I'm a very happy self-hosted Plausible user for years now. Solid, simple, and easy to maintain.
- bugfactory 2y agoDid you use the hosted version, too? I wonder if it is possible to seamlessly switch between hosted and self-hosted.
- Ameo 2y agoI've not tried their hosted version no. I doubt that there would be a seamless way to switch between them since all the data lives in Clickhouse, but I could be wrong.
- dustedcodes 2y agoHow are you self hosting it? I find its requirements extremely heavy for a simple analytics solution. It requires a PostgreSQL and Clickhouse database. I don't find self hosting Clickhouse particularly easy. Wish they had an option to just use SQLite as an alternative.
- ayuhito 2y agoI completely agree that the self-hosting story for Plausible is overkill for most websites. So much so that I made my own that focuses on self-hostability using SQLite and DuckDB (no external dependencies, can run on a 256MB VM): https://github.com/medama-io/medama https://github.com/medama-io/medama
- dustedcodes 2y agoThis looks really nice, I am going to give it a try straight away!
- Ameo 2y agoI use the docker-compose setup they provide. There are only two containers iirc, Clickhouse and their web server. Stuck it behind a NGINX frontend and it works just fine.
