Data & Analytics solution

Run Metabase Locally with FlyEnv

Metabase uses a Java runtime and a database for its application metadata, with a proxy when a local domain is useful. FlyEnv manages those local environment services around Metabase.

About Metabase

Metabase is an open-source business intelligence and data exploration tool.

Project resources

For installation commands, supported versions, and project-specific configuration, refer to the official Metabase documentation.

Typical local stack

The exact services depend on the project, its release, and its local configuration. This is a common local setup, not a fixed requirement.

Java
PostgreSQL / MySQL
Nginx / Caddy

Component	Typical role
Java	Runs the Metabase application.
PostgreSQL / MySQL	May store application metadata.
Nginx / Caddy	May proxy a local Metabase domain.

How FlyEnv helps

Manage the Java runtime
Use the JDK required by the Metabase release.
Run the application database
Keep the configured metadata database local to the project.
Use a local analytics address
Configure a domain and HTTPS for browser testing when useful.
Start dependencies together
Keep the application and local services in one Startup Group.

Set up the local environment

Project installation stays with the upstream documentation. FlyEnv manages the runtimes, databases, web servers, and supporting services around it.

1Use the Metabase documentation for installation and supported version guidance.
2Select the Java runtime required by the Metabase release.
3Start the metadata database when the installation uses one.
4Configure a local reverse proxy and domain when browser access needs one.
5Enable local HTTPS when integrations require a secure origin.
6Save the application and services in a Startup Group when useful.
