Answer 1

Bootstrap 4 has changed since this question was asked, but you can make the sidebar full height using min-height..

.sidebar{
    background-color: #f5f5f5;
    padding-right: 20px;
    padding-top: 20px;
    min-height: calc(100vh - 50px);
}

Update Bootstrap 4.1

Flexbox can be used to allow the container and its child divs (row, col and sidebar) to fill height...

Answer 2

.sidebar{ 
 position: absolute; 
 width: 250px; 
 height: 100%; }

The height attribute is used to set the height of the sidebar.

For a full length side-bar a value of 100% is to be given. For a half screen length a value of 50% is given So on and so forth.

This should help.

Answer 3

You can try this instead of yours

remove these two bootstrap cols
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-2 sidebar" id="Navbar"> If you use this cols the position of the property will be relative i think it's better to remove those cols and use this css.

  width: 210px;
  height: 100%;
  position: fixed;

Answer 4

The easier way is to do something like that:

.sidebar {
    height: calc(100vh - 54px); /* 54 pixel is the height of your .navbar */
}
