Redash

Redash helps you make sense of your data. Connect and query your data sources (Redshift, BigQuery, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and many others), visualize and share your data, build dashboards and share them with your organization. Used by Atlassian, Cloudflare, Mozilla, Netlify, Soundcloud, Waze and more, Redash is a popular Open Source project that allows you to customize and add features, experience no lock-in, and you can contribute back to the community.

Software Included

Creating an App using the Control Panel

Click the Deploy to DigitalOcean button to create a Droplet based on this 1-Click App. If you aren’t logged in, this link will prompt you to log in with your DigitalOcean account.

Creating an App using the API

In addition to creating a Droplet from the Redash 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the DigitalOcean API. As an example, to create a 4GB Redash Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following curl command. You need to either save your API access token) to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
        '{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image": "redash-18-04"}' \
        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"

Getting Started After Deploying Redash

Once you created the Droplet, you should have a running Redash instance with everything you need to get started. Redash should be available using the server IP address. You should point your browser to this address.

The browser will show a quick setup screen to create your first admin user. Once you’ve done this, you can start using Redash.

There are some additional recommended setup steps, like setting up mail server, HTTPS, etc. See more details in our setup guide.
