Want to install PowerBI gateway on a linux system / Any other Solutions?

[MaheshMushyam]

Hi Team, @power , Received error payload from gateway service with ID 132386 , PBI Gateway to Azure Databricks Connection Error: Unable to start OAuth login for this data source? , Power BI Gateway SQL Server Connection Issues , Send a POST request with -d in Power Query , Create a fabric deployment pipeline using rest API call , Get SQL Server Data from Power BI Report Server's Rest API , On Premises Gateway for Linux Server , can i run powerbi report server in linux? , On Premises Gateway Connection with Linux Server and SHH Tunnel , Connecting MySQL on Linux to Power BI Online - Setting Up Gateway and Connection 

We have our application & Database hosted on on-premise linux machines, Now we want to create reports in PowerBI.

As we know, currently we don't have any PowerBI gateway support for linux machines.

We already identified 2 options:

1. installation in Windows and use Proxy
2. copy data to any cloud, from there powerbi can acess easily (But have limitations: cannot access live data, Sensitive data, Volume of data)

but we are also looking for best and cost efficient options

Altenatives we are exploring:
1.Install Power BI Gateway inside the container.

Please help us in finding a best solutions and any clear explanation for what we are currently exploring.

Thanks in Advance

Hi @MaheshMushyam,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

The only possible solutions for your issue are to use the Windows-based Proxy Gateway, copying data to the cloud which you have already explored. Unfortunately, at the moment these are the most feasible options.

I recommend submitting your detailed feedback and ideas through Microsoft's official feedback channels. Feedback submitted through these channels is frequently reviewed by the product teams and can contribute to meaningful improvements.

I was not heavily involved in the details for our PBI gateway installation but from what I know we have ours installed on a Windows machine on premise. From here we have used our PBI gateway to connect to our Oracle Linux database servers and various other sources.

Call me naive but the PBI gateway I believe just needs to be installed on a local machine (in your network) so it can then reach out to all your on premise data sources. I dont believe we are using Windows proxy but I would have to dig further

Hi @pankajnamekar25 ,
I want to explore for other possibilities (As windows proxy comes with a cost)
Please respond if you have any alternate solutions

Thank you
