Hi all,
So to sum up my situation, i'm currently creating reports on power bi using SQL Data as well as some external files like excel files. I also use a gateway to acces all files used in each reports. But the gateway is hosted locally on my laptop.
On the long run, i would like to host both the reports and the gateway online. I was maybe thinking about azure where i found the power bi embeded option, but it does not seem a good solution so far.
My other idea was to host every thing on a Virtual Machine, but not the sexiest solution.
So yeah if you have any hints on how to avoid hosting locally on a laptop that's not always on 🙂
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @PrestaPower ,
Actually, we do not recommend installing the gateway on my laptop locally.
This official document suggests us install on a computer that is always on.
For your requirement, I recommend that you install the gateway on a server in the same domain as the device your need refresh the dataset in power bi service and that this server is always on.
Best Regards,
Cherry
