Planning guidance

Use the resource planner to size a server for your workload.

No official hardware minimum for Baserow

The installation guide does not prescribe one production server size. Database growth, imports, background workers and realtime collaboration affect memory and CPU use.

Deploy with

Supported paths

All-in-one Docker image
Docker Compose
Separate backend and frontend images

The host must provide

Runtime

PostgreSQL: Included internally by default; external database supported
Redis: Included internally by default; external service supported

Storage

Persistent data

Persist /baserow/data for the default installation. External databases and file storage need their own backups; a container-volume backup does not cover them.

Step by step

Plan a Baserow deployment

Choose the deployment shape

The all-in-one image suits a single-server setup. Horizontal scaling needs external state and the relevant separate service configuration.
Official instructions
Configure public access

Match the public URL to the browser address and configure HTTPS. Check exposed container ports against the intended network access.
Official instructions
Prepare recovery

Back up database and uploaded files before replacing or upgrading containers.
Official instructions

Security

Before you go public

Keep database credentials server-side.
Review port exposure; Docker publishing can bypass expected host firewall behavior.

Cost

Beyond the server price

Include database, uploaded files and backup capacity. Worker counts and external services change the hosting budget.
