|
|
|
|
|
|
### 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>
|
|
|
|
6. The default username of the admin is `dev@tooljet.io` and the password is `password`.
|
|
|
|
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
|
|
|
|
<img className="screenshot-full" src="/img/setup/heroku/login.png" alt="heroku login" />
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
The one click deployment will create a **free dyno** and a **free postgresql database**.
|

|
|
|
|
:::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.

## 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.
|
