Prerequisites

• If you have not already done so, sign up for an Eyevinn OSC account.

Step 1: Setup a Postgres Vector Database

Navigate to the Postgres Vector service in the Open Source Cloud web console and decide for a database password that you store in a secret. For instructions on how to work with secrets in Open Source Cloud read this guide. Store the password in a secret called dbpassword.

Now click on the "Create database" button and enter the following values:

• Name: formbricks
• PostgresPassword: {{secrets.dbpassword}}
• PostgresUser: formbricks
• PostgresDb: formbricks

Now the Postgres database is created and once it is up and running take a note of the URL to the database. The URL is constructed as postgresql://formbricks:<db-password>@<instance-ip>:<instance-port>/formbricks.

Replace the <db-password>, <instance-ip> and <instance-port> with the values of your instance.

Step 2: Create Formbricks instance

Now it is time to create your Formbricks instance. Navigate to its service page in OSC. Store the URL to the Postgres database in a secret called psql.

Click on the button "Create automatisch" and enter the following parameters.

• Name: guide
• PostgresUrl: {{secrets.psql}}

Once the instance is up and running you can click on the instance card.
