Deploying ToolJet client

ToolJet client is a standalone application and can be deployed on static website hosting services such as Netlify, Firebase, S3/Cloudfront, etc.

You can build standalone client with the below command:

SERVE_CLIENT=false npm run build

Deploying ToolJet client on Firebase

:::tip You should set the environment variable TOOLJET_SERVER_URL ( URL of the server ) while building the frontend and also set SERVE_CLIENT to `false`` for standalone client build.

For example: SERVE_CLIENT=false TOOLJET_SERVER_URL=https://server.tooljet.com npm run build && firebase deploy :::

1. Initialize firebase project

    firebase init
   

   Select Firebase Hosting and set build as the static file directory
2. Deploy client to Firebase

    firebase deploy
   

Deploying ToolJet client with Google Cloud Storage

:::tip You should set the environment variable TOOLJET_SERVER_URL ( URL of the server ) while building the frontend.

For example: SERVE_CLIENT=false TOOLJET_SERVER_URL=https://server.tooljet.io npm run build :::

Using Load balancer

Tooljet client can be hosted from Cloud Storage bucket just like hosting any other static website. Follow the instructions from google documentation here.

Summarising the steps below:

1. Create a bucket and upload files within the build folder such that the index.html is at the bucket root.

2. Edit permissions for the bucket to assign New principal as allUsers with role as Storage Object Viewer and permit for public access for the bucket.

3. Click on Edit website configuration from the buckets browser and specify the main page as index.html

4. Follow the instructions on creating a load balancer for hosting a static website.

5. Optionally, create Cloud CDN to use with the backend bucket assigned to the load balancer.

6. After the load balancer is created there will be an IP assigned to it. Try hitting it to check the website is being loaded.

7. Use the load balancer IP as the static IP for the A record of your domain.

Using Google App Engine

1. Upload the build folder onto a bucket

2. Upload app.yaml file onto bucket with the following config

   runtime: python27
   api_version: 1
   threadsafe: true
   
   handlers:
   - url: /
     static_files: build/index.html
     upload: build/index.html
   
   - url: /(.*)
     static_files: build/\1
     upload: build/(.*)
   

3. Activate cloud shell on your browser and create build folder

   mkdir tooljet-assets
   

4. Copy the uploaded files onto an assets folder which is to be served

   gsutil rsync -r gs://your-bucket-name/path-to-assets ./tooljet-assets
   

5. Deploy static assets to be served

   cd tooljet-assets && gcloud app deploy
