Docker image for AirBnB's Superset.
Formerly Caravel
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
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.
Log in with the credentials you just created.
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
. As it is an automated build, commits to the master branch of this repository trigger a re-build of the latest
tag, while tagging master triggers a versioned build. It is possible that the latest
tag includes new deployment-specific features but will usually be in sync with the latest semantic version.
Determine where you will store Caravel's database; choose SQLite
, MySQL
, PostgreSQL
, or Redshift
. Use the ENV
variable SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI
to point superset to the correct database. Be sure to set a SECRET_KEY
when creating the container.
If Caravel's database is created using SQLite the db file should be mounted from the host machine. In this example we will store a SQLite DB on our host machine in ~/superset/superset.db
and mount the directory to /home/superset/.superset
in the container.
docker run --detach --name superset \
--env SECRET_KEY="mySUPERsecretKEY" \
--env SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI="sqlite:////home/superset/.superset/superset.db" \
--publish 8088:8088 \
--volume ~/superset:/home/superset/.superset \
amancevice/superset
docker run --detach --name superset \
--env SECRET_KEY="mySUPERsecretKEY" \
--env SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI="mysql://user:pass@host:port/db" \
--publish 8088:8088 \
amancevice/superset
docker run --detach --name superset \
--env SECRET_KEY="mySUPERsecretKEY" \
--env SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI="postgresql://user:pass@host:port/db" \
--publish 8088:8088 \
amancevice/superset
docker run --detach --name superset \
--env SECRET_KEY="mySUPERsecretKEY" \
--env SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI="redshift+psycopg2://username@host.amazonaws.com:5439/db" \
--publish 8088:8088 \
amancevice/superset
After starting the Caravel server, initialize the database with an admin user and Caravel tables using the superset-init
helper script:
docker run --detach --name superset ... amancevice/superset
docker exec -it superset superset-init
Upgrading to a newer version of superset can be accomplished by re-pulling amancevice/superset
at 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:
# Pull desired version
docker pull amancevice/superset
# Remove the current container
docker rm -f superset-old
# Deploy a new container ...
docker run --detach --name superset-new ...
# Upgrade the DB
docker exec superset-new superset db upgrade
A custom configuration can be accomplished through mounting a Caravel config to ~superset/superset_config.py
in the container or by setting ENV
variables:
ROW_LIMIT
WEBSERVER_THREADS
SECRET_KEY
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI
CSRF_ENABLED
DEBUG
Additional environmental variables prefixed with SUPERSET_
will also be passed to the superset configuration (without the SUPERSET_
prefix). See the superset configuration file for a list of available configuration keys.
For example, the following command will deploy superset with the LOG_LEVEL
variable set in the superset configuration:
docker run --detach --name superset \
--env SUPERSET_LOG_LEVEL="INFO" \
--publish 8088:8088 \
