Metabase

Metabase is the easy, open source way for everyone in your company to ask questions and learn from data.

TL;DR;

$ helm install stable/metabase

Introduction

This chart bootstraps a Metabase deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.4+ with Beta APIs enabled

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

$ helm install --name my-release stable/metabase

The command deploys Metabase on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the Metabase chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
replicaCount	desired number of controller pods	1
image.repository	controller container image repository	metabase/metabase
image.tag	controller container image tag	v0.27.2
image.pullPolicy	controller container image pull policy	IfNotPresent
listen.host	Listening on a specific network host	0.0.0.0
listen.port	Listening on a specific network port	3000
ssl.enabled	Enable SSL to run over HTTPS	false
ssl.port	SSL port	null
ssl.keyStore	The key store in JKS format	null
ssl.keyStorePassword	The password for key Store	null
database.type	Backend database type	h2
database.encryptionKey	Secret key for encrypt sensitive information into database	null
database.connectionURI	Database connection URI (alternative to the below settings)	null
database.host	Database host	null
database.port	Database port	null
database.dbname	Database name	null
database.username	Database username	null
database.password	Database password	null
password.complexity	Complexity requirement for Metabase account's password	normal
password.length	Minimum length required for Metabase account's password	6
timeZone	Service time zone	UTC
emojiLogging	Get a funny emoji in service log	true
javaToolOptions	JVM options	null
pluginsDirectory	A directory with Metabase plugins	null
service.type	ClusterIP, NodePort, or LoadBalancer	ClusterIP
service.externalPort	Service external port	80
service.internalPort	Service internal port, should be the same as listen.port	3000
service.annotations	Service annotations	{}
ingress.enabled	Enable ingress controller resource	false

The above parameters map to the env variables defined in metabase. For more information please refer to the metabase documentations.

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release \
  --set timeZone=US/Pacific,password.complexity=strong,password.length=10 \
    stable/metabase

The above command sets the time zone to US/Pacific, strong user password complexity and minimum length at 10

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/metabase

Tip: You can use the default values.yaml
