Install with Helm

Official Helm chart

The official Helm chart of Baserow can be found here https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/baserow-chart/baserow. By default, it includes everything you need like PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO for S3, and Caddy for automatic SSL certificates. Here you can also documentation for all the configuration possibilities like using an external PostgreSQL server, how to setup Caddy with various Cloud providers, add environment variables, and more.

Installation

Create a config.yaml file with the minimum configuration that defines the domains you would like it to run on.

global:
  baserow:
    domain: "your-baserow-domain.com"
    backendDomain: "api.your-baserow-domain.com"
    objectsDomain: "objects.your-baserow-domain.com"

To install the chart with the release name my-baserow run the following commands:

helm repo add baserow-chart https://baserow.gitlab.io/baserow-chart
helm install my-baserow baserow-chart/baserow --namespace baserow --create-namespace --values config.yaml

Upgrading

You can change the Baserow version you’re running by updating your config.yaml file directly.

global:
  baserow:
    image: 1.30.1

Or use the latest Helm chart default. Then run the following command to upgrade your installation.

helm upgrade my-baserow baserow-chart/baserow --namespace baserow --values config.yaml

Community Maintained Helm Chart

Find the community Baserow helm chart here maintained by Christian Huth.

We recommend that you:

Run the chart with ingress enabled: 2. backend.ingress.enabled=true 3. frontend.ingress.enabled=true
Make sure you configure two domains, one for the backend api API one for the frontend server. 5. Set config.publicFrontendUrl=https://your-baserow-servers-domain.com 5. Set config.publicBackendUrl=https://api.your-baserow-servers-domain.com
Configure all the relevant backend.config.aws variables to upload and serve user files in a S3 compatible service of your own choosing.

Deploying Baserow using Helm and K3S

K3S is an easy way of getting a local K8S cluster running locally for testing and development. This guide will walk you through setting it K3S with Baserow using the community helm chart above.

Install K3S
Install Helm
Configure Helm to use your K3S cluster:

# From https://devops.stackexchange.com/questions/16043/error-error-loading-config-file-etc-rancher-k3s-k3s-yaml-open-etc-rancher 
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config
mkdir ~/.kube 2> /dev/null
# Make sure you aren't overriding an existing k8s configuration in ~/.kube/config
(set -o noclobber; sudo k3s kubectl config view --raw > "$KUBECONFIG")
chmod 600 "$KUBECONFIG"
# Check you can access the cluster
helm ls --all-namespaces
# You should see something like
# NAME	NAMESPACE	REVISION	UPDATED	STATUS	CHART	APP VERSION
