Redash is an open-source platform that enables data visualization and collaborating with team members for improved decision making. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps you need to follow to install Redash on your Elementary OS latest.
Before you start, you will need to have the following:
The first step is to install Docker. To do that, we will install Docker’s official repository and package dependencies before installing Docker itself.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg \
lsb-release
Next, you need to add Docker’s GPG key to your system:
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Add Docker’s repository to your APT sources to install from the official Docker repository:
sudo add-apt-repository –y “deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable”
Finally, update APT package index and install Docker:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Once this is complete, you can verify that Docker is installed correctly by running
sudo docker run hello-world
Now that Docker is installed, the next step is to download and run the latest version of Redash from the Docker registry. To do this, you need to execute the following command:
sudo docker run -p 5000:5000 redash/redash:latest
This command will download the image of the most recent version of Redash from the Docker registry, then start it as a container, and map its port 5000 to the host’s port 5000.
Once the download is complete, you can access Redash by navigating to http://localhost:5000. Here, you will need to create an admin account and database connection.
You will have now successfully installed Redash on your Elementary OS latest.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps needed to install Redash on your Elementary OS latest. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you should now be able to run Redash on your Elementary OS latest and start taking advantage of its data visualization and collaboration features. With Redash, you can start making more informed decisions by using the data at your fingertips.
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!
