Hi,
I was looking at Plausible Analytics docs, and I am a bit sad. Looks like they decided that the self-hosted version should be really hard to find in the docs if it still exists like with many “free” software. I hope I am wrong and just can’t find the instructions? A similar story went down with Posthog, where they intentionally lowered the quality of the docs for the self-hosted version until it was almost impossible to use it.
So, I would really like to find detailed instructions on how to install and manage your own instance of Plausable Analytics, being self-hosted. Can someone help, or am I missing some important fact? Like, not supporting the self-hosted version anymore?
Thanks for the info…
Kind regards,
Tomaz

Here it is : GitHub - plausible/community-edition: Example Docker Compose setup for hosting Plausible Community Edition · GitHub
I found it actually quite easy to maintain and upgrade over the years
. The guides are well done and cover quite a lot of edge cases.
(See Home · plausible/community-edition Wiki · GitHub )

If you are running with limited storage, do not overlook turning off the Clickhouse logs (done by default in the example compose file), unless you want GB of query logs building up pretty quickly…
