Metabase on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS — Support & Quick Start

At a glance

Application ports	3000 (Metabase web UI)
Open in browser	http://<VM-IP>:3000/
Admin credential file	sudo cat /var/lib/metabase/admin-password
Version	Metabase 0.50
Platform	Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Quick start

1. Open http://<VM-IP>:3000/ in your browser.
2. Sign in as `admin` with the generated password (see command below), then change it immediately.
3. Connect your first database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and more) and start asking questions.

Get your admin password (one time)

SSH into the VM with the username + key you chose at deploy, then print the generated credential:

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo cat /var/lib/metabase/admin-password

Sign in as admin (unless noted), then change the password immediately. The file is root-only and can be deleted once the password is stored securely.
