This is a minimal Superset + Docker Compose set up. It's intended to simplify the process of trying out Superset.

⚠️ simple-superset-compose is not intended for production use. There are unsafe settings enabled in superset/superset_config.py.

1. Determine if you need to make any changes to superset_config.py (more info here). If you ever make any changes to superset_config.py, make sure to rebuild the docker images (docker compose build).

2. Run docker compose up. If it is logging errors about creating a database, the permissions of the new superset_home folder may be too restrictive (i.e. chmod 777 superset_home).

3. Run the setup.sh file, which initializes an account named admin with the password secret.

4. Visit http://localhost:8080.

5. Connect the running PostgreSQL to Superset. The settings will be:

6. Insert data into the database via the exposed port (5000 by default), or via the Superset UI.

7. Try Superset.

8. Profit!

Apache Superset comes with a default Docker Compose setup, but it is not very condusive to trying out the basic functionality of Superset in your local env. This little compose file is the (impercise, quick-n-dirty) product of me wanting to trying out Superset, but shying away from the intensive setup process. It's simple nature lends itself well to use as a little offline anylitics app/SQL exploration lab with fancy graphs/a workspace to safely try out Superset development. Enjoy!
