### Self-Hosted Installation and Setup Questions
#### How have you self-hosted Baserow.
Docker Compose
```auto
services:
baserow:
container_name: baserow
image: baserow/baserow:latest
environment:
BASEROW_PUBLIC_URL: 'https://MY_URL'
WEB_FRONTEND_PORT: 3333
WEB_FRONTEND_SSL_PORT: 3334
ports:
- "3333:80"
- "3334:443"
volumes:
- baserow_data:/baserow/data
volumes:
baserow_data:
```
#### Which version of Baserow are you using.
1.16.0
### Describe the problem
I’m unable to import any Airtable bases into my self-hosted Baserow instance. The same bases import just fine to an account on [baserow.io](http://baserow.io), but not my local version. The import process crashes at 42% and I just get the “Something went wrong” message. Logs below.
The bases in question are ~2,500 rows, ~5 tables, ~20 columns so nothing very large.
#### Please attach full logs from all of Baserow’s services

Hi @Manny, firstly, my apologies for the delayed response. It’s strange that the imports work fine on [baserow.io](http://baserow.io), but not in your local environment. I’ve double-checked, and we haven’t introduced changes to the Airtable import on [baserow.io](http://baserow.io) since the release of 1.16. Is it a possibility that you share the publicly shared Airtable base with so that I can try to reproduce the problem myself? This will give me more insights in what’s going wrong.

Sure thing. Here’s a link to one of the bases. I just re-tested it to make sure I got the same error and it didn’t stop making that strange noise as soon as I got to the mechanic’s.

I’ve also restarted the Docker container, as well as the machine itself a few times to no avail.

Hi @Manny, thank you for sharing your base. The good news is that I’ve been able to reproduce your problem. This somehow only seems to happen if you run the Docker all-in-one image. If you run the normal development environment, even on version 1.16.0, it does work as expected. We’re going to look into this.

After some debugging, we learned that it’s related to a bug in our code. We’ve already fixed it ([Fix wrong empty grid view during airtable import bug (!1413) · Merge requests · Baserow / baserow · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/baserow/baserow/-/merge_requests/1413)), and it will be released in version 1.17 upcoming Tuesday, May 16. I’m sorry about the inconvenience.

Oh, awesome! Thank you for hunting this down. I’ll look forward to the update.

Just closing the loop here to confirm that this indeed fixed all the issues I was having. Now everything imports perfectly. Thanks again for the fix.
