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. Coolify'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:bash# 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 Coolify's GitHub repository's pull request #4891.
Connecting to other Databases on Coolify Network ​
If you wish to connect to databases hosted on Coolify, 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 Coolify's UI by navigating to your service's Persistent Storage under the Configuration tab.
