Some cloud providers offer SQL databases as a service that can handle backups for you. You’ll also be responsible for backing up your application database so you don’t lose your questions, dashboards, and other reporting data. We recommend you migrate to PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MariaDB. But the H2 database is not suitable for running Metabase in production. The reason Metabase ships with the H2 database out of the box is to make it easy to get Metabase up and running on your machine. The application database stores all of your users, questions, dashboards, and other Metabase application data. You’ll need to migrate the application database that ships with Metabase (an H2 database) to a production SQL database. Migrate the application database to a production database You don’t need to understand how Docker containers work. The advantage of running a JAR is that you only need to install Java and run the JAR to get Metabase up and running. The Docker image packages up the JVM required to run the JAR, and runs the JAR for you. And because Docker packages up everything Metabase needs, you don’t even need to know how to install Java and run the JAR. This app isolation can make it easier to manage and orchestrate your app. There are some advantages with running Docker containers, as the containers package only what you need to run Metabase. If you’re new to both Docker and Java, we recommend running the JAR, as there’s a lot less to learn. The reason we provide both options is to give people flexibility when running Metabase in production.īetween running Metabase in a Docker container or as a JAR, our advice is this: if your team is familiar with containers, and understands servers and networking, you may prefer running Docker. And under the hood, they both run the Metabase JAR. You can’t make a bad call here: both options will keep your Metabase running smoothly, and both are easy to scale. Both provide the same experience: your users won’t know the difference. Metabase comes in two packages: a Docker image and a JAR.
