Dapta Forms is open source under the MIT license. The full source lives at github.com/Dapta-Tech/dapta-forms, and you are free to read it, fork it, change it and run your own copy.
What is in the repository
Dapta Forms is two applications that deploy independently:
The web app: the public form pages and the whole dashboard (forms list, editor, submissions, analytics, settings).
The API: the public submission surface plus the account-scoped dashboard endpoints.
Both ship as Docker images, both run on any host that runs Node, and neither needs a third-party service to boot. The repository also carries the documentation you need to run it: README.md for the local development loop, SELF-HOSTING.md for production, ARCHITECTURE.md for how the pieces fit and .env.example for every setting with inline notes.
💡 Tip: Contributions are welcome.
CONTRIBUTING.mdin the repository explains the pull request rules, andSECURITY.mdexplains how to report a vulnerability privately.

What's next
