Arcade Analytics - Play With Data

A set of recipes to show how to use Arcade Analytics with different data stores

Docker images of Arcade and demo databases are available on Docker hub

Prerequisites

Install Docker on you computer: https://docs.docker.com/install/

Run Arcade on your desktop using "single" (embedded) image

Arcade is provided as a all-embedded image, where hsql and embedded Elasicsearch are used instead of Postgresql and ES on separate containers. This configuration is the most indicated to be used on a desktop computer because it needs less resources. Open a shell/cmd and type:

docker-compose -f recipes/arcade-standalone.yml up

The command above starts Arcade, you can top the container with a ctrl+c on the command line. To run Arcade in background, use the -d switch:

docker-compose -f recipes/arcade-standalone.yml up -d

Point your browser to

http://localhost:8080/

login as user with password user

NOTE: This compose does not containers with test databases, they are commented and not started.

Create more users

To be able to create new users, stop Arcade with ctrl+c on the command line or, if the -d flag was used, type the command:

docker-compose -f recipes/arcade-standalone.yml down

Open the compose definition recipes/arcade-standalone.yml with an editor of your choice and fill the properties inside the compose:

      - SPRING_EMAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
      - SPRING_EMAIL_PORT=587
      - SPRING_EMAIL_USERNAME=
      - SPRING_EMAIL_PASSWORD=
      - JHIPSTER_MAIL_FROM=
      - JHIPSTER_MAIL_BASE-URL=

Then restart the container and login with admin/admin credentials. In the admin menu you are now able to create new users.
