Superset

Formerly Caravel

Demo

Run the superset demo by entering this command into your console:

git clone git@github.com:amancevice/superset.git
cd superset
docker-compose up -d redis mysql
# Wait for MySQL to come online...
docker-compose up -d superset
# Wait for Superset to come online...
docker-compose exec superset demo

You will be prompted to set up an admin user.

When finished navigate to http://localhost:8088/ to see the demo.

Versions

This repo is tagged in parallel with superset. Pulling amancevice/superset:0.13.1 will fetch the image of this repository running superset version 0.13.1. It is possible that the latest tag includes new features/support libraries but will usually be in sync with the latest semantic version.

Configuration

As of 0.15.0 I have removed the default superset_config.py file that is laid down. Users who wish to override the defaults should review the configuration provided by AirBnB, determine which values to override, and mount this file to /home/superset/superset_config.py.

A very simple example is available for reference at ./superset_config.py (which is used by the demo docker-compose file).

Database Initialization

After starting the Superset server, initialize the database with an admin user and Superset tables using the superset-init helper script:

docker run --detach --name superset [options] amancevice/superset
docker exec -it superset superset-init

Upgrading

Upgrading to a newer version of superset can be accomplished by re-pulling amancevice/supersetat a specified superset version or latest (see above for more on this). Remove the old container and re-deploy, making sure to use the correct environmental configuration. Finally, ensure the superset database is migrated up to the head:
