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:

Open https://plausible.<your-domain>
Register an account
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:

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