*If you have any questions feel free to join our [Slack Community](https://tooljet.com/slack) or send us an email at hello@tooljet.com.*
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Follow the steps below to deploy ToolJet on Heroku:
|
||
|
||
1. Click the button below to start one click deployment.
|
||
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
|
||
|
||
[](https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/tooljet/tooljet/tree/main)
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
2. On Heroku tab, you'll be asked to provide an `App name` and `Choose a region`. Enter the name for your deployment and select the region according to your choice.
|
||
|
||
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
|
||
|
||
<img className="screenshot-full" src="/img/setup/heroku/appname.png" alt="heroku appname" />
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
3. Now let's enter the `Config vars` to configure additional [environment variables](/docs/setup/env-vars) that are required for the installation.
|
||
- **LOCKBOX_MASTER_KEY**: ToolJet server uses lockbox to encrypt datasource credentials. You should set the environment variable LOCKBOX_MASTER_KEY with a 32 byte hexadecimal string. If you have OpenSSL installed, you can run the command `openssl rand -hex 32` to generate the key.
|
||
- **NODE_ENV**: By default NODE_ENV is set to production.
|
||
- **NODE_OPTIONS**: Node options are configured to increase node memory to support app build.
|
||
- **SECRET_KEY_BASE**: ToolJet server uses a secure 64 byte hexadecimal string to encrypt session cookies. You should set the environment variable SECRET_KEY_BASE. If you have OpenSSL installed, you can run the command `openssl rand -hex 64` to generate the key.
|
||
- **TOOLJET_HOST**: Public URL of ToolJet installation. This is usually `https://<app-name-in-first-step\>.herokuapp.com`.
|
||
- **TOOLJET_SERVER_URL**: URL of ToolJet server installation. (This is same as the TOOLJET_HOST for Heroku deployments)
|
||
|
||
|
||
4. Click on `Deploy app` button at the bottom to initiate the build.
|
||
|
||
5. After the successful build, you'll see two buttons at the bottom: `Manage App` and `View`. Click on the `View` to open the app or click on `Manage App` to configure any settings.
|
||
|
||
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
|
||
|
||
<img className="screenshot-full" src="/img/setup/heroku/build.png" alt="heroku build" />
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
|
||
:::tip
|
||
ToolJet server and client can be deployed as standalone applications. If you do not want to deploy the client on Heroku, modify `package.json` accordingly. We have a [guide](/docs/setup/client) on deploying ToolJet client using services such as Firebase.
|

|
||
### Deploying Tooljet Database
|
||
|
||
If you intend to use this feature, you'd have to set up and deploy PostgREST server which helps querying ToolJet Database.
|
||
|
||
This feature is only enabled if `ENABLE_TOOLJET_DB` is set to `true` in the Tooljet application.
|
||
|
||
#### Follow the steps below to deploy ToolJet Database on Heroku:
|
||
|
||
:::note
|
||
Please install Heroku CLI on your local machine. Please refer Heroku CLI installation steps [**here**](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli).
|
||
:::
|
||
|
||
1. **Create a new Heroku app using the PostgREST buildpack**
|
||
|
||
1.1 Create a folder with your app name. Please give a unique name to the app.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
mkdir ${YOUR_PGRST_APP_NAME}
|
||
cd $${YOUR_PGRST_APP_NAME}
|
||
git init
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
1.2 Add PostgREST buildpack to your app.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
heroku apps:create ${YOUR_PGRST_APP_NAME} --buildpack https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest-heroku.git
|
||
heroku git:remote -a ${YOUR_PGRST_APP_NAME}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. **Attach the Tooljet app’s PostgreSQL database your Tooljet database app**
|
||
|
||
`${HEROKU_PG_DB_NAME` Should be the name of the PostgreSQL created by the Tooljet app.
|
||
|
||
You can get the `${HEROKU_PG_DB_NAME` of the Tooljet application from the Resources tab under Heroku Postgres attachments as shown below. (eg: `${HEROKU_PG_DB_NAME = postgresql-transparent-24158` ).
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
heroku addons:attach ${HEROKU_PG_DB_NAME} -a ${YOUR_PGRST_APP_NAME}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
|
||
<img className="screenshot-full" src="/img/heroku/PostgreSQL-database.png" alt="PostgreSQL-database" />
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
|
||
3. **Create a Procfile**
|
||
|
||
:::info
|
||
The Procfile is a simple text file that is named Procfile without a file extension. For example, Procfile.txt is not valid.
|
||
:::
|
||
|
||
Please paste the below string within the Procfile file.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
web: PGRST_SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0 PGRST_SERVER_PORT=${PORT} PGRST_DB_URI=${PGRST_DB_URI:-${DATABASE_URL}} ./postgrest-${POSTGREST_VER}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
4. **Set environment variables**
|
||
|
||
You can also refer environment variable [**here**](/docs/setup/env-vars/#enable-tooljet-database--optional-).
|
||
|
||
:::tip
|
||
If you have openssl installed, you can run the
|
||
command `openssl rand -hex 32` to generate the value for `PGRST_JWT_SECRET`.
|
||
|
||
If this parameter is not specified, PostgREST will refuse authentication requests.
|
||
:::
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
heroku config:set PGRST_JWT_SECRET=
|
||
heroku config:set POSTGREST_VER=10.0.0
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also refer environment variable [**here**](/docs/setup/env-vars/#enable-tooljet-database--optional-).
|
||
|
||
|
||
5. **Build and deploy your app**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git add Procfile
|
||
git commit -m "PostgREST on Heroku"
|
||
git push --set-upstream heroku main
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Your Heroku app should be live at `${YOUR_APP_NAME}.herokuapp.com`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
6. **Additional environment variables for Tooljet application**
|
||
|
||
|
||
Please enter the below env variables in the Tooljet application, under the setting tab. You can also refer environment variable [**here**](/docs/setup/env-vars/#enable-tooljet-database--optional-).
|
||
|
||
## Upgrading to the Latest Version
|
||
|
||
The latest version includes architectural changes and, hence, comes with new migrations.
|
||
|
||
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 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 v2.23.0-ee2.10.2 before upgrading.
|
||
|
||
- Users on versions earlier than v2.23.0-ee2.10.2 must first upgrade to this version before proceeding to the latest version.
|
||
