Open Source Self-Hosted Business Intelligence Platform
Insights is a tool to visually explore a PostgreSQL database, with an emphasis on generating graphs that show business performance over time.
Think of Google Data Studio or Google Looker, but totally free, self-hosted and without the "Google" part.
See a live demo for Widgets Inc, a fictional e-commerce site.
Please be aware that is an extremely early BETA release of Insights, which has not gone through any kind of security audit.
Use on a live server at your own risk!
To install, make sure you have Node 10+ installed and then run:
npm install -g insights
insights init
insights start
This creates a folder .insights
which contains all the config and runtime data.
Insights is MIT-licensed Sponsorware. If you use it in your business, please contribute towards its development!
