What Metabase does
Metabase is an open-source business intelligence tool that lets anyone in your company ask questions of your data through a simple visual interface. No SQL knowledge required — just point it at a database and start exploring with charts, dashboards, and scheduled reports.
Install Flow
How to self-host Metabase
Metabase can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Metabase does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
Use Cases
What people run it for

- Connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, BigQuery, or 20+ other data sources and create interactive charts and reports.
- Schedule automated email reports and set up alerts when key metrics cross defined thresholds.
