simple-superset-compose

This is a minimal Superset + Docker Compose set up. It's intended to simplify the process of trying out Superset.

⚠️ simple-superset-compose is not intended for production use. There are unsafe settings enabled in superset/superset_config.py.

Usage

  1. Determine if you need to make any changes to superset_config.py (more info here). If you ever make any changes to superset_config.py, make sure to rebuild the docker images (docker compose build).

  2. Run docker compose up. If it is logging errors about creating a database, the permissions of the new superset_home folder may be too restrictive (i.e. chmod 777 superset_home).

  3. Run the setup.sh file, which initializes an account named admin with the password secret.

  4. Visit http://localhost:8080.

  5. Connect the running PostgreSQL to Superset. The settings will be:

HOST PORT DATABASE NAME USERNAME PASSWORD
database 5432 superset superset secretsecret

  1. Insert data into the database via the exposed port (5000 by default), or via the Superset UI.

  2. Try Superset.

  3. Profit!

Notes

Apache Superset comes with a default Docker Compose setup, but it is not very condusive to trying out the basic functionality of Superset in your local env. This little compose file is the (impercise, quick-n-dirty) product of me wanting to trying out Superset, but shying away from the intensive setup process. It's simple nature lends itself well to use as a little offline anylitics app/SQL exploration lab with fancy graphs/a workspace to safely try out Superset development. Enjoy!
