Can Plausible be self-hosted?

At the moment we don't provide support for easily self-hosting the code. Currently, the purpose of keeping the code open-source is to be transparent with the community about how we collect and process data.

Technology

Plausible is a standard Elixir/Phoenix application backed by a PostgreSQL database. On the frontend we use TailwindCSS for styling and some vanilla Javascript for interactive bits.

Feedback & Roadmap

We have a feedback board and a public roadmap. Please let us know if you have any requests and vote on open issues so we can better prioritize.
