Metabase is an open-source business intelligence and analytics tool. It is not only powerful but easy to use as well. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Metabase on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before installing Metabase, you must have the following:
It is recommended to update your system packages to the latest version before installing any software.

Once Metabase is installed, we need to configure it to run.
To start the Metabase server, run the following command:

Change the PORT variable to your desired port number.
You can access Metabase by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
