Metabase is an open-source business intelligence platform that allows users to create data visualizations, dashboards, and interactive reports. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Metabase on Clear Linux, the fast and secure Linux distribution from Intel.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that your Clear Linux system is up-to-date and has the essential dependencies installed. You can update the system using the following command:
$ sudo swupd update
Metabase requires Java to run. Execute the following command to check if Java is installed or not:
$ java -version
If Java is not installed, install it using the following command:
$ sudo swupd bundle-add java-basic
You can download the Metabase installer script using the wget command:
$ wget https://downloads.metabase.com/v0.41.0/metabase.jar
After downloading the installer script, execute the following command to start Metabase:
$ java -jar metabase.jar
The first time you start Metabase, it will prompt you to configure it. You can either choose to connect to an existing database or use the built-in H2 database. Follow the instructions on the screen to set up Metabase according to your preference.
Once Metabase is configured, you can start it using the following command:
$ java -jar metabase.jar
The command will launch Metabase on your Clear Linux system, and you can access it via your web browser by navigating to the IP address or hostname of your server followed by port 3000. For example:
http://your-server-ip-address:3000
In this tutorial, we explained how to install Metabase on Clear Linux, a fast and secure Linux distribution from Intel. With Metabase, you can create data visualizations, dashboards, and interactive reports to gain insights into your data.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
