Sounds good. A simple starting point would be a flow to add the first admin account through the web UI so you don't have to add admin credentials to the config file.

I went through installing Sentry just recently and I have to say the install script is very nice. Something to take inspiration from when building our own bootstrap script:

plausible analytics is not a php app. You cannot install it as such.

We could still provide a script that makes the installation process easier. Doesn't have to be php

My thoughts exactly. The PHP process is more of a reference.
I might work out something soon with bash script in my free time.

There's a docker-compose.yml file in this repo. Grab a vps with docker installed, git clone this repository and run docker-compose up -d. That's 2 commands to get a working installation. It doesn't get much simpler than that in my opinion.

I do not recommend self-hosting important/production services if you don't know what you're doing.

This project works with NodeJS, ClickhouseDB and PostgreSQL. It's simply not the same technology stack as your regular cPanel webhost. It's incompatible. You could probably upload the docker-compose.yml to something like heroku or AWS app runner, just like you would a setup.php to cPanel. I have zero experience with these services so I cannot help you.

i would perfer some bash script because not all host support docker spicially Paas Services like Jelastic ... you don't need to support all the platforms it's enough to support Debian and maybe RHEL it's simpally what the docker file does ... to be honest i tried myself but it seemes i don't have enough experiance but i am sure the developers could do itwithout much trouble
