Redash is a data visualization and collaboration platform that allows you to connect to your data sources, build queries, and create dashboards to visualize your data. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Redash on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before starting the installation process, make sure you have the following dependencies installed on your machine:
wgetzipmakegccpython3.8python3.8-devpostgresqlpostgresql-serverpostgresql-contribpostgresql-devellibxml2-devellibxslt-devellibjpeg-turbo-devellibffi-developenssl-develIf any of these dependencies are missing, you can use the zypper package manager to install them.
Firstly, download the latest version of Redash by running the following command in the terminal:
wget https://github.com/getredash/redash/releases/download/v9.0.0.redash4/redash.9.0.0.b49544.zip
This will download Redash in ZIP format. Next, extract the ZIP file using the following command:
unzip redash.9.0.0.b49544.zip
The extracted files will be saved in a directory named redash.9.0.0.b49544.
Navigate to the Redash source code directory and install the Python dependencies using the following command:
cd redash.9.0.0.b49544
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Next, install the PostgreSQL server and client using the following command:
sudo zypper install postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-contrib postgresql-devel
Start the PostgreSQL service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start postgresql
Create a new user for Redash using the following command:
sudo -u postgres createuser redash --no-createdb --no-createrole --no-superuser -P
Enter a password for the user when prompted.
Next, create a new database for Redash using the following command:
sudo -u postgres createdb redash --owner=redash
Navigate to the redash.9.0.0.b49544 directory and create a new file named .env using the following command:
cp .env.sample .env
Edit the .env file and change the following environment variables:
export REDASH_DATABASE_URL="postgresql://redash:your_password@localhost/redash"
export REDASH_COOKIE_SECRET="your_cookie_secret"
Replace your_password with the password you set for the redash user in step 4. Replace your_cookie_secret with a secret value of your choice.
Start the Redash server using the following command:
make run
This will start the Redash server on port 5000. Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:5000 to access the Redash web interface.
You can also run Redash as a service using systemd. Refer to the official Redash documentation for more information on how to set this up.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Redash on OpenSUSE Latest.
