This Helm chart deploys Apache Superset on Kubernetes, providing a modern, enterprise-ready business intelligence web application. Superset enables users to create and share interactive dashboards, perform data exploration, and visualize data through a rich set of charts and graphs.

Add Helm Repository

Add the Helm repository by running:

For more details, see the Helm Repository Documentation.

Dependencies

Before installing the chart, you need to download the required dependencies. Run the following command in the chart directory:

This command will:

1. Read the dependencies from Chart.yaml

2. Download the required charts (PostgreSQL and Redis) from the specified repositories

3. Store them in the charts/ directory

4. Create or update the Chart.lock file with the exact versions

If you encounter any issues with the dependencies, you can try:

This chart requires the following dependencies to be installed:

PostgreSQL

• Condition: postgres.enabled

• Chart: postgres

• Version: 0.0.6

• Repository: https://helm.zop.dev

• Purpose: Provides the primary database for Superset metadata storage

Redis

• Condition: redis.enabled

• Chart: redis

• Version: 0.0.1

• Repository: https://helm.zop.dev

• Purpose: Used for caching and as a message broker for Celery tasks

To install these dependencies automatically, ensure the following in your values.yaml:

postgres:
  enabled: true
  # Additional PostgreSQL configuration...
redis:
  enabled: true
  # Additional Redis configuration...

The dependencies will be automatically installed when you deploy the Superset chart. You can customize their configuration through the respective sections in your values.yaml file.

Install Helm Chart

To deploy the Superset Helm chart, use the following command:

helm install [RELEASE_NAME] zopdev/superset

Replace [RELEASE_NAME] with your desired release name. Example:

helm install my-superset zopdev/superset

You can override default values during installation by providing a values.yaml file.

Refer to the Helm Install Documentation for further details.

Uninstall Helm Chart

To remove the Superset Helm chart and associated resources, run:

helm uninstall [RELEASE_NAME]

Example:

helm uninstall my-superset

Check the Helm Uninstall Documentation for more information.
