Plausible Analytics

Run privacy friendly web analytics on your own Kubernetes cluster with Edka’s one click installation. Plausible is a lightweight, cookie free alternative to traditional analytics tools, and Edka deploys the open source Community Edition wired up to PostgreSQL and ClickHouse so you keep full ownership of your visitor data.

What Edka Provisions

Edka installs the Plausible Community Edition (image v3.2.1) from its own Helm chart and configures everything needed to run it on your cluster:

• Plausible application: Deployed with a Recreate strategy, persistent storage, and Prometheus metrics enabled out of the box.
• PostgreSQL connection: Point Plausible at an existing managed PostgreSQL installation, database, and user already running on your cluster. Credentials are resolved from Kubernetes Secrets, with optional SSL/TLS verification.
• ClickHouse connection: Attach an existing managed ClickHouse installation for high-volume analytics event storage. Host, scheme, port, database, and user are wired up automatically.
• Gateway access: Optionally expose Plausible through an Envoy Gateway traffic class at a public hostname, which is used for BASE_URL and origin checks.

Configuration Options

Plausible is organized into clear configuration tabs so you can tune it to your needs:

• Registration & access: Choose invite-only, disabled, or open registration, and optionally require email verification.
• Authentication: Add Google OAuth credentials and an optional TOTP vault key to encrypt two-factor secrets at rest.
• Email delivery: Pick from SMTP, Postmark, Mailgun, Mandrill, or SendGrid adapters for transactional email.
• Storage & resources: Set persistent volume size, storage class, and CPU/memory requests and limits.
• Placement: Pin Plausible pods to a specific node pool, with automatic tolerations for node pool taints.
• Auto-updates: Opt in to automatic chart and image updates with a patch, minor, major, or custom version policy on your chosen check interval.

A 64-character SECRET_KEY_BASE is generated for you and kept stable for the lifetime of the instance.
