Netlify supports redirects and rewrites which we can use as a reverse proxy from an /ingest
route to https://app.posthog.com
or https://eu.posthog.com
. In your netlify.toml
file, add a redirect like this:
[[redirects]]from = "/ingest/*"to = "https://app.posthog.com/:splat"host = "app.posthog.com"status = 200force = true
Once done, set the /ingest
route of your domain as the API host in your PostHog initialization like this:
posthog.init('<ph_project_api_key>',{api_host: 'https://www.your-domain.com/ingest',})
Once updated, deploy your changes on Netlify and check that PostHog requests are going to https://www.your-domain.com/ingest
by checking the network tab on your domain.
