The online installation of DataEase open source data visualization analysis tool (dataease.io) is performed by executing Linux commands on the server command line. However, in the actual installation and deployment process, many data analysts or business personnel often encounter some obstacles in the process of installing DataEase because they are not familiar with the Linux operating system and command line operations.
For this situation, users can choose to install DataEase through the 1Panel open source Linux server operation and maintenance management panel (1panel.cn). Both DataEase and 1Panel are open source projects of FIT2CLOUD. 1Panel can provide good support for the installation of DataEase, which reduces the difficulty of the user's online installation process, simplifies the installation process, and allows users to quickly install and use DataEase.
installation steps
1. Install 1Panel
For the introduction of 1Panel installation and basic functions, please refer to 1Panel official documentation (https://1panel.cn/docs/installation/online_installation/).
After completing the installation and deployment of 1Panel and having a certain understanding of the basic functions of 1Panel, copy the entrance URL displayed on the installation completion interface to the browser to open. After entering the website and seeing the following 1Panel operation interface, it means that 1Panel has been installed successfully.
2. Install the basic software MySQL database
Before installing DataEase, we need to install the database software MySQL required for the operation of DataEase on 1Panel. Select the "MySQL" application in the 1Panel application store, click the "Install" button, and select the "5.7.xx" version (note: in order to adapt to the upcoming DataEase installation, the "5.7.xx" version must be selected here).
Next, set the parameters. After the setting is completed, click the "OK" button.
In the MySQL installation interface, the meanings of each item to be filled are as follows:
■ Name: Create the name of the MySQL application;
■ root user password: the root user password to which the MySQL application belongs;
■ Port: the service port of the MySQL application;
■ Container name: the container name corresponding to the MySQL application;
■ CPU limit: the number of CPU cores that MySQL applications can use;
■ Memory limit: The memory size that MySQL application can use.
After the application starts to install, the page will automatically jump to the list of installed applications. Wait until the status of the MySQL application just installed changes to the "started" status, then the MySQL database tool has been successfully installed on the server.
3. Install DataEase
Confirm that the MySQL database has been installed. Enter the application list in the 1Panel application store, select the "DataEase" application, and click the "Install" button.

Click the "Install" button to enter the "Details" page, and select the latest DataEase version to install.
In the DataEase installation interface, the meanings of the items to be filled are as follows:
■ Name: the name of the DataEase application to be created;
■ Database service: the database application used by the DataEase application. This option supports the drop-down selection of the MySQL database application installed in the server, and 1Panel will automatically configure DataEase to use the database;
■ Database name: the name of the database used by the DataEase application, 1Panel will automatically create the DataEase database in the selected MySQL database;
■ Database user: the database user name used by the DataEase application, 1Panel will automatically create the user in the selected MySQL database and add the corresponding database authorization;
■ Database user password: the database user password used by the DataEase application, 1Panel will automatically configure the password for the user created in the previous step in the selected MySQL database;
■ Administrator: the super administrator user name created by DataEase application initialization;
■ Administrator password: the super administrator password created by DataEase application initialization (subsequent login system can be changed);
■ Port: the service port of DataEase application;
■ Container name: the container name corresponding to the DataEase application;
■ CPU limit: the number of CPU cores that DataEase application can use;
■ Memory limit: the memory size that DataEase application can use;
■ Port external access: After enabling this option, the DataEase application can use IP:PORT to access (note: in order to ensure the normal operation of the DataEase application, the "port external access" option must be enabled).
After the application starts to install, the page will automatically jump to the list of installed applications. Wait until the status of the DataEase application just installed changes to "Started", then the DataEase open source data visualization analysis tool has been successfully installed on the server.
4. Visit DataEase
After DataEase is successfully installed, enter "IP address: port" in the browser navigation bar to access, and you can log in to the installed DataEase. The initial default account and password of DataEase are "admin" and "dataease" respectively. After logging in to DataEase for the first time, the system will force the user to change the password of the admin user. After the password is changed, log in to the system again to use DataEase.
Frequently Asked Questions During Installation
1. What is the installation mode of DataEase installed by 1Panel?
DataEase installed through 1Panel adopts the Simple installation mode. Using 1Panel to install DataEase is not recommended to change the installation mode. If the installation mode is changed, some additional complicated steps will be generated in the installation process.
If you want to build DataEase in other modes, it is recommended to read the DataEase online documentation (https://dataease.io/docs/installation/offline_installation/) and use the installation package for offline installation.
2. What is the difference between Simple mode and Local mode when installing DataEase?
① From the point of view of system function:
■ There is no timing synchronization function in the Simple mode, and the data in the Excel dataset and API dataset will be saved in the MySQL database;
■ Local mode has timing synchronization function, and the data in Excel dataset and API dataset will be saved in Doris.
In addition to whether it has the timing synchronization function, the data source, data set and dashboard functions of DataEase in the two installation modes are exactly the same, and users do not need to worry that DataEase installed in Simple mode will have basic functions when making dashboards missing.
② From the perspective of system architecture:
Compared with DataEase installed in Local mode, DataEase installed in Simple mode lacks two components, Kettle and Doris. That is to say, DataEase installed in Simple mode has only two components, DataEase itself and MySQL database.
Summarize
Both 1Panel and DataEase are relatively easy-to-use open source tools, but they belong to different fields. 1Panel is an open source Linux server operation and maintenance management panel, and DataEase is an open source data visualization analysis tool. The combination of the two simplifies the operation difficulty for users in terms of server operation and maintenance and software installation.
After the installation is complete, DataEase is easy to use and easy to operate, which is convenient for users with data visualization needs to get started quickly. It can help data analysts or business personnel to create a clear and beautiful dashboard large screen to gain insight into business trends.
