Posthog Deploy

Setup

• Clone the repo
• Create .env file (copied from sample.env) and configure all the variables.
• Hit docker-compose up -d
• DOMAIN must be configured on HTTPS. You can use the below http NGINX config for the same:

server {
    server_name {{DOMAIN-HERE}};

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:{{PORT-HERE}};
    }
    listen 80;
}

It'll take a few minutes & service should be available at https://DOMAIN.COM

Notes

• To scale plugin ingestion server (responsible for storing and processing events) - increase the number of partitions in kafka event-plugin-ingestion kafka topics and scale the number of instances of plugin server.

bin/kafka-topics.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --describe --topic my-topic

kafka-topics.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --alter --topic events_plugin_ingestion --partitions 6

• Increase the gunicorn config according to your server specifications.
