Does anyone know of a Linux equivalent to tableau?
Hi, I'm a linux hobbyist who has tinkered with postgis and apache to manipulate data for display in QGis and as tables and charts using apache. - I like to think I have a reasonable knowledge of databases but don't do it all day every day ;) I have recently been introduced to Tableau (https://www.tableau.com) which operates on Windows and on Mac clients. It seems to me to be a GUI for what I do with Postgis and apache (with a bit of R functionality added - Learning R is on my 'to do' list) Does anyone know about tableau, and whether there is a FOSS equivalent? I am on and off line at the moment, so may be slow to respond to comments. With thanks

I would suggest looking at elasticsearch + Kibana. Entirely open source. I don't think Kibana is a complete replacement for Tableau, however this really depends on your requirements. If it is sufficient, it is probably a better solution. -- Brian May <brian@linuxpenguins.xyz> https://linuxpenguins.xyz/brian/
+1 for elastic But are you sure tableau is win/Mac only? I will have to double check but I am pretty sure the latest tableau server I just setup was on a Linux machine. Nick On Tue., 6 Nov. 2018, 1:21 pm Brian May via luv-main <luv-main@luv.asn.au wrote:

RShiny is probably the closest thing. Otherwise Jupyter Notebooks. Otherwise Dash by Plotly. On Tue, 6 Nov 2018 at 12:02, h via luv-main <luv-main@luv.asn.au> wrote:

There's also something called "Orange" from memory -- might be similar but I think this is closer to Matlab. On Tue, 6 Nov 2018 at 12:02, h via luv-main <luv-main@luv.asn.au> wrote:

Tableau is popular with data analysts, but it's one of the most expensive packages around. It has quite a lot of features around data discovery, and enterprise-compatible ways to create and share reports, and integrates with a lot of data sources -- but I don't think you're using those sort of premium features. If you find a FOSS package that manages to incorporate the data discovery stuff from Tableau then I'd be interested to hear of it. As others have mentioned, Kibana is probably the most similar in terms of creating reports - but I believe it is tightly coupled to Elasticsearch, so that's a whole new syntax to learn. Other projects worth mentioning are Google's Data Studio, and Periscope Data -- neither are FOSS, but they're compatible with Linux and I think free for personal use / low levels of usage. Toby
https://orange.biolab.si/ is what I was thinking of earlier On Tue, 13 Nov 2018 at 12:39, Toby Corkindale via luv-main < luv-main@luv.asn.au> wrote:
