The Plausible Bootstrapper

What it does

The Plausible Bootstrapper is a one-time script for setting up self-hosted Plausible Analytics, one of the best Google Analytics alternatives available. Run it, and in minutes, you'll have secure web analytics ready to back any number of websites.

Starting with a fresh DigitalOcean droplet, here's what it'll look like to spin up a fresh instance of the Plausible Analytics Community Edition. Think of it as a fast track to getting a self-hosted web analytics platform stood up & ready to go. All you'll need to do is provision an Ubuntu virtual machine (on DigitalOcean , Linode , or something else) and have a domain ready to host it on. This script will take care of the rest. For you, that means: It'll automatically configure an TLS certificate that renews on its own. This thing will install all system dependencies and activate the Docker containers powering Plausible Analytics. A reverse proxy via nginx will be configured to make the…from plausiblebootstrapper.com

  Vince – A self hosted alternative to Google Analytics2024 · github.com · ▲283

  For the past 3 years I have been working on a Golang port of plausible analytics dashboard. vince is a single binary, single user with multiple website system with zero runtime dependency. Key featues: - Automatic TLS - Outbounds link tracking - File downloads tracking - 404 pages tracking - Custom event tracking And so much more, basically everything that you see on plausible dashboard except funnels and custom properties. You can use vince as a drop in replacement for plausible for personal websites. The goal is to make the plausible dashboard easily accessible for people who like to self…

  It took me 5() months to build a Plausible alternative2024 · ▲44

  After months of using Google Analytics I realized only about 50% of people accepted my cookie-popup. I had months of incorrect data for my website. I started looking for alternatives and eventually found Plausible, which is great (and open-source). Problem is, I didn't feel like paying 9$ a month to see the amount of visitors on a website i didn't even earn anything on, it was just a hobby project. Eventually I started making my own web analytics. Which actually isn't that hard. It took me about a month of working on my spare time every now and then. Being GDPR compliant basically means to…

  Talanoa▲345

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
