What are we missing out by using Tableau online and not server? - tableau-api

We are using Tableau Online as our BI platform, we currently have 150 users. What features on Tableau server that we are missing out on?
One of the things I recall is that we couldn't implement a font we wanted to use on Tableau Online but that would have been something very easy if we had server.
What other things we are missing?

Hope these resources would help you to understand the pros and cons better

How migration from learnpress to moodle

How can I migrate platform learnpress/wordpress contains courses pdf and video to moodle ?
Thanks in advance
I think unfortunately this question is too vague to be answered here. How many courses? Are there any blended learning components? Do you want to bring across your existing learners and their learning history? Do you want federated sign in from another system (Microsoft Azure etc.)? Do you have course programmes for different users or groups of users? Do you have any recipes set up that automate progress or signups etc.? Are there any specific features in Moodle that you're wanting to take advantage of? Will any of your business processes change?
Your best bet would be to contact a reputable Moodle specialist and they can take this further for you with a proper quotation for the work which would involve the necessary discovery process and design of a solution in Moodle that does what you need.

Generating MIS reports and dashboards using opensource technologies

Am need of your suggestion for scenario below :
one of our clients has 8 postgres DB servers used as OLTP and now wants to generate MIS reports/dashboards integrating all the data in the servers.
- There are around 100 reports to be generated
- There would be around 50k rows added to each of these databases
- the reports are to be generated for once every month
- they are running all there setup in baremetals
- they don't want to use hadoop/spark , since they think the maintainabilty will be higher
- they want to use opensource tech to accomplish this task
with all said above, one approach would be to write scripts to bring aggregated data into one server
and then manually code the reports with frontend javascript.
is there any better approach using ETL tools like Talend,Pentaho etc.
which ETL tool would be best suited for this ?
community editions of any ETL tool would suffice the above requirement..?
I know for the fact that the commercial offering of any of the ETL tools will not be in the budget.
could you please let me know your views on this.
Thanks in Advance

Sure Yes. I did similar things successfully a dozen time in my life.
My suggestion is to use Pentaho-Data-Integrator (or Talend) to collect the data in one place and then filter, aggregate and format the data. The data volume is not an issue as long as you have a decent server.
For the reports, I suggest to produce them with Pentaho-Report-Designer so that they can be send by mail (with Pentaho-DI) or distributed with a Pentaho-BI-server.
You can also make javascript front end with Pentaho-CDE.
All of these tools are mature, robust, easy to use, have a community edition and well supported by the community.

How does one import local Ghost CMS to AWS EC2

I've been working on blog using Ghost CMS and having difficulty uploading my local files to the server. I'm unexperienced using terminal and wondering if someone can help point me in the right direction. Thanks.
There are tons of guides on How To Install Ghost that may help. If you could provide more information I am sure we could help you more.
What hosting provider are you using
at what point during the upload process did you get stuck?
Also if you'd like step-by-step tutorials with screenshots, feel free to check out Ghost For Beginners.
But just a question from me, before I could elaborate more on your question:
What server are you using? Is this a VPS, or is it on the cloud?

Phone App + Online Database?

Idea: Create an database that I can integrate with an iPhone app.
As I have never worked very in-depth with online databases, I need advice on what methods are best for creating a database. The database would need to contain a list of usernames and passwords to login.
P.S. - I have my own website server.
The easiest thing would be to just use MySQL probably. Then you would define web services that expose basic access to the entities in the database. Best to do those with REST. That might be more than you are up for.
The problem with lesser solutions is that you can't have users just connecting directly to a db from the mobile app. So you have to have something talking to the db.
The other option would be to try to implement the whole thing using Game Center, since that has support for players and scores, etc. Not sure if that would be sufficient. I have looked at it but not in a lot of depth and there are changes coming in iOS 5.
In my opinion there is no need to bother with the iPhone app, just make a mobile version of the website. At the end of the day, you'll have to write the website infrastructure anyway, and with a website there is no need to worry about distribution. You'll even be able to support those using other devices.
If you are still looking for ideas, I learned a lot of what I know of web-based databases from a book called Head First PHP & MySQL (ISBN 978-0-596-00630-3). I already knew SQL and C++ (C++ is similar in many ways to PHP), but you really don't need it with book. It will teach you the very basics of both languages and how to tie them together. It will also give you a good frame of reference to Google solutions or ask informed questions.

intranet portal for the project

I would like to setup a portal for my development team to share the ideas, reports, documents, images, etc. Something similar to MS SharePoint but free/open source.
Can you please share what do you guys use for the same?
Check out DotNetNuke
Trac and MediaWiki would be my top two picks, depending on whether or not you wanted ticketing integrated. Don't forget, also, that MediaWiki has a robust plugin ecosystem, so anything you wanted to add above and beyond wiki and discussion functionality might well be available.
Redmine is another good pick - I don't love it quite as well as Trac, but it's much easier to set up on the shared host where I keep my project management tools.
