Superset configuration on a production version of superset in docker

Expected results

The ability to add a superset configuration on a production version of superset running on docker.

Actual results

Unable to configure a superset configuration on docker.

Environment

• superset version: 1.1.0
• python version: 3.8.5
• node.js version: 10.19.0

Additional context

I am new to superset, I have followed the steps from here and I am successfully running a non-dev version of superset on docker. Now I wanted to enable a configuration ENABLE_TEMPLATE_PROCESSING which is set to False by default. How do I do this? I have read this section but it only says you need to create a file superset_config.py and add it to your PYTHONPATH. I am not a python dev so I do not know how to do this and how this works with the docker container. Anyone can help?

Hi, I have a similar setup, here’s what I did

Dockerfile :

FROM .......superset parent image you want

ADD superset_config.py  /app/pythonpath/

and the file superset_config.py itself contains your configuration

FEATURE_FLAGS = {
    "ENABLE_TEMPLATE_PROCESSING": True
}

less flexible than a mounted volume but works in a serverless environment. Just docker build from this Dockerfile and you can deploy on your production env.

Thanks, but I am already running superset using docker-compose and I was trying to figure out on which path to mount it to.

Got it, I added the FEATURE_FLAG in the superset_config.py which was present in the cloned repository path superset/docker/pythonpath_dev.
