Backing up and restoring a self-hosted Plausible instance

2021-08-14 // 3 min read // #docker

I’ve been using Plausible Analytics on this website for a few months now and I’m a fan for three key reasons.

They’re open source
They explicitly detail how they track web traffic in a privacy-preserving manner
Customers can self-host their own Plausible instances

Being able to self-host Plausible gives me ownership of the data it collects, but it also makes me responsible for storing this data and backing it up. I manage backups for my instance with several Ansible playbooks, but the same can be done with plain shell commands.

Poco a Poco Diminuendo, Mellophone

An opportunity to write about the cool components of a hobby project

Just shy of two years ago (judging by the initial commit on a private repo), I started a little project called Mellophone.

It was a pet project to consolidate what I’d learned from working as a developer.

The domain registration for mellophone.pink expires tomorrow, and I won’t be renewing it.

As a little farewell, I figured this would be a good opportunity to delve into some of the workings behind it.
