What it is and what it does
This is an Apache Airflow provider package that bundles Flask App Builder integration for Airflow's web interface and authentication layer. It sits on top of an existing Airflow installation (>=3.0.2) and supplies the UI framework, session management, form handling, and JWT-based authentication that Airflow uses to serve its web dashboard and admin panels. The package pulls in 17 runtime dependencies, primarily Flask ecosystem libraries (flask, flask-appbuilder, flask-login, flask-session, flask-sqlalchemy, flask-wtf) plus supporting utilities like blinker, cachetools, jmespath, marshmallow, msgpack, and werkzeug. It supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 and is actively maintained as part of the Apache Airflow project.
You would install this when setting up or maintaining an Airflow deployment that needs its web UI and user authentication. It is not a standalone tool but a provider extension that Airflow itself depends on to function as a web application. Optional extras for Kerberos and OAuth authentication are available if your deployment requires those protocols.
Use it for
- Deploy Airflow with a functional web UI for monitoring DAGs, task execution, and logs.
- Manage Airflow user authentication and session handling in a multi-user environment.
- Integrate Airflow with OAuth or Kerberos authentication for enterprise identity management.
- Customize Airflow's admin interface using Flask App Builder components.
- Serve Airflow's web dashboard behind a production Flask application.
