may Docker (VPS, home server, NAS). Walang official na RAM o CPU minimum sa docs na nakita ko, kaya pa-share na lang ng setup niyo sa baba.

Ano yung MCP?
Pwede mong i-connect yung OpnForm sa AI agents na may MCP support, like ᑕᕼᗩTGᑭT, Claude Code, Cursor, at Codex. Sa Cloud, pwede kang magpagawa ng form draft sa AI at i-preview muna kahit wala ka pang account. Pag nag-login ka via OAuth, kaya na rin niyang mag-save at mag-manage ng forms mo at magbasa ng submissions (search, stats, export). Read-only lang yung access niya sa submissions, at hihingi muna siya ng confirm bago mag-publish o mag-trash ng form.

Sa self-host, naka-off by default yung MCP. Kailangan i-enable ng admin, naka-HTTPS yung instance, at laging need ng account.

Anong catch?

• May OpnForm branding sa free Cloud at sa free self-host
• Slack, #forbidden#, analytics, at captcha: Pro plan pataas sa Cloud
• Free self-host: max 2 users sa buong instance
• Pag self-host, ikaw bahala sa server, SSL, updates, at backups
• Yung Enterprise features nasa hiwalay na proprietary license, hindi AGPL

Safe ba?
Open source yung core (AGPL-3.0), may security policy sa repo, at active yung development. Latest release na nakita ko: v2.5.0 (September 2, 2026). Pero kadalasan personal info yung laman ng forms (name, email, number), kaya:

• Sa Cloud, sa servers ng OpnForm naka-store yung submissions. Sa self-host, sa server mo.
• Kung ipapabasa mo yung submissions sa AI agent, mapupunta yung data na 'yon sa AI service na gamit mo. Ipabasa lang kung kailangan talaga.
• Sabihin sa mga sasagot kung para saan yung info nila, at wag nang mangolekta ng di kailangan.
• Wag i-share publicly yung MCP draft preview links. Private links daw 'yon based sa docs.

Paano mag-start?
Cloud (pinakamadali): mag-sign up sa official site (nasa link sa baba), tapos gawa ka na ng form.

Self-host (Docker):

1. Install muna yung Docker at Git sa server mo.
2. I-clone yung repo:
   

   git clone <repo URL sa link sa baba>
   cd OpnForm

3. I-run yung setup script. Palitan yung domain ng sa'yo (HTTPS para sa production):
   

   chmod +x scripts/docker-setup.sh
   ./scripts/docker-setup.sh --public-url https://<domain mo>

   Pang-test lang sa sarili mong PC? Tanggalin yung --public-url tapos buksan yung You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.
4. Gumawa ng admin account sa setup page na lalabas. After setup, naka-off na yung public registration, kaya mag-invite ka na lang ng user (max 2 sa free).

Windows user? Sabi ng docs, i-check na LF yung line endings ng scripts (git config core.autocrlf false, tapos dos2unix api/artisan gamit Git Bash o WSL). Kung hindi, pwedeng ma-stuck sa "Waiting for DB to be ready."

Basahin muna
Hindi ako yung dev at hindi ako affiliated sa OpnForm. Galing sa official GitHub README, docs, at pricing page nila yung info dito (checked October 31, 2026), kaya pwedeng magbago anytime yung features, plans, o limits. Di ko pa personally na-try, share ko lang based sa official info. Kung gagamit ka ng AI agent via MCP, pwedeng magkamali yung AI sa paggawa ng form, kaya i-review muna bago i-publish. Follow niyo yung AGPL-3.0 license at terms nila, and use at your own risk.
