Data Analytic Setup using Docker & Portainer

This setup is a base data analysis/engineering setup, where its simplifies the process of setting up new development environment to start with using docker and portainer.

Containers (Docker & Docker Compose) Images:

• Portainer, JupyterLab
• PostgreSQL, pgAdmin
• MinIO, Apache Superset

Setting Up Portainer:

Portainer allows you to manage your Docker stacks, containers, images, volumes, networks and more. It is compatible with the standalone Docker engine and with Docker Swarm. To run portainer using docker use the bellow command:

Port: 9443
Container Name: portainer_managment
Restart: always
Application Volumes: portainer_data:/data
Docker Image: portainer/portainer-ce:latest

Run the following command for spinning up portainer on docker container:

• To begin, build the volume on which Portainer Server will keep its database:

sudo docker volume create portainer_data

• Then, go ahead and download and install the Portainer Server container:

sudo docker run -d -p 9443:9443 --name portainer_managment --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest

After running the command above, you can reach portainer locally on port 9443 ( localhost:9443 ) :

Setting Up Our Stack:

Our data analytic stack contains all needed tools to start with, including JupyterLab, MinIO, PostgreSQL, PgAdmin and Apache Superset. Used Jupyter as my analytic editor for my scripts, minIO as storage for my csv's files etc., postgres as my database of choice and pgAdmin as my adminstration gui for my database, and apache superset as my visualization tool of choice.

Lets start deploying our stack by filling the following requirements:

• Name: Here were you declare the name of your stack
• Build Method: Here you choose how you prefer to build your stack, for me i have already prepared a docker-compose.yml file to use, so am gonna choose Upload method
• Environment Variables: Here were you can declare environment variables, for me am gonna deploy my prepared .env file

After deploying the stack successfully, our stack is ready to use in the following ports:

• JupyterLab: ( localhost:8888 )
• MinIO: ( localhost:9000 or localhost:9001 )
• PostgreSQL: ( localhost:5432 ), PgAdmin: ( localhost:5556 )
• Superset: ( localhost:8088 )
