Creating a ClickHouse Database
This page covers the configuration specific to ClickHouse — its Database Mode and any engine-specific settings shown below. The rest of the creation flow — opening the wizard, namespace and name, version, machine profile, storage, and optional features — is the same for every engine and is documented in Common Steps.
Database Mode
Select the topology under Database Mode:
- Standalone — A single-node ClickHouse instance.
- Topology — A distributed ClickHouse cluster with sharding/replication, coordinated by ClickHouse Keeper.
Cluster
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Shards | Number of shard partitions. Required. |
| Replicas | Number of replicas per shard. Required. |
ClickHouse Keeper — Provides coordination/metadata for the cluster (the ClickHouse-native alternative to ZooKeeper). Configure its node count and resources.
