How to install Rybbit on a Cloud VPS

Rybbit is an open-source, privacy-friendly web analytics platform (a Google Analytics alternative) with a modern real-time dashboard.

Self-hosted analytics means you own the data, GDPR compliance is straightforward and there are no event or visitor caps.

One-click install on cloudlinux.ro

The fastest way: Rybbit installs automatically at the first boot of a new server.

1. Create a Cloud VPS from the control panel.
2. In the configuration step, pick Rybbit from the app catalog.
3. Start the server. The install runs in the background for a few minutes and its status shows on the server page.
4. Access details and generated passwords are saved on the server in /root/app-credentials.txt.

Manual install on any Ubuntu server

If you prefer doing it yourself, below is the exact script our automatic install runs. Execute it as root on a fresh Ubuntu server (24.04 recommended). It stops at the first error, and when it finishes you will find the access details in /root/app-credentials.txt.

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
apt-get install -y git
FQDN="$(hostname -s).cloudlinux.ro"
git clone https://github.com/rybbit-io/rybbit.git /opt/rybbit
cd /opt/rybbit
chmod +x *.sh
./setup.sh "$FQDN"
printf 'Rybbit: https://%s/signup\nCreeaza primul cont (devine administrator). Certificatul HTTPS se emite automat in 1-2 minute dupa pornire.\n' "$FQDN" > /root/app-credentials.txt

You can also save this script as a recipe in your account and reuse it on any new server.
