The best approach for 4 people is to run **one shared Superset instance** that everyone connects to via browser. **Practical options (simplest → most robust):** 1. **One person hosts locally and shares the URL** — Run Superset on one machine (e.g. `http://192.168.x.x:8088`) and the other 3 access it over the same network. Create accounts for each person with `superset fab create-user`. 2. **Docker Compose on a shared server** — The [official Docker Compose setup](https://github.com/apache/superset/tree/master/docker) is the easiest way to run a stable shared instance. One person sets it up and shares the URL. 3. **Cloud/VPS deployment** — Deploy on a cloud VM so it's accessible from anywhere. This gives you one `SECRET_KEY`, one metadata DB, and shared charts/dashboards/database connections with no decryption conflicts. **What to keep in git:** - `superset_config.py` (but **never** commit the actual `SECRET_KEY` — use an environment variable) - `docker-compose.yml` or deployment scripts - Any custom assets/plugins **Never put `superset.db` in git** — it's a binary SQLite file and will cause merge conflicts. **To add a database:** Once your shared instance is running, go to **Settings → Database Connections → + Database** in the Superset UI. Any database connection you add there will be available to all users on that instance (subject to permissions). You don't add databases to the file/folder structure directly — they're registered through the web interface and stored in the metadata database. For your immediate situation: pick one machine to be the "server," do a fresh `superset db upgrade && superset init`, and have your teammates log into it over the network instead of running their own local copies. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
