Clustering

If you plan to run several Livebook instances behind a load balancer, you need to enable clustering via the LIVEBOOK_CLUSTER environment variable. This page describes how to configure the relevant environment variables.

If you are using Livebook Teams, you can deploy with the click of a button by running Livebook servers inside your infrastructure. To get started, open up Livebook and click "Add Organization" on the sidebar. Once completed, open up the Application pane on the sidebar (with a rocket icon), click "Deploy with Livebook Teams". We provide templates for clustering inside Fly.io and Kubernetes, without a need to follow the steps below.

Setting LIVEBOOK_CLUSTER

You may set LIVEBOOK_CLUSTER to one of the following values.

auto

Attention {: .warning}

"auto" is only a valid value if you're running Livebook's Docker image on Fly.io or Kubernetes.

Detects the hosting platform and automatically sets up a cluster using DNS configuration. Currently the supported platforms are Fly.io and Kubernetes.

dns:QUERY

Sets up a cluster using DNS for queries for A/AAAA records to discover new nodes. Additionally, you must additionally set the following env vars:

  • LIVEBOOK_NODE=livebook_server@MACHINE_IP, where MACHINE_IP is the machine IP of each deployed node

  • If your cloud requires IPv6, also set ERL_AFLAGS="-proto_dist inet6_tcp"

Setting other env vars

In addition you must set LIVEBOOK_SECRET_KEY_BASE and LIVEBOOK_COOKIE to different random values (use openssl rand -base64 48 to generate said values).

You may need to set additional environment variables at runtime. When using the Livebook Docker image, you can create a file at /app/user/env.sh that exports the necessary environment variables. This file is invoked right before booting Livebook.
