Metabase Ocient Driver

💥Note: This project is under active development

Installation

There are a few options to installing a Metabase community driver. The simplest is to copy the JAR file into the plugins directory in your Metabase directory (the directory where you run the Metabase JAR). Additionally, you can change the location of the plugins directory by setting the environment variable MB_PLUGINS_DIR.

Docker

Use the Dockerfile to build an image of Metabase with the Ocient driver pre-installed:

git clone git@github.com:Xeograph/metabase-ocient-driver.git
cd metabase-ocient-driver
git submodule update --init
make docker-build

Use custom Metabase JAR

If you already have a Metabase binary release (see Metabase distribution page):

1. Download the Ocient driver jar from this repository's "Releases" page.
2. Create a directory and copy the metabase.jar to it.
3. In that directory create a sub-directory called plugins and copy the Ocient driver jar into it.
4. From the directory created in step 2, run java -jar metabase.jar.
