Quickstart for MetabasePostgres

Metabase lets you ask questions about your data, and displays answers in clear formats such as a bar graph or detailed table. You can save your questions for later, or group them into great-looking dashboards. It's easy to share questions and dashboards with the rest of your team.

Deploy MetabasePostgres on Elestio

1. Open the MetabasePostgres deployment page and sign in, or create an account.
2. Choose a cloud provider, a region and a data center. Pick the region closest to your users for the lowest latency.
3. Choose an instance size. Elestio only lists the sizes that can run MetabasePostgres properly (at least 1 vCPU and 2 GB of RAM).
4. Choose your support plan and the maintenance window for system and software updates (times are in UTC).
5. Click Create Service. MetabasePostgres is deployed and ready in a few minutes, and you receive an email with the access details.

The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the installation guide.

Access MetabasePostgres

Open your service in the Elestio dashboard and go to the Overview tab. Click Display Admin UI to reveal the URL, username and password of your MetabasePostgres instance.

If the password field is blank, MetabasePostgres does not ship with a pre-created admin user: open the admin URL to start its setup. Software without a web interface, such as databases, is reached with the credentials and port listed in the same tab. See Admin UI and credentials.
