Apache-Superset Overview

Secure your stack with a hardened Apache-Superset image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies contained in the image.

Apache Superset is a data exploration and visualization platform for querying databases, building interactive dashboards, and sharing insights without writing code. It supports a wide range of SQL-compatible data sources and provides a no-code chart builder alongside a SQL IDE for ad hoc analysis.

Try It Out

In production, Superset is typically backed by a PostgreSQL database for its metadata. For this quickstart we use the built-in SQLite default, which requires no separate database setup.

For this test, we will run Apache Superset locally using Docker. SUPERSET_SECRET_KEY is required for Superset to sign browser sessions and encrypt sensitive data.

Start the container:

docker run -d \
  --name minimus-superset \
  -e SUPERSET_SECRET_KEY=changeme \
  -p 8088:8088 \
  reg.mini.dev/apache-superset

Next, initialize the database. Superset requires a one-time setup to create the database schema, an admin user, and default roles.

Create the database schema:

docker exec minimus-superset superset db upgrade

Create an admin user:

docker exec minimus-superset superset fab create-admin \
  --username admin \
  --firstname Admin \
  --lastname Admin \
  --email admin@example.com \
  --password admin

Create the default roles and permissions. This registers Superset's built-in roles (Admin, Alpha, Gamma, Public, sql_lab) and assigns the correct permissions to each:

docker exec minimus-superset superset init

Visit http://localhost:8088 in your browser and log in with the credentials you set above (admin / admin).

Technical Considerations

The Apache-Superset image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image from Docker Hub. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.

Apache-Superset built by Minimus:

Runs as non-root by default as user superset to match the public image.
Drill down on the version specification tab to see the default user, listening ports, entrypoint, volumes, environment variables, etc.

The Payoff

A hardened, minimal image that will remain more secure for the long run and accrue vulnerabilities at a slower rate.
