Apache Superset is an open-source data visualization platform that lets users create interactive dashboards and visualizations. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Superset on a Fedora Server.
Before installing Superset, ensure the following:
Update your Fedora server by running the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
Superset requires several system-level dependencies, including Python, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Install the dependencies using the following command:
sudo dnf install gcc gcc-c++ python3-devel postgresql-server postgresql-devel redis -y
Superset uses PostgreSQL as its backend database. Let's create a database and user for Superset to use:
sudo postgresql-setup --initdb
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo su - postgres
psql
CREATE USER superset WITH PASSWORD 'strongpassword';
CREATE DATABASE superset;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE superset TO superset;
\q
exit
Install Superset using pip, the Python package manager:
sudo pip3 install apache-superset
Initialize Superset by running the following command:
export FLASK_APP=superset && superset db upgrade
Create an admin user that you can use to log in to Superset:
export FLASK_APP=superset && superset fab create-admin
Finally, start the Superset server by running the following command:
superset run -h 0.0.0.0 -p 8088 --with-threads --reload --debugger
You should now be able to access Superset by visiting your server's IP address on port 8088 (e.g., http://server_ip_address:8088).
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Superset on Fedora Server Latest. We also created a PostgreSQL database and user, initialized Superset, created an admin user, and started the Superset server. You can now start creating interactive dashboards and visualizations using Superset.
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!
