Use OpenAI cloud API for AI-powered features
ⓘ
Networking Configuration

Configure how your Octostar installation will be accessed. Choose between localhost access, public domain deployment, or internal network setup with custom SSL certificates.

Database Configuration

Configure ClickHouse and OpenSearch deployments. Choose between internal deployment with optional high availability or connect to existing external database services.

ClickHouse

Deploy ClickHouse within the cluster
Default: 1 (single instance). Set to 2-10 for high availability

OpenSearch

Deploy OpenSearch within the cluster
Default: 1 (single instance). Set to 2-10 for high availability
Total memory limit (min: 5 GB, must be > heap)
JVM heap size (min: 4 GB, max: 30 GB, must be < memory)
Timbr Server Resources

Configure memory allocation for the Timbr (Fusion) server. These settings control JVM heap size and container memory limits.

JVM heap size. Must be between 4-30 GB. Default: 4 GB
Total container memory limit. Must be greater than heap. Default: 6 GB
Tip: For production deployments with heavy workloads, consider increasing these values. The heap size should always be less than the memory limit to allow for JVM overhead and native memory.
Apps Selection

Choose which Octostar applications to deploy. Some apps require external API keys and GPU resources. Use "Select Default" for a balanced setup or customize based on your specific needs.
