Self-hosted, cookie-free web analytics (open-source Community Edition 3.2.1, AGPL-3.0) with PostgreSQL and ClickHouse on Ubuntu 24.04. Owner created at first login, registration closed. Pinned, HTTPS.
Overview
This AMI runs a self-hosted, privacy-first web analytics application on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: a lightweight tracking script on your own websites and a dashboard on your own server. It sets no cookies on your visitors and keeps the visitor data on your instance. The official container image of the open-source Community Edition, version 3.2.1, is pinned and baked into the AMI together with PostgreSQL 16.15 and ClickHouse 24.12.6.70, so first start does not depend on a registry.
Built on the open-source Plausible Community Edition (AGPL-3.0). Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Plausible Insights OU; Plausible is a trademark of its owner. Perimattic is an independent publisher.
What Perimattic adds
Secure by default: the application lets the first visitor register the first account, so anyone reaching a fresh server could take it over. At first login this AMI generates a random 24-character owner password, database passwords and the application's secret keys on your server, creates the owner account with the application's own user schema, and checks that the password works, that a wrong password and a made-up account are refused, that registration is closed (even for invitations) and that ClickHouse demands a password, before the site is published. There are no default or shared credentials in the image.
HTTPS: Apache is the reverse proxy, with a free Let's Encrypt certificate requested for your domain by certbot. PostgreSQL and ClickHouse are reachable only inside the Docker network.
What is public on purpose
The tracking script (/js/script.js) and the event endpoint (/api/event) must be reachable by your visitors' browsers, so they are public. The dashboard, settings and statistics API need the login or an API key.
Limits you should know
No mail server is included: invitations, password-reset and report emails need SMTP settings that you add. Registration is closed; to let colleagues join by invitation, change one setting as described in the setup notes. ClickHouse is the memory-hungry part: the whole stack used about 0.7 GB when new and ClickHouse grew past 0.5 GB after a restart; a t3.medium (4 GB) is the recommended starting size, and busy sites need more.
Licences
The application is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3 or later (AGPL-3.0); this AMI runs the unmodified upstream image, and its source code is at github.com/plausible/community-edition and github.com/plausible/analytics (tag v3.2.1). The tracking script is MIT licensed. PostgreSQL is under the PostgreSQL licence and ClickHouse is under the Apache License 2.0. ClickHouse 24.12 is the version the Community Edition's own compose file pins.
Getting Started Launch the AMI and open ports 22, 80 and 443 in the security group SSH in and answer the setup prompts (domain and admin email) Copy the owner password printed at the end of setup Sign in at https://your-domain , add a site and paste the snippet into your website
A domain name with an A record pointing at the instance is required, because the dashboard is served over HTTPS.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type that runs your managed privacy-first web analytics deployment. Each dimension maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance size across families like compute-optimized (c), memory-optimized (r, x), general-purpose (m, t), storage-optimized (d, i), accelerated (g, p, inf, trn), and high-memory (u). Pricing scales with the instance you pick: larger sizes with more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware cost more per hour. You choose one instance type sized to your workload and are billed hourly for the hours it runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly software charge applies only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the per-hour software fee. Underlying AWS storage and other resource fees may still apply from AWS separately, but the managed analytics software meters running hours only.
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. On that dedicated instance the vendor handles provisioning, TLS certificates, daily backups, version upgrades, security patching, and monitoring, so your team runs the analytics without managing the operations.
You run one instance type at a time and pay its hourly rate. Moving to a larger size changes your rate to that instance's hourly price going forward. You are billed only for the hours each instance type actually runs, so the change takes effect when you switch.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes

- Base: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully patched at build time, built by an automated EC2 Image Builder pipeline.
- TLS: Apache reverse proxy with a Let's Encrypt certificate requested by certbot at first login.
- Credentials are generated on the instance at first login; none are present in the image.
- A random owner password is generated at first login and the owner account is created before the site is published; registration is closed, and setup verifies that a wrong password, a made-up account and registration are refused and that ClickHouse needs a password.
- Application: open-source Community Edition 3.2.1 (AGPL-3.0, unmodified upstream image) with PostgreSQL 16.15 and ClickHouse 24.12.6.70 (all pinned).
- PostgreSQL and ClickHouse are reachable only inside the Docker network; the tracking script and event endpoint are public by design.
Additional details
Usage instructions
-
Launch an Instance
From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe and then Continue to Configuration to launch the AMI.
-
Choose the Recommended Instance Type
t3.medium (4 GB of memory) is the recommended starting size: the application, PostgreSQL and ClickHouse used about 0.7 GB when new, and ClickHouse grew past 0.5 GB after a restart. ClickHouse needs more memory as your traffic grows, so size up for busy sites.
-
Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:
- 22 (SSH) - terminal access for setup
- 80 (HTTP) - needed to validate your domain for the TLS certificate
- 443 (HTTPS) - access to Privacy-First Web Analytics
-
Point a domain at the instance
Create a DNS A record (for example stats.example.com) pointing to the instance's public IP before you log in.
-
Connect to the Instance
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
-
First-Login Setup
The first SSH login runs a guided setup:
- Prompts for your domain and admin email and checks the DNS A record
- Generates a random 24-character owner password, database passwords and the application's secret keys on your server
- Starts the application, PostgreSQL and ClickHouse and creates the owner account before anything is published
- Checks that the password works, that a wrong password, a made-up account and registration are refused, and that ClickHouse demands a password
- Configures Apache as an HTTPS reverse proxy and requests a Let's Encrypt certificate
- Prints the URL and the owner credentials; they are also stored in /opt/app/access.txt (root only)
If a step fails, fix the problem shown and log in again: the setup resumes where it stopped.
-
Access Privacy-First Web Analytics
Open https://<your-domain> and sign in with your admin email and the generated password (view it again with: sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt). Add a site and paste the tracking snippet into your website's head. The tracking script and event endpoint are public on purpose; registration is closed.
-
Credentials
Generated on your server, never shared between customers. View them again with:
sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt
-
Manage the Services
cd /opt/app sudo docker compose ps sudo docker compose restart
Visitor events are in ClickHouse (/opt/app/event-data) and accounts in PostgreSQL (/opt/app/postgres): back up all of /opt/app or snapshot the volume before upgrades. Emails (invitations, password reset, reports) need SMTP settings added to /opt/app/docker-compose.yml. To let colleagues join by invitation, set DISABLE_REGISTRATION=invite_only there and run docker compose up -d.
