Metabase provides an official Docker image via Docker Hub that can be used for deployments on any system that is running Docker. Here’s a one-liner that will start a container running Metabase. 

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name metabase metabase/metabase

Running on Docker documentation

Jar

JAR file

  1. Download Metabase.
  2. Create a new directory and move the Metabase JAR into it.
  3. Change into your new Metabase directory and run the JAR. 
java --add-opens java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED -jar metabase.jar

Metabase will log its progress in the terminal as it starts up. Wait until you see “Metabase Initialization Complete” and visit localhost:3000.
