starburstdata/superset repository overview

⁠Superset docker container

⁠Container characteristic

• superset running with gunicorn on port 8088
• /superset mounted as a volume and set as SUPERSET_HOME
  • by default, Superset manages its configuration in an Sqlite database within SUPERSET_HOME, but this can be configured with SUPERSET_CONFIG_PATH.
• admin user created

⁠Usage

docker run starburstdata/superset

⁠Configuration options

• admin user's username and password is controlled by SUPERSET_ADMIN_USERNAME and SUPERSET_ADMIN_PASSWORD respectively, both default to "admin". Set SUPERSET_ADMIN_USERNAME to empty to suppress admin user creation.
• Custom configuration (superset_config.py): mount a folder with the configuration file (typically named superset_config.py) and set the path to the file in env SUPERSET_CONFIG_PATH.
• Custom additional initialization, after Superset database is updated: mount a script and set the path to it in env SUPERSET_POST_INIT. (Actually, SUPERSET_POST_INIT is interpreted with a shell, so you can use this env var to pass both program location and arguments.)
• Custom additional initialization: if you want to skip all initialization done by the container by default, override the entrypoint.
