  - 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**](/docs/setup/env-vars) 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**

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

## Redis Setup

[ToolJet](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/tooljet/tooljet/general) 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.

</div>
 
 **Choose Network Settings**

- Select your preferred network settings based on your setup. 

<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>

**Configure TLS Port**

- Choose your preferred settings for the TLS port.

</div>

**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](https://hub.docker.com/r/tooljet/tooljet/tags) 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.
