Plausible (Analytics Platform)

[Sydney]

Thank you for the feedback. I am very excited for Plausible to be a part of the Cloudron app store, and I wish you the best of luck in packaging Clickbase for Cloudron.

For backing up and restoring the Clickbase database, you may reference the clickbase-backup.sh and clickbase-restore.sh scripts in my repository.

Should you use any of my code in the Clickhouse addon, I am happy to assign copyright to you - just send me a release form.

In the meantime, for those who are not willing to wait for @girish , feel free to use the code in my repository - it provisions a fully working installation of Plausible with a local Clickhouse db.

@Sydney , thank you very much, indeed!

I really hope an app will make to Cloudron sooner, rather than later!

Lets support Plausible Analytics on Cloudron.

Bump on this. I can see it being another one that will bring in new Cloudron users.

I used Plausible and Matomo side-by-side. It seemed Plausible is a proprietary solution. Matomo is kind of "fauxpen-source" / "open core", with some desirable modules being proprietary. I prefered Matomo.

Plausible is supported in Odoo, by the way.

What do you mean? it's AGPL https://github.com/plausible/analytics/blob/master/LICENSE.md

Saw an alternative today - https://github.com/vinceanalytics/vince . Main thing is it doesn't require Clickhouse...

Per the docs, they only release twice a year (unlike the SaaS version which has continuous updates). Do you know what this means in terms of security updates?

Does look cool and more freedom-orientated.

We also have this that I know many people would like to see:

@girish We contributed some code back to Plausible Analytics some time ago to accomplish some things we wanted on our time line rather than theirs. They publish infrequent "official" updates to the self-hosted Docker code in part to minimize the support impact on their small development team. I believe they publish their code (not self-hosted) updates more frequently, which might give visibility to security updates and new features. Their primary source of revenue is from paid accounts that they host on their own infrastructure, so perhaps another reason is to entice customers to use their hosted Plausible solution.

FWIW, we do both, in part to support their efforts. They are solid and I have nothing but good things to say about them as a company, a platform, and as individuals.
