Hey there Community! Pretty much as in the title. We want to get some data from our Data Explorer queries to Tableau report. Is there any guide / community thread that will guide us how to connect Tableau to our Discourse Data Source (which is PostgreSQL I guess). Thanks a lot for the help!

The following article should give you some guidelines as Power BI & Tableau is almost the same :slight_smile: [תמונה] Discourse Data Explorer Power BI integration Administrators Discourse Data Explorer Power BI integration I recently made a cool Power BI function which fetches Data Explorer data directly to Power BI with minimal overhead. Thus, if you are like me, and you wanted to have the data being automatically pulled and refreshed via the Power BI app, here’s the code of the function you should put in the Advanced Editor in Power BI: (queryID) => let resultCount = 1000, otherNameForPage = 0, GetPage = (otherNameForPage) => let…

Thanks! Is there a way to simply configure it manually so I can connect the PostgreSQL database that Data Explorer is running upon directly?

the PostgreSQL DB is inside the discourse container. I found this article. I hope this helps [Sojo] Connecting to Postgresql in a docker container from outside postgresql, docker asked by Sojo on 06:39AM - 08 Jun 16 UTC

We’ll try that and eventually circle back to you!

The problem is that there is no way to connect to PostgreSQL through docker when it comes to data sources in Tableau

Can you provide me @IAmGav with further guidance on that?

Dear @Konrad_Sopala The easiest way to accomplish what you want is to run Tableau in a Docker container. That way, you can take advantage of the core Docker networking capablities between containers. However, if you run Tableau outside Docker, you are going to have “a bear of a time” trying to get this to work smoothly. Hope this helps.
