What it is

Plausible Analytics is an open-source, privacy-first web analytics platform built in Elixir and TypeScript that replaces Google Analytics without cookies, IP logging, or personal data collection. It provides a lightweight JavaScript tracker and cloud/self-hosted deployment options, with core analytics features like goal tracking, funnels, and revenue attribution stored in ClickHouse and PostgreSQL. Modular Elixir/Phoenix monolith: lib/plausible/ contains domain logic organized by feature (auth/, billing/, annotations/, audit/), with lib/mix/tasks/ providing CLI utilities for data management (IP registries, country databases, subscriptions). E2E tests in TypeScript/Playwright separate from…

Start here

Open these first:

  • lib/plausible/application.ex — Application entry point defining supervision tree, OTP startup, and core service initialization.
  • lib/plausible.ex — Main namespace module providing public API and top-level context for analytics operations.
  • lib/plausible/clickhouse_repo.ex — ClickHouse repository abstraction handling analytics event persistence and time-series queries.
  • lib/plausible/billing/billing.ex — Core billing logic managing subscriptions, plan features, and quota enforcement.
  • lib/plausible/auth/auth.ex — Authentication service handling user login, session management, and permission checks.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Unable to infer exact setup from provided data. Repository has no mix.exs or package.json visible in file list. Verify repository structure and check for: (1) mix.exs for Elixir dependencies (build with `mix deps.get &&…

Daily commands:

No Makefile or package.json root-level commands visible for dev server. The provided e2e/package.json only runs tests (npm test). Infer: (1) For backend: mix phx.server (standard Phoenix); (2) For e2e tests: `cd e2e…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • AGPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
  • Scorecard: default branch unprotected (1/10)
  • Payment webhook secrets for Paddle must be configured in environment (lib/plausible/billing/paddle_api.ex suggests API token setup). ClickHouse and PostgreSQL must be running and accessible via configured connection…
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
