About

A production ready docker compose file to deploy Metabase. Please refer to the official Metabase documentation for usage instructions.

The compose file uses the following images:

• Metabase – self-service BI reporting tool
• Postgres – database server used by the Metabase application
• Traefik – a reverse proxy that sits in front of Metabase and provides SSL termination (and generates Let's Encrypt certificates)

⚠️ Docker images are continuously updated so please check the version tags and decide if a newer version of the container would be more appropriate for your use case.

Requires:

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Getting started

1. Clone the template somewhere sensible, i.e. /srv/metabase
2. Duplicate the .env.example file and rename it to .env
3. Update the environment variables as needed
4. Update db_password.txt, db_user.txt and mb_key.txt following the instructions in each file.
5. Run docker compose up -d to create or update the docker containers from the compose file
6. Run docker compose down to shut down the containers

Available environment variables

MB_DBNAME: name of the database

MB_HOST: the public URL that people will access Metabase from (assumes DNS is pointed correctly)

LE_EMAIL: for expiry notices when your Let's Encrypt certificate is coming up for renewal
