## Analytics
|
||||
|
||||
The official SnapOtter Docker image includes anonymous usage analytics (PostHog) and crash reporting (Sentry) to help improve the software. No IP addresses, personal identifiers, or file contents are collected.
|
||||
SnapOtter uses anonymous analytics to improve reliability and prioritize features. No file contents, file names, personal information, or IP addresses are ever sent.
|
||||
|
||||
To disable analytics, build from source with the analytics flag off:
|
||||
### What is recorded
|
||||
|
||||
- Tool usage patterns (e.g. which tools are used most, success/failure rates)
|
||||
- Error reports and performance metrics (stack traces with file paths redacted)
|
||||
- App version and browser type
|
||||
|
||||
Analytics is powered by [PostHog](https://posthog.com) (usage) and [Sentry](https://sentry.io) (errors).
|
||||
|
||||
### Disabling analytics
|
||||
|
||||
You can disable analytics at any time by cloning the repository and rebuilding:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker compose build --build-arg SNAPOTTER_ANALYTICS=off
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/snapotter-hq/SnapOtter.git
|
||||
cd SnapOtter
|
||||
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml build --build-arg SNAPOTTER_ANALYTICS=off
|
||||
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or add the build arg to your existing `docker-compose.yml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
services:
|
||||
snapotter:
|
||||
build:
|
||||
context: .
|
||||
dockerfile: docker/Dockerfile
|
||||
args:

||||
SNAPOTTER_ANALYTICS: "off"
