Self-Host Publish

Baserow Help

Are you using our SaaS platform (Baserow.io) or self-hosting Baserow?

Self-hosted

What do you need help with?

I have a self hosted instance setup that I have been building. I can use preview to view it, but I want to make it available on the company internal network (not available outside of the internal network). When I hit publish it wants a domain, but there is no domain name for this. I am ok with using an IP address to access. I have not been able to find documentation on how to publish when using self-hosting.
Right now if I go to the IP address I setup for baserow it is the login for the backend. Not the login page a setup for using the application.
How can I make my Baserow application available to users?

hey @JosephV, you need to have at least one domain to publish your application. Here is how to add a domain: Add a domain to an application in Baserow :slightly_smiling_face:

I have looked at that. It says to update my DNS with an alias connecting the new domain name to the same IP as the self-hosted baserow instance. However, when I go to that IP the login is for the backend where I can setup the database and applications. The login does not work for the users I setup in my users table. Will that change after publishing and allow both logging into the backend as well as logging into the application for users?

Thanks.

Hey Jospeh,

FYI you must use domaine names even if they are internal only in order to have published application, it can’t work with just IP address. You can set the variable BASEROW_BUILDER_DOMAINS to use sub domains of a main domain if you want that to be easier.

Also remember to set theBASEROW_CADDY_ADDRESSES to the right value as described in the doc Install with Docker

When you configured a domain for your published application and you published the application, both the Baserow application and your custom application will be accessible, the first one using the main domain and the second one using the configured custom domain.

FYI, For your custom application, you need to create the login page in the application otherwise your users won’t be able to login. The login page is different and is not the Baserow login page.
