Looking for cloud based ide/ides where i can setup apache-superset for developement

Question

I am looking to play with apache-superset on a cloud-based ide. I have it on my local. I tried unsuccessfully to set it up on gitpod. I wanted suggestions on where can I set it up, opensource preferably not necessarily. I believe cloud9 is 1 such place, but I am looking for other options before I settle. If you've ever set it up on any such platform, even if it is on gitpod and can help me, kindly do so.

You can indeed use Gitpod to work on apache-superset, and for that you'll just need a working configuration.

From what I can see in apache-superset's requirements, you'll need to get:

• PostgreSQL (eg by using Gitpod's official gitpod/workspace-full-postgres Docker base image)
• Redis (eg by installing it in a Dockerfile via sudo apt-get install )
• Various Python dependencies (eg by running pip install. after cloning)
• Various Node.js dependencies for the front-end (eg by running npm install )

Here is a basic configuration I wrote to achieve this:

https://github.com/jankeromnes/incubator-superset/commit/0d345a76ec8126fd1f8b9bc7b6ce4961bf3b593d

What it does is:

1. Create a Docker image with PostgreSQL and Redis
2. Once the repository is cloned, open 4 separate Terminals ("tasks"):

• Redis server
• Superset backend
• Superset worker
• Superset front-end

3. All dependencies will be installed automatically, and once the front-end is ready, it will automatically open in a web preview IDE side panel.

You can try it out by opening my personal fork of the apache-superset repository in Gitpod, eg by following this link:
