add metabase support for the project #29

Closed mihai-sysbio closed 1 year ago

mihai-sysbio commented 1 year ago

This PR adds Metabase support for the project, to facilitate data exploration and as possible solution to https://github.com/elixir-europe-training/ELIXIR-TrP-Training-Metrics-Database-Tango/issues/5.

[x] setup Metabase
[ ] ~automatic connection to the Tango db (skip UI first-time setup)~
[ ] update https://github.com/elixir-europe-training/ELIXIR-TrP-Training-Metrics-Database-Tango/wiki/Developer-documentation
[x] resolve #31

Note: this PR requires #28 to be merged first.

The current code doesn't set up Metabase directly connecting with the data in Tango - some UI setup is required before that. However, the volume storage is meant to be permanent, so unless the Docker volumes are permanently deleted, the setup does not need to be repeated.

mihai-sysbio commented 1 year ago

As per the Metabase documentation, setup from configuration files is a paid feature and therefore cannot be enabled for this project - manual setup will be required.
