Managed Metabase_

Charts and dashboards from your data, no SQL required

Metabase lets your whole team ask questions of your data: connect a database, explore it with a visual query builder or SQL, and share charts and dashboards.

From £10 a month, VAT included. No server to run.

  • HTTPS and your own domain
  • Health checks and restarts
  • Security updates underneath
  • Business dashboards
  • Self-serve reporting
  • SQL exploration
  • Scheduled reports by email

First steps

  1. Sign in. When the app is live, open it in the console and choose Reveal admin password; it is shown once, so save it in your password manager. Then sign in at your-name.apps.fresh.dev/auth/login.
  2. Change the admin’s name and email.
  3. Connect your first database under Admin › Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL and many more, reached over the internet with its public address.
  4. Ask a question with the query builder, save it, and add it to a dashboard.
  5. Add SMTP details in the console to email dashboards on a schedule.

Good to know

  • Metabase connects to databases over the internet; private network addresses are blocked.
  • If you set SMTP in the console, Metabase’s own email settings are locked to it.
