<![CDATA[How are you using Redash?]]>Anyone using it?
How so?
Have you successfully pointed it at the local Cloudron DBs?

Here's an example of a table that I haven't customized the data model on at all, but it did a good job with, as an example:

Edit: Ugh, no GIFs allowed. Here's a sequence of static shots:

I'd suggest playing with both - there's necessarily going to be a fair bit of preference at play here.

Not played with Redash yet but if anyone knows if it does pivot-tables, that would be a huge win for creating self-service reporting tools.

I've played with Apache Superset before, the other of the "big 3" in this space (if we keep Grafana separate; imo not in the same category) though I don't remember a ton about it by comparison. Either way, pointing it at the databases was the easy part.

docker inspect mysql | grep IPAddress

With this and with the credentials of the application database, you can connect Redash.
