Docker

Docker compose is the easiest way to setup ToolJet server and client locally.

信息

If you rather want to try out ToolJet locally with docker, you can follow the steps here.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the latest version of docker and docker-compose installed.

Official docker installation guide

Official docker-compose installation guide

We recommend:

docker --version
Docker version 19.03.12, build 48a66213fe

docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.26.2, build eefe0d31

Setting up

提示

If you are setting up on a Windows machine, we advise you to setup Docker desktop with WSL2. Please find more information here.

  1. Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/tooljet/tooljet.git
  2. Create a .env file by copying .env.example. More information on the variables that can be set is given in the environment variables reference

    cp .env.example .env
    cp .env.example .env.test
  3. Populate the keys in the .env and .env.test file

    信息

    SECRET_KEY_BASE requires a 64 byte key. (If you have openssl installed, run openssl rand -hex 64 to create a 64 byte secure random key)

    LOCKBOX_MASTER_KEY requires a 32 byte key. (Run openssl rand -hex 32 to create a 32 byte secure random key)

    提示

    If you are setting up on a Windows machine. Please make sure that .env file line endings to be LF as it will be CRLF by default unless configured for Windows machine.

    Example:

     cat .env
    TOOLJET_HOST=http://localhost:8082
    LOCKBOX_MASTER_KEY=13c9b8364ae71f714774c82498ba328813069e48d80029bb29f49d0ada5a8e40
    SECRET_KEY_BASE=ea85064ed42ad02cfc022e66d8bccf452e3fa1142421cbd7a13592d91a2cbb866d6001060b73a98a65be57e65524357d445efae00a218461088a706decd62dcb
    NODE_ENV=development
    # DATABASE CONFIG
    PG_HOST=postgres
    PG_PORT=5432
    PG_USER=postgres
    PG_PASS=postgres
    PG_DB=tooljet_development
    ORM_LOGGING=all
     cat .env.test
    TOOLJET_HOST=http://localhost:8082
    LOCKBOX_MASTER_KEY=13c9b8364ae71f714774c82498ba328813069e48d80029bb29f49d0ada5a8e40
    SECRET_KEY_BASE=ea85064ed42ad02cfc022e66d8bccf452e3fa1142421cbd7a13592d91a2cbb866d6001060b73a98a65be57e65524357d445efae00a218461088a706decd62dcb
    NODE_ENV=test
    # DATABASE CONFIG
    PG_HOST=postgres
    PG_PORT=5432
    PG_USER=postgres
    PG_PASS=postgres
    PG_DB=tooljet_test
    ORM_LOGGING=error
  4. Build docker images

    docker-compose build
    docker-compose run --rm plugins npm run build:plugins
  5. Run ToolJet

    docker-compose up
  6. ToolJet server is built using NestJS and the data such as application definitions are persisted on a postgres database. You can run the below command to seed the database.

    docker-compose exec server npm run db:seed
  7. ToolJet should now be served locally at http://localhost:8082. You can login using the default user created.

    email: dev@tooljet.io
    password: password
  8. To shut down the containers,

    docker-compose stop

Making changes to the codebase

If you make any changes to the codebase/pull the latest changes from upstream, the tooljet server container would hot reload the application without you doing anything.

Caveat:

  1. If the changes include database migrations or new npm package additions in the package.json, you would need to restart the ToolJet server container by running docker-compose restart server.

  2. If you need to add a new binary or system library to the container itself, you would need to add those dependencies in docker/server.Dockerfile.dev and then rebuild the ToolJet server image. You can do that by running docker-compose build server. Once that completes you can start everything normally with docker-compose up.

Example: Let's say you need to install the imagemagick binary in your ToolJet server's container. You'd then need to make sure that apt installs imagemagick while building the image. The Dockerfile at docker/server.Dockerfile.dev for the server would then look something like this:

FROM node:14.17.0-buster

RUN apt update && apt install -y \
build-essential \
postgresql \
freetds-dev \
imagemagick

RUN mkdir -p /app
WORKDIR /app

COPY ./server/package.json ./server/package-lock.json ./
RUN npm install

ENV NODE_ENV=development

COPY ./server/ ./

COPY ./docker/ ./docker/

COPY ./.env ../.env

RUN ["chmod", "755", "entrypoint.sh"]

Once you've updated the Dockerfile, rebuild the image by running docker-compose build server. After building the new image, start the services by running docker-compose up.

Running tests

Test config picks up config from .env.test file at the root of the project.

Run the following command to create and migrate data for test db

docker-compose run --rm -e NODE_ENV=test server npm run db:create
docker-compose run --rm -e NODE_ENV=test server npm run db:migrate

To run the unit tests

docker-compose run --rm server npm run --prefix server test

To run e2e tests

docker-compose run --rm server npm run --prefix server test:e2e

To run a specific unit test

docker-compose run --rm server npm --prefix server run test <path-to-file>
