- Docker Community Edition
- Docker Compose
- pyenv (you can also use pyenv-virtualenv or virtualenvwrapper)
- Installing required packages for Docker and setting up docker repo
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install \
apt-transport-https \
ca-certificates \
curl \
gnupg-agent \
software-properties-common
$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo add-apt-repository \
"deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"
- Install Docker
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
- Creating group for docker and adding current user to it.
$ sudo groupadd docker
$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Note : After adding user to docker group Logout and Login again for group membership re-evaluation.
- Test Docker installation
$ docker run hello-world
- Installing latest version of Docker Compose
$ COMPOSE_VERSION="$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep '"tag_name":'\
| cut -d '"' -f 4)"
$ COMPOSE_URL="https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/${COMPOSE_VERSION}/\
docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)"
$ sudo curl -L "${COMPOSE_URL}" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
- Verifying installation
$ docker-compose --version
- Checking required packages
$ sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev \
libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev \
xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev python-openssl git
$ sudo apt install build-essentials python3.6-dev python3.7-dev python3.8-dev python-dev openssl \

- Install pyenv
$ curl https://pyenv.run | bash
- Add the lines suggested at the end of installation to ~/.bashrc
- Restart your shell so the path changes take effect and verifying installation
$ exec $SHELL
$ pyenv --version
- Checking available version, installing required Python version to pyenv and verifying it
$ pyenv install --list
$ pyenv install 3.8.5
$ pyenv versions
- Creating new virtual environment named
airflow-env
for installed version python. In next chapter virtual environmentairflow-env
will be used for installing airflow.
$ pyenv virtualenv 3.8.5 airflow-env
- Entering virtual environment
airflow-env
$ pyenv activate airflow-env
Note
Only pip
installation is currently officially supported.
While they are some successes with using other tools like poetry or
pip-tools, they do not share the same workflow as
pip
- especially when it comes to constraint vs. requirements management.
Installing via Poetry
or pip-tools
is not currently supported.
If you wish to install airflow using those tools you should use the constraint files and convert them to appropriate format and workflow that your tool requires.
Goto https://github.com/apache/airflow/ and fork the project.
Goto your github account's fork of airflow click on
Code
and copy the clone link.Open PyCharm and click
Get from Version Control
Paste the copied clone link in URL and click on clone.
- Open terminal and enter into virtual environment
airflow-env
and goto project directory
$ pyenv activate airflow-env
$ cd ~/PycharmProjects/airflow/
- Initializing breeze autocomplete
$ ./breeze setup-autocomplete
$ source ~/.bash_completion.d/breeze-complete
- Initialize breeze environment with required python version and backend. This may take a while for first time.
$ ./breeze --python 3.8 --backend mysql
- Creating airflow tables and users.
airflow db reset
is required to execute at least once for Airflow Breeze to get the database/tables created.
$ airflow db reset
$ airflow users create --role Admin --username admin --password admin --email [email protected] --firstname\
foo --lastname bar
- Closing Breeze environment. After successfully finishing above command will leave you in container,
type
exit
to exit the container
root@b76fcb399bb6:/opt/airflow#
root@b76fcb399bb6:/opt/airflow# exit
$ ./breeze stop
Installing airflow in the local virtual environment
airflow-env
with breeze.It may requires some packages to be installed, watch the output of the command to see which ones are missing.
$ sudo apt-get install sqlite libsqlite3-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev postgresql
$ ./breeze initialize-local-virtualenv --python 3.8
- Add following line to ~/.bashrc in order to call breeze command from anywhere.
export PATH=${PATH}:"/home/${USER}/PycharmProjects/airflow"
source ~/.bashrc
- Starting breeze environment using
breeze start-airflow
starts Breeze environment with last configuration run( In this case python and backend will be picked up from last execution./breeze --python 3.8 --backend mysql
) It also automatically starts webserver, backend and scheduler. It drops you in tmux with scheduler in bottom left and webserver in bottom right. Use[Ctrl + B] and Arrow keys
to navigate.
$ breeze start-airflow
Use CI image.
Branch name: main
Docker image: apache/airflow:main-python3.8-ci
Airflow source version: 2.0.0b2
Python version: 3.8
DockerHub user: apache
DockerHub repo: airflow
Backend: mysql 5.7
Port forwarding:
Ports are forwarded to the running docker containers for webserver and database
* 28080 -> forwarded to Airflow webserver -> airflow:8080
* 25555 -> forwarded to Flower dashboard -> airflow:5555
* 25433 -> forwarded to Postgres database -> postgres:5432
* 23306 -> forwarded to MySQL database -> mysql:3306
* 26379 -> forwarded to Redis broker -> redis:6379
Here are links to those services that you can use on host:
* Webserver: http://127.0.0.1:28080
* Flower: http://127.0.0.1:25555
* Postgres: jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:25433/airflow?user=postgres&password=airflow
* Mysql: jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:23306/airflow?user=root
* Redis: redis://127.0.0.1:26379/0
Alternatively you can start the same using following commands
- Start Breeze
$ breeze --python 3.8 --backend mysql
- Open tmux
$ root@0c6e4ff0ab3d:/opt/airflow# tmux
- Press Ctrl + B and "
$ root@0c6e4ff0ab3d:/opt/airflow# airflow scheduler
- Press Ctrl + B and %
$ root@0c6e4ff0ab3d:/opt/airflow# airflow webserver
Now you can access airflow web interface on your local machine at http://127.0.0.1:28080 with user name
admin
and passwordadmin
.
3. Setup mysql database in
MySQL Workbench with Host 127.0.0.1
, port 23306
, user root
and password
blank(leave empty), default schema
airflow
.
- Stopping breeze
root@f3619b74c59a:/opt/airflow# ./stop_airflow.sh
root@f3619b74c59a:/opt/airflow# exit
$ breeze stop
- Knowing more about Breeze
$ breeze --help
For more information visit : Breeze documentation
Following are some of important topics of Breeze documentation:
- Configuring Airflow database connection
Airflow is by default configured to use SQLite database. Configuration can be seen on local machine
~/airflow/airflow.cfg
undersql_alchemy_conn
.Installing required dependency for MySQL connection in
airflow-env
on local machine.$ pyenv activate airflow-env $ pip install PyMySQL
Now set
sql_alchemy_conn = mysql+pymysql://root:@127.0.0.1:23306/airflow?charset=utf8mb4
in file~/airflow/airflow.cfg
on local machine.
- Debugging an example DAG in PyCharm
Add Interpreter to PyCharm pointing interpreter path to
~/.pyenv/versions/airflow-env/bin/python
, which is virtual environmentairflow-env
created with pyenv earlier. For adding an Interpreter go toFile -> Setting -> Project: airflow -> Python Interpreter
.In PyCharm IDE open airflow project, directory
\files\dags
of local machine is by default mounted to docker machine when breeze airflow is started. So any DAG file present in this directory will be picked automatically by scheduler running in docker machine and same can be seen onhttp://127.0.0.1:28080
.Copy any example DAG present in airflow project's
\airflow\example_dags
directory to\files\dags\
.Add main block at the end of your DAG file to make it runnable. It will run a back_fill job:
if __name__ == "__main__": from airflow.utils.state import State dag.clear(dag_run_state=State.NONE) dag.run()
Add
AIRFLOW__CORE__EXECUTOR=DebugExecutor
to Environment variable of Run Configuration.Click on Add configuration
Add Script Path and Environment Variable to new Python configuration
Now Debug an example dag and view the entries in tables such as
dag_run, xcom
etc in mysql workbench.
Click on branch symbol in the bottom right corner of Pycharm

Often it takes several days or weeks to discuss and iterate with the PR until it is ready to merge.
In the meantime new commits are merged, and you might run into conflicts, therefore you should periodically
synchronize main in your fork with the apache/airflow
main and rebase your PR on top of it. Following
describes how to do it.
