Self-hosting & https - how to?

Plausible Self-Hosted
#1

in the docs there is following line:

If you want to run on HTTPS you also need to set up a reverse proxy in front of the server. We have instructions and examples of how to do that below.

but there are no such instructions :frowning: how do i set up plausible on my own server with https?

#2

I guess you’ll have to use a reverse-proxy like Traefik.
I am still trying to make it works with my configuration

#3

I usually put my servers behind Cloudflare CDN Proxy which also does https for you.

If you do figure out a docker-compose setup with Traefik or Caddy + Lets Encrypt, I’d love to merge these configurations into our hosting repo.

#4

I do have a working Traefik + Let’s encrypt instance that’s corrently working.
I’ll try it for few hours/days and tell you if it works

#5

@uku

Here’s my current working configuration : https://github.com/MoryCorp/plausible.io-behind-Traefik2
Feel free to use it in your doc if this suits your needs.

Thanks for your excellent work on this @Holory.fr!

I’ve piggybacked on it and created my own configuration which puts everything together and enables geolocation as well, it’s available here :point_right: https://github.com/michelegera/docker-plausible

Very useful thank you. I just updated my repo to support goip too by lightening a bit the configuration files. A single docker-composer is much easier to use than two, especially for people not used to Docker

@Holory.fr @michelegera Thank you both and sorry for the radio silence on my end.

I think this would be a good addition to the official hosting repo and docs but I’m pretty busy with product features at the moment. I can do it sometime later. Meanwhile if either of you have time to create a PR I’d be happy to merge as well.

#9

Sure, no worry.
I’ll do it today :slight_smile:

Has anyone gotten it working with the bring-your-domain-name option for websites?

Hello everybody, and thanks Plausible for this awesome app!
If you want to install Plausible in your own webserver without any headache, I provided it as a one click app for Caprover.
So, first install Caprover, and then simply search for Plausible!
That’s it. HTTPS works out of the box :grinning:
