Running Apache Superset image on Rocky (Redhat) Linux 9

Running containers on Rocky Linux 9 is pretty trivial via the Cockpit webui (available on <server ip>:9090)

The Superset container from docker.io is available for download using the container management page in Cockpit. Under the Podman menu, click the three dots and search for superset. The first entry should be the Apache Superset entry:


By default, when the container starts it looks for an environment variable called SUPERSET_SECRET_KEY which can be configured either inside the container configs or passed through as an environment variable, which is the more convenient method used here.

First generate a key with openssl

openssl rand -base64 42

Then simply add the environment variable and generated key under the integration section when create the container.  A port mapping for 8088 is also required to access to the web gui inside the container
