Prerequisites

To deploy Bytebase on Klutch.sh, ensure you have the following:

• An active Klutch.sh account with access to the dashboard at klutch.sh/app
• A GitHub repository (optional, for storing Dockerfile and configuration files)
• Understanding of basic Docker concepts and containerization
• Familiarity with database management concepts
• Access to manage persistent storage volumes for database backups

Important Considerations

Note

Persistent Storage Requirements: Bytebase stores its metadata, audit logs, and user data in a local SQLite database by default. For production deployments, you must attach a persistent volume to the /var/opt/bytebase mount path. This ensures that all configuration, projects, and audit logs persist across container restarts and updates. Allocate at least 50GB for metadata, audit logs, backups, and snapshots.

Caution

Database Connectivity: Bytebase connects to external databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, etc.) to manage their schemas. Ensure that the databases you want to manage are accessible from the Klutch.sh deployment environment. Network connectivity, firewall rules, and authentication credentials must be properly configured for each connected database.

Tip

Environment Variables for Production: Bytebase supports several customization options through environment variables. For production deployments, configure backup paths, log levels, SSL certificates, and connection pooling settings using Nixpacks environment variables. These customizations allow you to adapt Bytebase to your specific deployment architecture and compliance requirements.

Deployment Steps

1. Create the Dockerfile

   Create a Dockerfile in the root directory of your repository with the following content:

   FROM bytebase/bytebase:latest
   
   # Expose the default Bytebase web UI port
   EXPOSE 8080
   
   # Set the data directory volume mount point
   VOLUME ["/var/opt/bytebase"]
   
   # Set working directory
   WORKDIR /var/opt/bytebase
   
   # Health check for container orchestration
   HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=10s --start-period=5s --retries=3 \
       CMD curl -f http://localhost:8080/api/v1/ping || exit 1
   
   # Use the default entrypoint from the base image
   ENTRYPOINT ["/bytebase/bytebase"]
   
   # Default command - specify port and data directory
   CMD ["--port", "8080", "--data", "/var/opt/bytebase"]

   This Dockerfile uses the official Bytebase image and configures the necessary ports, volumes, and health checks for production deployment.

2. Create an Entrypoint Script

   Create an entrypoint.sh file to handle initialization and configuration:

   #!/bin/bash
   set -e
   
   # Create the data directory if it doesn't exist
   mkdir -p /var/opt/bytebase
   cd /var/opt/bytebase
   
   # Set proper permissions
   chmod 755 /var/opt/bytebase
   
   # Start Bytebase with configured options
   exec /bytebase/bytebase \
     --port 8080 \
     --data /var/opt/bytebase \
     --readonly=${BYTEBASE_READONLY:-false} \
     --demo=${BYTEBASE_DEMO:-false}

   Update the Dockerfile’s CMD instruction to use this script if you need custom initialization logic.

3. Create Environment Configuration File

   Create an .env.example file with the following content:

   # Bytebase Core Configuration
   BYTEBASE_PORT=8080
   BYTEBASE_DATA_DIR=/var/opt/bytebase
   
   # Optional: Readonly Mode
   # Set to true to run Bytebase in read-only mode
   BYTEBASE_READONLY=false
   
   # Optional: Demo Mode
   # Set to true to enable demo mode for testing
   BYTEBASE_DEMO=false
   
   # Optional: PostgreSQL Connection (for external metadata database)
   # By default, Bytebase uses SQLite. Uncomment to use PostgreSQL for metadata
   # BYTEBASE_EXTERNAL_DB=postgresql://user:password@postgres-host:5432/bytebase
   
   # Optional: Backup Configuration
   BYTEBASE_BACKUP_PATH=/var/opt/bytebase/backups
   BYTEBASE_LOG_LEVEL=info
   
   # SSL/TLS Configuration (optional)
   # BYTEBASE_SSL_CERT=/var/opt/bytebase/ssl/cert.pem
   # BYTEBASE_SSL_KEY=/var/opt/bytebase/ssl/key.pem
   
   # SMTP Configuration for Notifications (optional)
   # BYTEBASE_SMTP_HOST=smtp.example.com
   # BYTEBASE_SMTP_PORT=587
   # BYTEBASE_SMTP_USERNAME=your-email@example.com
   # BYTEBASE_SMTP_PASSWORD=your-password
   # BYTEBASE_SMTP_FROM=noreply@example.com
   
   # Authentication Configuration (optional)
   # OAuth/OIDC Configuration for Single Sign-On
   # BYTEBASE_OAUTH_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your-github-client-id
   # BYTEBASE_OAUTH_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your-github-secret

   This file defines all the necessary environment variables for configuring Bytebase during deployment.

4. Create a .gitignore File

   Create a .gitignore file to exclude sensitive files from version control:

   # Environment variables
   .env
   .env.local
   .env.*.local
   
   # Bytebase data directory (local development only)
   .bytebase/
   data/
   
   # IDE and editor files
   .vscode/
   .idea/
   *.swp
   *.swo
   *~
   
   # OS files
   .DS_Store
   Thumbs.db
   
   # Logs
   *.log
   logs/
   
   # Build artifacts
   dist/
   build/
   node_modules/

5. Push to GitHub

   Initialize a Git repository and push your files to GitHub:

   git init
   git add Dockerfile entrypoint.sh .env.example .gitignore
   git commit -m "Initial Bytebase deployment setup"
   git branch -M main
   git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPOSITORY.git
   git push -u origin main

   Replace YOUR_USERNAME and YOUR_REPOSITORY with your actual GitHub username and repository name.

6. Deploy on Klutch.sh

   1. Log in to your Klutch.sh dashboard at klutch.sh/app
   2. Click Create App and select GitHub as your repository source
   3. Connect your GitHub account and select the repository you created
   4. Configure the deployment settings:
      • App Name: Enter a name for your Bytebase instance (e.g., bytebase-prod)
      • Branch: Select main (or your default branch)
   5. Click Deploy and wait for the deployment to complete

   Klutch.sh automatically detects the Dockerfile and uses it to build and deploy your Bytebase instance.

7. Configure Persistent Storage

   After deployment, attach a persistent volume for data persistence:

   1. In the Klutch.sh dashboard, navigate to your deployed Bytebase app
   2. Go to the Settings or Storage section
   3. Click Add Persistent Volume
   4. Configure the volume:
      • Mount Path: /var/opt/bytebase
      • Size: 50GB (or larger based on your requirements)
   5. Save the configuration and restart the container

   This ensures all metadata, audit logs, and configurations persist across deployments and updates.

8. Configure Network Traffic

   Configure your Klutch.sh app to handle HTTP traffic on the standard web port:

   1. In your app settings, navigate to the Network section
   2. Set Traffic Type to HTTP
   3. The internal port should be set to 8080 (Bytebase’s default web UI port)
   4. Your Bytebase instance will be accessible at example-app.klutch.sh

   The HTTP configuration allows web browsers to access the Bytebase web interface for managing databases and schemas.

Best Practices

Schema Management

• Use Change Workflows: Always create schema changes through Bytebase’s issue system rather than executing SQL directly. This ensures audit trails and approval workflows are maintained.
• Enable SQL Review: Configure SQL lint rules to catch anti-patterns before deployment. Use Bytebase’s built-in 200+ rules to enforce consistency.
• Test Changes in Non-Prod: Always deploy schema changes to development and staging environments first. Validate against realistic data volumes.
• Document Changes: Include detailed descriptions in change issues, including rollback procedures and expected impact on application performance.

Access Control and Security

• Implement RBAC: Use role-based access control to limit who can approve, execute, or view schema changes. Assign appropriate roles (Owner, DBA, Developer, Viewer).
• Enable 2FA: Enforce two-factor authentication for all users, especially administrators. Use Bytebase’s 2FA settings to strengthen security.
• Use API Tokens: Create service account API tokens with minimal required permissions for automation and integrations.
• Audit Regularly: Review audit logs frequently to detect unusual database access patterns or unauthorized changes.

Data Security and Compliance

• Enable Data Masking: Configure column-level data masking for sensitive fields (PII, payment data, credentials) in non-production environments.
• Set Up Just-in-Time Access: Use temporary access grants with expiration times for production database access.
• Backup and Recovery: Configure automatic backups and test recovery procedures regularly. Store backups in secure, geographically distributed locations.
• Maintain Audit Trails: Keep audit logs for compliance requirements. Set appropriate retention policies based on regulatory requirements.

Monitoring and Maintenance

• Health Checks: Monitor Bytebase’s health endpoint (/api/v1/ping) regularly to ensure availability.
• Storage Monitoring: Track persistent volume usage and plan capacity accordingly. Clean up old snapshots and backups.
• Update Management: Keep Bytebase updated with the latest security patches and features. Plan updates during maintenance windows.
• Performance Tuning: If using external PostgreSQL for metadata, configure connection pooling and appropriate resource limits.

Integration and Automation

• GitOps Workflow: Enable GitHub/GitLab integration to sync schema changes between repositories and Bytebase.
• Notifications: Configure SMTP for email notifications on schema changes, approvals, and issues.
• API Automation: Use Bytebase API for automated backups, migrations, and reporting.
• Terraform Integration: Use the Bytebase Terraform provider to manage instances, projects, and policies as infrastructure-as-code.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Cannot Connect to Databases

Solution: Verify network connectivity from the Klutch.sh environment to your database servers. Check firewall rules, security groups, and VPC configurations. Ensure the database credentials are correct and the user has sufficient permissions.

Issue: Persistent Storage Data Lost After Restart

Solution: Ensure the persistent volume is properly attached to /var/opt/bytebase before deployment. Check Klutch.sh settings to confirm the volume is mounted and persistent. If data is missing, restore from backups.

Issue: High Memory or CPU Usage

Solution: Monitor resource consumption in the Klutch.sh dashboard. If Bytebase uses excessive resources, consider upgrading the instance size or moving the metadata database to an external PostgreSQL server. Clean up old audit logs and snapshots.

Issue: SSL Certificate Errors

Solution: If using custom SSL certificates, ensure they are properly mounted at /var/opt/bytebase/ssl/. Verify certificate validity and expiration dates. Update SSL configuration through environment variables.

Issue: API Token Expiration

Solution: Rotate API tokens regularly according to your security policy. Store tokens securely and use environment variables to manage sensitive credentials. Monitor token usage and create audit alerts.

Updating Bytebase

To update Bytebase to a newer version:

1. Go to your Klutch.sh app dashboard
2. Navigate to Deployments or Updates section
3. Check for available updates
4. Review the changelog for breaking changes or migration steps
5. Click Update to deploy the latest version
6. Bytebase automatically migrates the metadata database during startup
7. Verify the deployment is healthy using the health check endpoint

Always back up your persistent volume before performing updates.
