# Plausible CE Notes

## ClickHouse

Plausible requires ClickHouse for analytics event storage. Unlike other app dependencies, ClickHouse is **bundled within the Plausible app** (not a separate Wild Cloud app). It runs in the same namespace with low-resource settings suitable for small/medium deployments.

ClickHouse data is stored in the `clickhouse-data` PVC (default 10Gi). Resize `clickhouseStorage` in your config before deploying if you expect heavy traffic.

## First Admin User

The first user to register becomes the site admin. After deploying:
1. Open `https://plausible.<your-domain>`
2. Register an account
3. That account has admin access

## Registration Control

Set `disableRegistration` in config:
- `"false"` — open registration (default, good for initial setup)
- `"invite_only"` — admin can invite users
- `"true"` — no new registrations

Set to `"invite_only"` or `"true"` after creating your admin account.

## Email / SMTP

Plausible can send email for password resets and notifications. Configure these manually in your instance's `secrets.yaml` and environment variables:
- `MAILER_ADAPTER`: `Bamboo.SMTPAdapter`
- `MAILER_EMAIL`: from address
- `SMTP_HOST_ADDR`, `SMTP_HOST_PORT`, `SMTP_USER_NAME`, `SMTP_USER_PWD`

## Tracker Script

Add the tracking script to your websites:

```html
<script defer data-domain="yourdomain.com" src="https://plausible.<your-domain>/js/script.js"></script>
```
