Features
Official CE Docker stack
Kumo launches the Plausible Community Edition image with Postgres for application data and ClickHouse for event storage.
IP access first, domain when ready
The instance starts at http://SERVER_IP:8000. For production, point DNS to the server, place it behind your reverse proxy, and update BASE_URL.
Persistent event storage
Postgres, ClickHouse, event logs, and Plausible runtime data are stored on Docker volumes so restarts keep your analytics intact.
What you can do with it
- Track product sites, docs, blogs, and launch pages on infrastructure you control.
- Give teams a simple analytics dashboard without wiring up a large marketing suite.
- Keep first-party analytics close to your app, reverse proxy, and server logs.

Frequently asked questions
What is self-hosted Plausible?
It is Plausible Community Edition running on a server that belongs to your account. You control the VM, Docker stack, data location, and network exposure.
What services are deployed?
Kumo deploys the official Plausible CE application image, Postgres 16 for relational data, and ClickHouse 24.12 for event analytics, using the low-resource ClickHouse configuration from the CE repository.
How do I access it after deployment?
Open http://SERVER_IP:8000 and create the first user. The deployment output shows the exact endpoint for your server.
Can I use my own domain and HTTPS?
Yes. Point DNS to the server, run Plausible behind your reverse proxy or TLS setup, then update BASE_URL in /opt/plausible/.env and restart Docker Compose.
What size should I choose?
Plausible CE recommends at least 2 GB of RAM because ClickHouse is part of the stack. Start with Starter Analytics for small sites, use Growing Site for more headroom, and choose Production Analytics for higher-traffic teams.
Ready to deploy your own Plausible?
Spin it up on a server you control. We handle provisioning and Docker — you keep the keys.
