ToolJet is a low-code platform for building web applications and workflows, that allows you to create applications quickly and easily without writing any code. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install ToolJet on Alpine Linux Latest distribution.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
ToolJet requires Node.js to be installed on your system. You can install Node.js using the following command:
sudo apk add nodejs
This command installs the latest version of Node.js available in the Alpine Linux repository.
Git is required to clone the ToolJet repository from Github. You can install Git using the following command:
sudo apk add git
To download the ToolJet code, you should clone the ToolJet repository from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet.git
This will clone the ToolJet repository into a directory named ToolJet in your current working directory.
Navigate to the ToolJet directory that was just created, and install the project dependencies using the following command:
cd ToolJet
npm install
This command will install all the Node.js packages required by ToolJet.
ToolJet requires a configuration file to run. You should copy the sample configuration file to a new file named config.js as follows:
cp config.sample.js config.js
Next, you should edit the config.js file and update the values as required. For example, you can set the PORT value to define which port ToolJet listens to for incoming connections.
To start ToolJet, run the following command in the ToolJet directory:
npm start
This will start the ToolJet server.
You can access ToolJet by navigating to the URL http://<your-ip-address>:<port> in your web browser, where <your-ip-address> is the IP address of your server, and <port> is the port number specified in the config.js file.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured ToolJet on Alpine Linux Latest! You can now start building web applications and workflows using ToolJet.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
