Superset

Formerly Caravel

Examples

Navigate to the examples directory to view examples of how to configure Superset with MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite.

Versions

This repo is tagged in parallel with superset. Pulling amancevice/superset:0.17.3 will fetch the image of this repository running superset version 0.17.3. It is possible that the latest tag includes new features/support libraries but will usually be in sync with the latest semantic version.

Configuration

Follow the instructions provided by AirBnB for writing your own superset_config.py. Place this file in a local directory and mount this directory to /home/superset/.superset inside the container. This location is included in the image's PYTHONPATH. Mounting this file to a different location is possible, but it will need to be in the PYTHONPATH.

View the contents of the examples directory to see some simple superset_config.py samples.

Database Initialization

After starting the Superset server, initialize the database with an admin user and Superset tables using the superset-init helper script:

docker run --detach --name superset [options] amancevice/superset
docker exec -it superset superset-init

Upgrading

Upgrading to a newer version of superset can be accomplished by re-pulling amancevice/supersetat a specified superset version or latest (see above for more on this). Remove the old container and re-deploy, making sure to use the correct environmental configuration. Finally, ensure the superset database is migrated up to the head:

# Pull desired version
docker pull amancevice/superset

# Remove the current container
docker rm -f superset-old

# Deploy a new container ...
docker run --detach --name superset-new [options] amancevice/superset

# Upgrade the DB
docker exec superset-new superset db upgrade
