The quickest way to start using PoeticMetric is, signing up on the managed service that I offer on www.poeticmetric.com. It is fully operated by me, you can simply create your account and start tracking your website's performance right away!

PoeticMetric is 100% open source. This means, you can run your own instance of PoeticMetric on your own servers. In order to simplify self-hosting process, I also built required docker images, and prepared a sample configuration.

I am planning to write a self-hosted installation guide in the future. But for now, you can check out the docker-compose.yaml file in the self-hosted directory. You can also find an example .env file there.
