What a business may do with it

Not identifiedNOASSERTION

GitHub could not match this licence to a standard one. It may be custom or source-available; read the repository’s LICENSE file before relying on it.

This describes the licence family GitHub identified, not legal advice about this project. The repository’s own LICENSE file is what binds you.

Run it yourself

Docker, quoted from ActiveWorkflow’s own README as written. We have not run it, and most projects expect you to set secrets or a database before production use.

docker run -p 3000:3000 --rm automaticmode/active_workflow

Where this page comes from

  • Stars, licence, activity, issues, releases and the self-host command are read from the repository. 2026-10-19
  • The pairing with Make and Zapier and the category come from opensourcealternative.to, a community directory of open-source alternatives. We re-read it weekly.
  • Star momentum comes from our own daily readings of the repository. How we collect data
