Metabase is an open source tool to query your company data without writing SQL queries.
This tutorial will show you how to deploy a Metabase instance on Scalingo in under 5 minutes.
Metabase Deployment
We published a repository metabase-scalingo on GitHub to help you deploy Metabase on Scalingo. Deploying a Metabase instance is now at a click range:
Deployment by Cloning the Repository
You first need to create an application on Scalingo. Let’s say its name is
my-app.
Then, clone our repository and add the Scalingo git remote:
$ git clone https://github.com/Scalingo/metabase-scalingo
$ cd metabase-scalingo
$ git remote add scalingo git@ssh.osc-fr1.scalingo.com:my-app.git
We now need to slightly configure the Scalingo application. First, this
application needs to use the multi-buildpacks. Add the BUILDPACK_URL
environment variable:
$ scalingo --app my-name env-set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/Scalingo/multi-buildpack.git
You also need to add a PostgreSQL addon to your application. A “Starter 512” plan would be enough.
Last, deploy your application with:
$ git push scalingo master
Update the Metabase Instance
Metabase ships regularly new versions. In order to update, go to the application’s dashboard, in the “Code” tab, and click “Deploy” on the master branch as the screenshot shows:
You can also use the CLI and run:
scalingo app --my-name integration-link-manual-deploy master
