How to use it ?

The docker-compose.yml file is used to build and run Metabase in the current workspace.

In case of Mysql install and running on HOST (and you want target db in it)

Just remplace docker-compose.yml by docker-compose.yml.mysqlonhost

   rm docker-compose.yml
   cp docker-compose.yml.mysqlonhost docker-compose.yml

create a metabase database name metabase on the host mysql server and a user metabase with grant privilige on it. The password will be put in .env file (see below chapter) From server installer

   ~/servermanager/scripts/mysql-create-db-user-random-pwd metabase

In other case

First times create volume for maria db

mkdir -p /opt/data/metabase

docker volume create --driver local \
    --opt type=none \
    --opt device=/opt/data/metabase \
    --opt o=bind metabase-mariadb

create network where other container can bind to

docker create network metabase-mariadb

.env file

Then, create a .env file all environment variables, including the root password, as follows (the password is raw after the equal sign) :

if you are in case of Mysql install and running on HOST (and you want target db in it) MYSQL_PASSWORD_METABASE=qsdqdsqdsqdsqdsq else MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD_METABASE=qsdqdsqdsqdsqdsq

    METABASE_RESTART=always
    # For production 
    
    METABASE_RESTART=no
    # For test 

PLEASE, do apply secure permissions to this .env file (in production):

    chmod 600 .env

Nginx configuration for production

Configure your local nginx, you can find sample nginx.conf.sample

 cp nginx.conf.sample /etc/nginx/sites-available/YOUR_URL.conf
 nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/YOUR_URL.conf
 ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/YOUR_URL.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/YOUR_URL.conf
 nginx -s reload

Note : the redirect port is currently 6082 (or 3000 in case of Mysql install and running on HOST (and you want target db in it)) set into docker-compose.xml Do not forget to run certbot or complete nginx conf file

   certbot run --nginx --redirect -d YOUR_URL

Run compose

    docker-compose up

for production go to https://YOUR_URL

for local test go to http://0.0.0.0:6082
