What it does

Redash allows founders to connect to any data source, easily visualize, and share data to make their company more data-driven.

Install / run

docker-compose up

When to use it

•You have multiple data sources and want to create a unified dashboard to track key metrics.
•You need to share data insights with your team or stakeholders in a simple and intuitive way.
•You want to create custom visualizations and dashboards without requiring extensive coding knowledge.

Quick start

1Edit the `docker-compose.yml` file to configure your database and other settings.
2Run `docker-compose up` to start the Redash server and access the web interface at `http://localhost:5000`.
3Create a new data source by clicking on 'Add Data Source' and selecting the type of database or service you want to connect to.
4Create a new visualization by clicking on 'New Visualization' and selecting the data source and chart type.
5Create a new dashboard by clicking on 'New Dashboard' and adding visualizations and other components.

Ready-to-paste prompt

To query a PostgreSQL database, you can use the following query: `SELECT * FROM mytable;` and then create a visualization from the results.

Heads up: Make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system before running `docker-compose up`, as Redash relies on these tools to manage its containers and dependencies.
