# Getting Started with Superset using Docker

Docker is an easy way to get started with Superset. 

## Prerequisites

1. Docker! [link](https://www.docker.com/get-started)
1. Docker-compose [link](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)

## Configuration

The `/app/pythonpath` folder is mounted from [./docker/pythonpath_dev](./docker/pythonpath_dev) 
which contains a base configuration [./docker/pythonpath/superset_config.py](./docker/pythonpath/superset_config.py) 
intended for use with local development.

### Local overrides

In order to override configuration settings locally, simply make a copy of [./docker/pythonpath/superset_config_local.example](./docker/pythonpath/superset_config_local.example)
into [./docker/pythonpath/superset_config_docker.py](./docker/pythonpath/superset_config_docker.py) (git ignored) and fill in your overrides.

## Initializing Database

The DB will initialize itself upon startup via the init container (superset-init)
(This may take a minute.)

## Normal Operation

To run the container, simply run:

```bash
docker-compose up
```

After several minutes for superset initialization to finish, you can open a browser and view [`http://localhost:8088`](http://localhost:8088) 
to start your journey.

## Developing

While running, the container server will reload on modification of the superset python and javascript source code.
Don't forget to reload the page to take the new frontend into account though.

## Production

It is also possible to run Superset in non-development mode: in the `docker-compose.yml` file remove
the volumes needed for development and change the variable `SUPERSET_ENV` to `production`.

## Resource Constraints

If you are attempting to build on a Mac and it exits with 137 you need to increase your docker resources.
