    Launch on Azure MarketplaceAzure launch steps
AWS

Getting started on Amazon Web Services

From launch to signed in, step by step.

  1. Subscribe on AWS Marketplace and launch in your region with TCP 22, 80 and 8000 open; allow two to three minutes. GET /api/health returning ok is the true readiness signal.

  2. Open http://<instance-public-ip>/admin and sign in with [email protected]. phpMyAdmin: /phpmyadmin (username root). Webmin: port 8000 (username admin). The password for all three is your EC2 Instance ID (for example i-0123456789abcdef0).

  3. Add your own databases under Admin → Databases. MySQL on this instance is loopback-only, so connect to it as 127.0.0.1.

  4. SSH as ubuntu with your key pair. Change passwords with sudo bash /home/ubuntu/iscripts/pass_metabase.sh (any user, via the API), pass_mysql.sh or pass_webmin.sh.

  5. Metabase 63 is not an LTS line (end of life 2026-11-01). Plan a refresh when 0.64 ships, or ask us for a build on the 58 LTS line.

Security posture

What this AWS image does and does not ship with, one fact per line.

  • Clean-room build on Canonical's official Ubuntu 24.04 LTS image: every component comes from its own official repository or release, nothing is copied from any third-party image, and the finished image was scanned for third-party vendor strings before capture.

  • No usable credential ships in the image; passwords are set on your instance at first boot from EC2 instance metadata (IMDSv2) and the scripts that set them delete themselves afterwards.

  • SSH is key-only, root login over SSH is refused, and build-time SSH keys, shell history and logs were removed before imaging.

  • The Metabase jar is pinned to the announced v0.63.16 release with its sha256 verified, rather than a moving latest URL.

  • Only the three credentials you actually type - Metabase admin, MySQL root, Webmin - are rotated to the Instance ID at first boot; Metabase's internal application-database credential is never exposed and therefore never rotated, so first boot never has to reconfigure or restart Metabase.

  • Passwords are changed through Metabase's HTTP API rather than its database, because the credential schema moves between releases.

  • Metabase is loopback-only behind Apache; MySQL listens on 127.0.0.1.

  • Verified on a fresh instance including a stop/start and a MySQL-restart regression.

  • The bundled password tools enforce at least 10 characters with upper- and lower-case letters, a number and a symbol, and verify the new credential with a real sign-in before reporting success.

  • The image is HTTP-only by design so it works at a bare IP with no certificate warnings: terminate TLS at a load balancer or add a certificate before exposing it publicly, and restrict port 22 and any admin ports to trusted IP ranges in your security group.

Azure

Getting started on Microsoft Azure

From launch to signed in, step by step.

  1. Create the VM from the Azure Marketplace listing with TCP 22, 80 and 8000 open in your network security group. Choose ubuntu as the administrator username so SSH and the script paths match. Wait about four minutes for first boot - Metabase serves HTML slightly before its API has finished starting, so if a page looks half-built give it another minute.

  2. Open http://<vm-public-ip>/ and sign in with the email [email protected] - Metabase signs in with an email address, not a username. phpMyAdmin is at /phpmyadmin (username root) and Webmin on port 8000 (username admin or root).

  3. The password is your VM ID: in the Azure portal open the virtual machine, choose Properties and copy VM ID - a 36-character value such as 02aab8a4-74ef-476e-8182-f6d2ba4166a6, typed exactly as shown in lower case.

  4. SSH as ubuntu with your key. sudo bash ~/iscripts/pass_metabase.sh changes the Metabase password; pass_mysql.sh and pass_webmin.sh change the others.

Security posture

What this Azure image does and does not ship with, one fact per line.

  • Clean-room build on Canonical's official Ubuntu image from the Azure Marketplace: every component comes from its own official source and no third-party image was launched or copied.

  • The Metabase administrator, the MySQL root account and Webmin are all set on first boot from your VM's own vmId.

  • The Metabase application database is reachable only over loopback.

  • The pre-image cleanup proves the build's own credentials are rejected before capture, and first boot sets every password from the new VM's own vmId, read from Azure IMDS.

  • The ubuntu login account ships password-locked with an empty authorized_keys, and cloud-init installs your own SSH key at deploy time.

  • Shell history, logs and cloud-init state are cleared before capture.

  • Verified against Microsoft's documented Linux certification test cases on a VM deployed from this gallery version - 13 passed, 0 failures - with VM extension provisioning confirmed and every helper script executed rather than only reviewed.

  • Restrict port 22 to trusted IP ranges, and put the consoles behind HTTPS with your own certificate before exposing them to the internet.
