Not excited about the “less ambitious project”, but still better than being something that can’t be put in front of people. Glad you found Redash useful. :-)
@arikfr I've learned a lot from redash. Firstly, after knowing redash, I decided to go open-source with my service. I learned a lot from reading redash source-code/repository. Your project is amazing and was inspiration for me! Thank you!
It's probably from the perspective that (mostly) any time a smaller player is absorbed into an established one, the smaller player is assumed to not be doing so well.
I'm not 100% sure if this is a fit for your needs, but Redash[1] (open source, but there is a hosted version too) you can query spreadsheets and APIs (within limits).
Our JSON data source is not merged yet [2], although available already on the hosted version.
We (Redash) had public AMIs for AWS and GCP for a long time now. But recently started the process of creating a proper marketplace listing with them and DigitalOcean. Needless to say that we're still working on the AWS and GCP listing, while the DigitalOcean one is already live. As with everything, they created a simple and nice experience for the vendors.
We (Redash) have a similar setup (Docker Compose based) and we used Packer to build the DigitalOcean image. Our setup is public on GitHub, in case you want to copy:
Thanks for the link to dev-guide. I missed it because I was looking for instructions for standalone installation and skipped "developer guide" thinking it might be about dev docs about source code org and stuff.
Sorry if my response sounded like a snarky comment or a rant. That was not my intention. I can only thank you for an open source project and do not feel entitled for anything.
I ended up using Docker compose to get started with redash on my Mac. But, I cringe on the inside every time I am forced to use Docker (a daemon with higher privileges) to run stuff from the Internet, and it runs Postgres, Redis, a linux kernel, and so much more for essentially running a Flask application.
Now that I know redash fits my needs, I will spend the time needed to read the docker compose file and trace those steps and assemble the pieces necessary to run redash directly on my Linux server without Docker.

Actually it didn't. All good :)

Glad to hear it fits! Note that if all you need is Postgres support, don't bother with installing requirements_all_ds.txt and you can skip some of the system packages we install.
