Superset

Overview

Apache Superset is a BI platform with a no-code chart builder, SQL Lab for ad-hoc queries, dashboards and a REST API. It connects to most SQL databases through SQLAlchemy drivers. The current release is 6.1.0 (May 2026). This skill covers a local or single-host install, first-run setup, connecting a database, scripting charts and dashboards through the API, and access control.

Instructions

Install with Docker Compose

The upstream compose files are for trying Superset and for development. The docs state plainly that a docker compose install is not production-ready (the metadata database lives in an unbacked-up volume, no high availability); for production use the Helm chart on Kubernetes.
