Deploying ToolJet on Azure container apps

info

Please note that you need to set up a PostgreSQL database manually to be used by ToolJet. Additionally, you must set up a Redis service through Azure Cache for Redis.

Deploying ToolJet application

1. Open the Azure dashboard at https://portal.azure.com, navigate to Container Apps, and click on "Create container app".

2. Select the appropriate subscription and provide basic details such as the container name.

3. In the container tab, uncheck the "Use quickstart image" option to select the image source manually.

• Make sure to provide the image tag, and then enter server/entrypoint.sh, npm, run, start:prod in the "Command override" field.
• Add the following ToolJet application variables under the "Environmental variable" section. You can refer to this documentation for more information on environment variables.

Note: ToolJet requires:

• TOOLJET_DB
• TOOLJET_DB_HOST
• TOOLJET_DB_USER
• TOOLJET_DB_PASS
• PG_HOST
• PG_DB
• PG_USER
• PG_PASS
• SECRET_KEY_BASE
• LOCKBOX_KEY

4. In the ingress tab, configure Ingress and Authentication settings as shown below. You can customize the security configurations as per your requirements. Make sure the port is set to 3000.

5. Click on "Review + create" and wait for the template to be verified and passed, as shown in the screenshot below.

6. Once the container is deployed, you can verify its status under revision management.

You can access ToolJet via the application URL provided in the overview tab.

Redis Setup

ToolJet requires Redis for multiplayer editing and background jobs.

If you already have Redis configured, you can use your existing setup. Otherwise, you can create a new Redis service by following these instructions.

Create a Redis Instance

• Create a Redis instance with the minimum required specifications.

Choose Network Settings

• Select your preferred network settings based on your setup.

Configure TLS Port

• Choose your preferred settings for the TLS port.

Review and Create

• Click on "Review + create" and wait for the template to be verified and passed.

Upgrading to the Latest LTS Version

New LTS versions are released every 3-5 months with an end-of-life of atleast 18 months. To check the latest LTS version, visit the ToolJet Docker Hub page. The LTS tags follow a naming convention with the prefix LTS- followed by the version number, for example tooljet/tooljet:ee-lts-latest.

If this is a new installation of the application, you may start directly with the latest version. This guide is not required for new installations.

Prerequisites for Upgrading to the Latest LTS Version:

• It is crucial to perform a comprehensive backup of your database before starting the upgrade process to prevent data loss.

• Users on versions earlier than v2.23.0-ee2.10.2 must first upgrade to this version before proceeding to the LTS version.
