Deploy Metabase on Antyxsoft Cloud
Business intelligence your whole team can use: ask questions of your database in plain terms, and keep the answers — and the data — in your own environment.

- Open source edition — no additional charge
Create an instance, pick Marketplace App at the template step, and choose it from the list. You pay for the instance.
What Metabase gives you
Metabase is an open-source business intelligence tool built for people who do not write SQL. It connects to your databases and offers a question builder — pick a table, filter, group, visualise — alongside a full SQL editor for the analysts who do.
Running it on your own instance means the dashboards and the credentials that feed them stay inside your infrastructure, which matters when the underlying data is customer or financial.
Key features
- Question builder. Point-and-click querying with filters, summaries and joins, no SQL required.
- Dashboards. Grouped charts with filters, auto-refresh and subscriptions by email or chat.
- SQL editor. Native queries, saved and reusable, with variables and templates.
- Permissions. Per-group access to databases, collections and individual questions.
- Alerts. Notifications when a metric crosses a threshold.

Getting started
Four steps from sign-in to a running application. The full walkthrough, with screenshots, is in the knowledge base.
-
01
Log in to the Cloud Portal
Sign in at portal.antyxsoft.io and start creating an instance, choosing the region closest to your users.
-
02
At Select Template, open Marketplace App
In the instance creation flow, switch from operating-system images to the Marketplace App tab.
-
03
Pick the template and deploy
Select the ready-to-go template, confirm the plan and region, then review and deploy. The instance boots with the application installed.
-
04
Finish the application setup
Open the web interface, create the administrator account, then connect your first database and invite the team.
Before it carries real traffic
- Attach a Cloud Firewall that opens only the ports this application needs, with management access limited to your own addresses.
- Schedule backups covering both the database and the application's data directory.
- Add a Block Storage volume for data that will outgrow the instance disk.
- Put it inside a VPC when it needs private access to other services.
