Rybbit deployment questions

What does the Rybbit template deploy?

It deploys the Rybbit client and backend with PostgreSQL and ClickHouse so teams can run a self-hosted web analytics workspace.

Which port did the tutorial use?

The tutorial used host port 4064, which maps to the Rybbit web service on container port 3002.

Why does the guide stop at the login or setup web UI?

The tutorial verifies the clean Rybbit web UI because site setup, tracking snippets, dashboards, and signup settings depend on the production instance.

Should this become a blog post?

No. The deployment guide should live on the Rybbit template detail page and be linked from the reusable template deployment docs page.

After Deployment

After deploying Rybbit with Server Compass, complete these steps to finish setup

Visit the client URL
