Get GoodData.CN

The easiest way to start with GoodData Cloud Native (GoodData.CN) is to use the GoodData.CN Community Edition Docker image.

This image comes with a pre-installed PostgreSQL database with sample data so that you can start your journey right away. After walking through GoodData.CN with the sample data, you will be able to connect a database with your own data.

Steps:

1. Open your terminal application, and pull the image from the Docker registry:

   Bash

   PowerShell 7

   docker pull gooddata/gooddata-cn-ce:1.3.0

   docker pull gooddata/gooddata-cn-ce:1.3.0

2. Start the image with exposed ports and an interactive terminal:

   Bash

   PowerShell 7

   docker run -i -t -p 3000:3000 -p 5432:5432 -v gd-volume:/data \
   gooddata/gooddata-cn-ce:1.3.0

   docker run -i -t -p 3000:3000 -p 5432:5432 -v gd-volume:/data `
   gooddata/gooddata-cn-ce:1.3.0

   The command will create and attach a data volume for your container. The volume can be reused for a new container when the old container is stopped. Data in the container are going to be upgraded automatically in case you start a new version of GoodData.CN Community Edition.

   Use docker volume rm gd-volume to remove the volume in case you want to start from scratch.

   When the docker container starts for the first time, you will be presented with the GoodData Non-Production License Agreement (“License”), including GoodData’s Privacy Policy. Please read it carefully. In order to use GoodData.CN, you must agree to the terms and conditions therein.

   Depending on your hardware configuration, starting the container may take approximately two minutes before it becomes fully initialized. During that time, it creates an extensive log in the standard output.

   When the output contains the following message, the container is ready to use:

   • email: demo@example.com
   • password: demo123
   • token: YWRtaW46Ym9vdHN0cmFwOmFkbWluMTIz

   After you log in, the home page opens, and you can start exploring GoodData.CN.

   

You can now continue with creating a workspace.
