# Plausible Analytics Plausible is a lightweight, privacy-friendly web analytics tool. It gives you a clear picture of how people find and use your websites — without tracking personal data, setting cookies, or requiring cookie consent banners. All data is stored on your own infrastructure. It's a straightforward alternative to Google Analytics for organizations that care about visitor privacy and data sovereignty. ## Dependencies - **PostgreSQL** - Database for storing sites, users, and configuration - **ClickHouse** - Bundled analytics event database (deployed automatically within the Plausible namespace) ## Configuration Key settings configured through your instance's `config.yaml`: - **domain** - Where Plausible will be accessible (default: `plausible.{your-cloud-domain}`) - **plausibleStorage** - Persistent volume for Plausible app data (default: `1Gi`) - **clickhouseStorage** - Persistent volume for analytics event data (default: `10Gi`). Increase this if you expect high traffic volumes. - **disableRegistration** - Controls who can create accounts: `"false"` (open), `"invite_only"`, or `"true"` (default: `"false"`) ## Access After deployment, Plausible will be available at: - `https://plausible.{your-cloud-domain}` — Dashboard and admin ## First-Time Setup 1. Add and deploy the app: ```bash wild app add plausible wild app deploy plausible ``` 2. Open `https://plausible.{your-cloud-domain}` and register an account. The first registered user becomes the admin. 3. Once your account is created, set `disableRegistration: "invite_only"` in your `config.yaml` to prevent open registration, then redeploy: ```bash wild app deploy plausible ``` 4. Add a website in the Plausible dashboard and copy the tracking snippet into your site's ``: ```html ``` ## Inviting Users With registration set to `invite_only`, you can invite teammates from **Settings → Users** in the Plausible dashboard.
