albinscode / superset-activity

A sample project on how to user superset to gather developer activities from gitlab

Installation and configuration

See for details: https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/superset

And: https://github.com/apache/superset/tree/master/docker#readme

But simply:

docker-compose up
./postinstall.sh

Then you can log with admin/admin to http://localhost:8080/login

Architecture

• Data will be extracted through Gilab API.
• Data will be pushed to superset-db
• Superset will allow to display dashboards

Automatic configuration

The best way seems to use the API: https://superset.apache.org/docs/api/

It will allow to create new database, datasets, etc...

To have examples, the best way is to use the GUI of Superset and view network requests ;)

Set up data base

http://localhost:8080/api/v1/database/ {"database_name":"MySQL","engine":"mysql","configuration_method":"dynamic_form","catalog":[{"name":"","value":""}],"parameters":{"host":"superset-db","port":"3306","database":"superset","username":"superset","password":"superset"},"encrypted_extra":"{}"}
