I've added the DBT plugin to do transformations. Is it possible to activate the DBT UI to view DAGs using this setup?

Hi @hank_calzaretta. It is possible to activate the docs ui with meltano, though you'll need to explicitly declare the target dialect (whatever
target-*
) you're using for your warehouse:
Copy code
$ DBT_TARGET=postgres meltano invoke dbt docs generate
Running with dbt=0.20.1
Found 1 model, 0 tests, 0 snapshots, 0 analyses, 147 macros, 0 operations, 0 seed files, 4 sources, 0 exposures

17:55:27 | Concurrency: 4 threads (target='postgres')
17:55:27 |
17:55:28 | Done.
17:55:28 | Building catalog

$ DBT_TARGET=postgres meltano invoke dbt docs serve

Thanks @edgar_ramirez_mondragon! The webSever started but it's inaccessible......I'm assuming that's because I'm running meltano from a docker container. I'll look into that further.
