How to Install PostHog on Manjaro

PostHog is an open-source product analytics solution that is used by organizations to understand their users' behavior and make data-driven decisions. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PostHog on your Manjaro operating system.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, there are a few prerequisites that should be met. These include:

Step 1: Install Docker

To install Docker on your Manjaro operating system, open your terminal application and enter the following command:

sudo pacman -S docker docker-compose

This command installs both Docker and Docker Compose.

Step 2: Create a Directory

Create a new directory on your system where PostHog will be installed. You can do this using the following command:

sudo mkdir posthog
cd posthog

Step 3: Download PostHog

To download the PostHog Docker Compose file, use the following command:

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PostHog/posthog/master/docker-compose.yml

Step 4: Run Docker Compose

Next, we need to run the Docker Compose file to install PostHog on your system. Use the following command to do it:

sudo docker-compose up

Step 5: Access PostHog

Once the installation process is complete, you can access PostHog by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000. You will be prompted to set up the initial user and other configurations.

That's it! You have successfully installed PostHog on your Manjaro operating system.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
