How to install metabase on oracle cloud?

#1

Hello everyone,

is there anybody who has already installed metabase on Oracle Cloud instance? I've took this post as an example but I can't get it running. https://www.letscloud.io/community/how-to-install-metabase-on-ubuntu-20-04-as-a-service-with-nginx

Hi @aldu

I don't know what Oracle Cloud provides, but I'm guessing it's regular Linux VPS hosting?

Without knowing what isn't running, then it's hard to help.

But it basically looks like that post is slightly outdated and modified version of this guide:
https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/running-metabase-on-debian.html

There are many other guides on the web if you want to self-host, example:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-metabase-on-ubuntu-20-04-with-docker

If you want managed hosting, then there's Metabase Cloud: https://www.metabase.com/pricing/

Thank you for you answer.
I'm new in Metabase and it's the first time I'm trying to get run Metabase on a server.
My app schould run on an Oracle Cloud Linux Instance. I'm using Docker and it seems to run but I don't know how I can access the app in a browser.
I'm using this command:
docker run -it -p 3000:3000 -e MB_SITE_URL="https://localhost:3333/metabase" metabase/metabase:latest
"https://localhost:3333/metabase" doesn't work. How can I get the correct URL?

@aldu Then follow the instructions here: https://metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/running-metabase-on-docker.html
That's not your Site URL. Your URL would be the server, so a public IP.

I mean how can I access my app in a browser after I've started the Docker container in cmd. I need a URL to set up the app. Should I use the public IP of my oracle cloud instance?

I've tried http://publicOracleIP:3456 or 3457 but it doesn't work.

@aldu Yes, you need to access your Oracle instance, but I have no idea what you are doing with the ports.
Don't change any ports and read the Docker guide I linked to previously.
