In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing PostHog on Clear Linux Latest. PostHog is an open-source product analytics platform that helps you understand how users interact with your website or application.
Before we get started with the installation, here are the prerequisites for installing PostHog:
The first step is to update the packages on the system using the command:
sudo swupd update
This will update all the packages on the system to the latest version.
PostHog requires Docker and Docker Compose to run. You can install them as follows:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
sudo reboot
sudo dnf install docker-compose
The above commands will start Docker, enable it at startup, add your user to the Docker group, reboot the system, and install Docker Compose.
Git is required for cloning the PostHog repository. You can install it using the command:
sudo dnf install git
Now that all the prerequisites are met, we can proceed to clone the PostHog repository using the command:
git clone https://github.com/posthog/posthog.git
PostHog comes with a default configuration file located at posthog/config/config.yml. You can modify this file to suit your needs. You will need to change the deployment_hostname section to your domain name or IP address if you want to access PostHog from a remote location.
./bin/config -t 'GENERATED_SECRET_KEY' -s 'postgresql://postgres:[YOUR_DB_PASSWORD]@db:5432/posthog' -d 'yourdomain.com'
Now that the configuration is complete, we can start PostHog using Docker Compose. Navigate to the posthog directory and run the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This will start PostHog in the background.
You can access PostHog by navigating to your server's IP address or your domain name in a web browser.
