Deploying ToolJet on Openshift

info

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

Follow the steps below to deploy ToolJet on Openshift.

  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

  1. Once you have logged into the Openshift developer dashboard click on +Add tab. Select import YAML from the local machine.
