Superset
What is Superset?
Superset is a modern data exploration and data visualization platform. Superset can replace or augment proprietary business intelligence tools for many teams. Superset integrates well with a variety of data sources.
Unofficial Docker Image
By default, superset does not support the use of docker-compose in production. Moltern's superset template uses a third-party, unofficial docker image created by amancevice.
Usage
Initial Setup
After deploying the template, you will need to initialise the database and create your admin user. This can be done as follows:
Open a termianal session to the superset docker container
Run one of the commands below, noting the
-symbol:# Basic initialisation superset-init # Alternatively, to also load demo data, use superset-demothe source code for these scripts are available here.
Answer all questions in the prompts
You can find the video instructions for this process in Moltern's GitHub repository's pull request #4891.
Connecting to other Databases on Moltern Network
If you wish to connect to databases hosted on Moltern, but external to the Superset service template, you will need to turn on the option: Connect to Predefined Networks.
Configuring Superset
Please refer to the official documentation for how you can tweak your superset_config.py.
This python config file can be edited using Moltern's UI by navigating to your service's Persistent Storage under the Configuration tab.
