Steps to quickstart Airflow

note

You can run the following commands in a terminal on Mac/Linux or in PowerShell on Windows in the folder you want airflow configs to be placed.

We will start by cloning this repo

git clone https://github.com/shantanukhond/learn-airflow.git
cd learn-airflow

Once cloned we will copy .env.example to .env

cp .env.example .env
echo "AIRFLOW_UID=$(id -u)" >> .env

You can change default username and password if needed in .env file. Also you can change Version.

Once done we will start with

docker compose up airflow-init
docker compose up -d

When startup finishes, open the Airflow UI at http://localhost:8080.
