Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apache Superset is a powerful data visualisation and exploration platform that helps you turn raw data into meaningful insights \u2014 fast and with zero coding skills required. Whether you’re a data analyst, engineer, or business user, Superset makes it easy to connect to your data, build interactive dashboards, and make smarter decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisites<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. SSH access with sudo privileges to the Ubuntu 20.04 or later server<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Docker<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Docker Compose<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Git (to clone the Superset repo)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Implementation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Install Docker and Docker Compose (if not already installed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ sudo apt update
    $ sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose git -y<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Start and enable Docker<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ sudo systemctl start docker
    $ sudo systemctl enable docker<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3: Add your user to the Docker group (optional but recommended)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
    $ newgrp docker<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 4: Clone Superset’s GitHub repository<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ git clone –depth=1 https:\/\/github.com\/apache\/superset.git<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Once that command completes successfully, you should see a new\u00a0superset\u00a0folder in your current directory<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 5: Initialise the Superset Environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ docker compose up –build -d<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 6: Access Superset Web UI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once the application is Initialised, we can access this URL from the browser http:\/\/<server-IP>:8088 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note: Log in with the default username and password
    Username: admin
    Password: admin
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n


    Step 7: Manage the Containers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We can start\/stop\/restart the container with the below commands <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ docker compose down
    $ docker compose up -d<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
