Install ToolJet on Kubernetes

How to Install ToolJet on Kubernetes with Helm

This guide will walk you through the process of installing ToolJet using Helm, the Kubernetes package manager, ensuring a smooth and efficient setup.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following tools installed and configured:

• Kubernetes - Installed locally or in a public cloud provider
• kubectl - Configured to communicate with your Kubernetes cluster
• Helm - For managing Kubernetes applications like ToolJet
• Kubernetes Ingress controller - For accessing the installation on a url

Step 1: Add the Helm chart repository

First, add the repository containing the ToolJet helm chart:

helm repo add tooljet https://tooljet.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
helm search repo tooljet

Step 2: Create a namespace (optional)

Isolating applications within Kubernetes namespaces is a good practice. To deploy ToolJet in its own namespace:

kubectl create namespace tooljet

Step 3: Install ToolJet using Helm

Now, you'll install ToolJet. The helm chart name is "tooljet":

helm install tooljet tooljet/tooljet --namespace tooljet --create-namespace

Step 4: Verify the installation

After installation, verify that your ToolJet deployment is running smoothly:

kubectl get pods --namespace tooljet
kubectl get all --namespace tooljet

Step 5: Customize the ToolJet installation (optional)

This process may require customizing your deployment through a customized values.yaml file, which specifies configuration options.

helm install tooljet tooljet/tooljet --values values.yaml --namespace tooljet

Step 6: Access ToolJet

Accessing ToolJet will depend on your chosen service configuration (LoadBalancer, NodePort, or Ingress). For Ingress access, ensure an Ingress controller is operational in your cluster.

Follow the instructions in the helm install notes, the output of Step 3.
