Redash is an open-source tool that allows users to connect to different databases, visualize data, and share insights with others. This tutorial will walk you through the process of installing Redash on EndeavourOS Latest, a rolling-release Arch-based Linux distribution.
Before starting with the installation process, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
The first step is to install the required dependencies for Redash on your system. Open the terminal and run the following commands as a superuser:
sudo pacman -S curl gnupg
curl https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=bintray | sudo pacman-key --add -
sudo echo "Server = https://dl.bintray.com/redash/archlinux/\$arch" | sudo tee -a /etc/pacman.conf
sudo pacman -S redash
Upon successful installation, you will see a message like this:
We will setup everything into /opt/redash for you
To continue, please run:
sudo systemctl enable redash_supervisor
sudo systemctl start redash_supervisor
After installing Redash, you need to start the required services. Run the following commands to start Redash services:
sudo systemctl enable redash_supervisor
sudo systemctl start redash_supervisor
sudo systemctl status redash_supervisor
You should see that the services are up and running without any issues in the terminal output.
Finally, access your Redash installation by opening the browser and entering http://localhost:5000 in the address bar. You should see the Redash login screen.
Enter the default username and password to log in to your new Redash installation:
Username: admin
Password: admin
You will be prompted to change your password once you log in for the first time.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Redash on EndeavourOS Latest. Enjoy exploring and analyzing 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!
