whet the low-resource-mode does:
abctl local install --host <http://airbyte-eu.transperfect.com|airbyte-eu.transperfect.com> --no-browser --insecure-cookies  --low-resource-mode
k
What --low-resource-mode Does When you add
--low-resource-mode
to your
abctl local install
command, it does the following: • Runs Airbyte with reduced resource requirements — it allows Airbyte to run on machines with fewer than 4 CPUs (minimum 2 CPUs with 8 GB RAM), instead of the recommended 4+ CPUs and 8 GB RAM. [Quickstart] • Disables the Connector Builder — the Connector Builder is turned off when deploying in low-resource mode. To use the Connector Builder, you must allocate the suggested resources and redeploy without the
--low-resource-mode
flag. [Connector Builder] About the other flags in your command ⚠️ Known Issue with --insecure-cookies There is a known bug where
--insecure-cookies
may be ignored in some versions of abctl (reported in v0.26.0–v0.30.1+). If you cannot log in after installation, a workaround is to pass a
values.yaml
file with: [GitHub Issue]
Copy code
global:
  auth:
    cookieSecureSetting: "false"
    security:
      cookieSecureSetting: "false"

server:
  extraEnv:
    - name: AB_COOKIE_SECURE
      value: "false"
    - name: AB_COOKIE_SAME_SITE
      value: "Lax"
Then run:
Copy code
abctl local install \
  --host airbyte-eu.transperfect.com \
  --no-browser \
  --insecure-cookies \
  --low-resource-mode \
  --values values.yaml

@kapa.ai how to that without change airbyte version and not lost any data
k
I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not contain enough information to give you a fully confident answer about removing
--low-resource-mode
without losing data or changing the Airbyte version. However, based on what the knowledge sources do tell us, here is what can be said: Removing --low-resource-mode Without Losing Data The key point from the documentation is: > To access the Connector Builder, allocate Airbyte's suggested resources and re-deploy Airbyte without setting the
--low-resource-mode
flag
. [Connector Builder] Re-running
abctl local install
without
--low-resource-mode
should upgrade/reconfigure your deployment in-place without changing the Airbyte version, as long as you keep the same
abctl
version. Your data lives in a persistent volume, not in the flag itself.
Copy code
abctl local install \
  --host airbyte-eu.transperfect.com \
  --no-browser \
  --insecure-cookies
⚠️ Important Caveats • The knowledge sources do not explicitly confirm that re-running
abctl local install
without
--low-resource-mode
preserves all existing data and connections. • Before making any changes, it is strongly recommended to back up your database first. • Make sure your host machine meets the suggested resources (4 CPUs, 8 GB RAM) before removing the flag, otherwise the deployment may become unstable. For a definitive answer on data safety, I'd recommend asking in the Airbyte Community Slack or checking the official documentation directly. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.

Based on the knowledge sources, the answer is straightforward: You cannot use the Connector Builder in low-resource mode — it is disabled by design. There is no configuration option to enable the Connector Builder while keeping
--low-resource-mode
. [Connector Builder] The only supported path is: 1. Allocate Airbyte's suggested resources (4 CPUs, 8 GB RAM minimum) 2. Redeploy without the
--low-resource-mode
flag
Copy code
abctl local install \
  --host airbyte-eu.transperfect.com \
  --no-browser \
  --insecure-cookies
The knowledge sources do not explicitly confirm whether re-running
abctl local install
without
--low-resource-mode
preserves existing data, so I'd recommend backing up your database before making changes and asking in the Airbyte Community Slack for confirmation on data safety. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
