How are you self hosting it? I find its requirements extremely heavy for a simple analytics solution. It requires a PostgreSQL and Clickhouse database. I don't find self hosting Clickhouse particularly easy. Wish they had an option to just use SQLite as an alternative.
I completely agree that the self-hosting story for Plausible is overkill for most websites.
So much so that I made my own that focuses on self-hostability using SQLite and DuckDB (no external dependencies, can run on a 256MB VM): https://github.com/medama-io/medama
