# Plausible (/templates/plausible)



[Plausible](https://plausible.io) is privacy friendly web analytics. No cookies, a small script, and one dashboard that fits on a screen. This template runs the Community Edition.

Deploy it from the [template list](/templates#deploy-a-template). It takes a minute or two.

## What gets deployed [#what-gets-deployed]

<TemplateServices name="Plausible" />

Accounts and sites live in the PostgreSQL service, and the visit data lives in the ClickHouse service. The template creates no other volume.

## What you fill in [#what-you-fill-in]

<TemplateInputs name="Plausible" />

## After it deploys [#after-it-deploys]

Open your domain and register. After that, add your site and put the tracking script Plausible shows you on your pages.

## Good to know [#good-to-know]

* **Lock registration**: by default anyone who finds the domain can register. Once your account exists, set `DISABLE_REGISTRATION` to `true` on the Plausible service and redeploy.
* **Email**: reports and password resets need a mail server. The [Community Edition docs](https://github.com/plausible/community-edition/wiki/configuration#email) list the variables.
* **ClickHouse grows with traffic**: watch the [volume usage](/services/volumes) of the ClickHouse service on busy sites.
