These examples are quite helpful for most people, but probably unnecessary for experienced users. The loading process can sometimes take a few minutes and a good amount of CPU, so you may want to disable it on a resource-constrained device. -**Note:** Users often want to connect to other databases from Superset. Currently, the easiest way to do this is to modify the `docker-compose-non-dev.yml` file and add your database as a service that the other services depend on (via `x-superset-depends-on`). Others have attempted to set `network_mode: host` on the Superset services, but these generally break the installation, because the configuration requires use of the Docker Compose DNS resolver for the service names.

Scarf purges PII and provides aggregated statistics. Superset users can easily opt out of analytics in various ways documented [here](https://docs.scarf.sh/gateway/#do-not-track). However, if you wish to opt-out of this in your Docker-based installation, you can simply edit your `docker-compose.yml` or `docker-compose-non-dev.yml` file and remove `apachesuperset.docker.scarf.sh/` from the `x-superset-image` setting, so that it's simply pulling `apache/superset:${TAG:-latest-dev}` Review Comment: Hi @john-bodley mostly chiming in to agree with @rusackas that opting for the non-default option will significantly decrease the amount of useful data that's being collected. It should be reemphasized that all of this data is de-identified no matter what, and that the ASF has approved Scarf as a verified external service provider in the past for other ASF projects (see Privacy Policy [here](https://privacy.apache.org/policies/privacy-policy-public.html#g-scarf-download-analytics)), which have deployed Scarf live to their projects for several years now -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
