The first start sets up Plausible’s databases, which can take a minute or two. Then create your account. After that, new accounts need an invite.
How do I install Plausible?
Pick one of your servers, choose Plausible from the one-click catalog and give it a domain. Nuvlo starts the containers with generated passwords, points the domain and issues the certificate.
What size server does Plausible need?
Standard. Fine on a small server; give it some headroom if the server is busy.
What happens after install?
The first start sets up Plausible’s databases, which can take a minute or two. Then create your account. After that, new accounts need an invite.
Is Plausible backed up?
Yes. Apps are sites like any other, so they use the same backup schedules and your own storage bucket.
Who updates Plausible?
You do. Plausible keeps the version it was installed with; to move to a newer release, pull the new image on the server over SSH. The dashboard has no update button for apps.
Does Nuvlo charge per app?
No. You pay your Nuvlo plan and your cloud provider for the server, and Plausible itself is free to self-host.
