How do I log in to Metabase?
- In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
- On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Metabase is ready". The first Metabase start can take a little longer. The page refreshes itself.
- Click Open app.
- Log in with the details from the Email and Password rows. There is no setup wizard.
- Under Admin > Databases, add your own database. It is best to connect with a separate database user that has no write permission.
Further down the page, the Username row and the Password row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to Metabase.
Good to know
- The interface starts in Turkish. Metabase sends no usage data.
- Metabase's own data, such as questions and dashboards, lives in PostgreSQL on your server.
- The site opens over HTTPS on a free
sslip.ioaddress based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens overhttp://instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.
To use your own domain, see this article.
No server yet? Order a server with Metabase installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
