On Premises Gateway for Linux Server

[nyn_prshr]

Hello Everyone,

I have a MySQL data source that It's on a Linux Server and I would like to configure data source on the Power BI web service and create a Schedule Refresh. But, it requires the on-premises gateway to be installed on Linux Server.

As I know that it is not possible to install a gateway in Linux server. So, could you please suggest for any possible alternatives?

Thanks

So the answer is it's not possible to install the gateway on Linux? It makes little sense, in such case we need to maintain a windows machine dedicated just for the gateway, meaning additional cost...

What kind of rights and how should the Microsft gateway server needs access to the Linux MYSQL server? ODBC? SSH?

You don't have to install the gateway on the same server

Install it on a Windows VM that would be able to access data source

We have one gateway, that has access to both Oracle and SQL server data sources
