​
Ports and endpoints

  • UI: 3000
  • REST Catalog API: default 8182 (configurable in config.yaml)

​
Configuration

  • config.yaml mounted to /app/config.yaml in Docker for server, database, and catalog settings
  • Environment variables for overrides (for example, admin username/password on first boot, AWS credentials)
  • Keep secrets out of images; prefer mounted secrets or environment variables

​
Metadata store

  • Nimtable stores its own metadata in PostgreSQL; back up this database on your standard schedule
  • UI-added catalogs persist in this database; file-based catalogs come from config.yaml

​
Logging and observability

  • Use docker compose logs -f for quick inspection
  • Route container logs to your central log pipeline in production

​
Security

  • Change the default admin/admin credentials immediately after first login
  • Limit network exposure of the REST endpoint and UI; place behind your standard auth and TLS termination
  • Use least-privilege IAM for S3 or Glue access

​
Backup and restore

  • Back up the PostgreSQL database used by Nimtable
  • Keep a versioned copy of config.yaml for reproducible deployments
