This is a Dockerfile for a Metabase application based on the official Metabase image. The following instructions are included:
- Use the version directive to specify the version of the Docker Compose file format that this file uses. In this case, we use version 3.
- Define a service for a Metabase container. The image field specifies the Docker image to use for this service, which is set to metabase/metabase:latest.
- The restart field is set to unless-stopped. This means that if the container is stopped, it will not be restarted unless it is manually started or the Docker daemon is restarted.
- The ports section maps port 3000 of the host to port 3000 of the container.
- The environment section sets various environment variables for connecting to a Postgres database, such as MB_DB_TYPE, MB_DB_DBNAME, MB_DB_PORT, MB_DB_USER, and MB_DB_PASS.
- The volumes section mounts a directory called metabase on the host to the /metabase-data directory in the container.
This is a Dockerfile for a Postgres database based on the official PostgreSQL image. The following instructions are included:
- Use the version directive to specify the version of the Docker Compose file format that this file uses. In this case, we use version 3.
- Define a service for a Postgres container. The image field specifies the Docker image to use for this service, which is set to postgres.
- The restart field is set to unless-stopped. This means that if the container is stopped, it will not be restarted unless it is manually started or the Docker daemon is restarted.
- The ports section maps port 5432 of the host to port 5432 of the container.
- The environment section sets various environment variables for configuring the Postgres database, such as POSTGRES_DB, POSTGRES_USER, and POSTGRES_PASSWORD.
- The volumes section mounts a directory called postgres on the host to the /var/lib/postgresql/data directory in the container.
- Save the Dockerfile to a file named docker-compose.yml.
- Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you saved the Dockerfile.
- Run the command docker-compose up to start both Metabase and Postgres containers.
- Once the containers are running, you can access the Metabase application by connecting to port 3000 of the host machine using a web browser or a REST client like curl.
- To stop both containers, run the command docker-compose down.
Note that this Dockerfile assumes that you have already installed Docker on your system. If you haven't, you can download it from https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/.
