Deploying ToolJet on Kubernetes

info

You should setup a PostgreSQL database manually to be used by ToolJet.

If you have any questions feel free to join our Slack Community or send us an email at [email protected].

Follow the steps below to deploy ToolJet on a Kubernetes cluster.

  1. Setup a PostgreSQL database ToolJet uses a postgres database as the persistent storage for storing data related to users and apps. We do not have plans to support other databases such as MySQL.

  2. Create a Kubernetes secret with name server. For the minimal setup, ToolJet requires pg_host, pg_db, pg_user, pg_password, secret_key_base & lockbox_key keys in the secret.

    Read environment variables reference

  3. Create a Kubernetes deployment

    kubectl apply -f https://tooljet-deployments.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/kubernetes/deployment.yaml
info

The file given above is just a template and might not suit production environments. You should download the file and configure parameters such as the replica count and environment variables according to your needs.

info

If there are self signed HTTPS endpoints that Tooljet needs to connect to, please make sure that NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS environment variable is set to the absolute path containing the certificates. You can make use of kubernetes secrets to mount the certificate file onto the containers.

  1. Verify if ToolJet is running

     kubectl get pods

  2. Create a Kubernetes services to publish the Kubernetes deployment that you've created. This step varies with cloud providers. We have a template for exposing the ToolJet server as a service using an AWS loadbalancer.

    Examples:

tip

If you want to serve ToolJet client from services such as Firebase or Netlify, please read the client Setup documentation here.

ToolJet Database​

If you intend to use this feature, you'd have to set up and deploy PostgREST server which helps querying ToolJet Database. Please follow the instructions here for additional environment variables configuration to be done.

  1. Setup PostgREST server

     kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ToolJet/ToolJet/main/deploy/kubernetes/postgrest.yaml

  2. Update ToolJet deployment with the appropriate env variables here and apply the changes.

Upgrading to v2.24.3-ee2.10.2​

Version v2.24.3-ee2.10.2 includes architectural changes and, hence, comes with new migrations.

If this is a new installation of the application, you may start directly with version v2.24.3-ee2.10.2. This guide is not required for new installations.

Prerequisites for Upgrading to the Latest Version:​

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

  • Ensure that your current version is v2.23.3-ee2.10.2 before upgrading.

  • Users on versions earlier than v2.23.3-ee2.10.2 must first upgrade to this version before proceeding to v2.24.3-ee2.10.2.
