The underlying reason for the move is that the self-hosted product from Posthog has more features than the equivalent from Plausible.

Debugging OBuilder on macOS

The log from an OBuilder job starts with the steps needed to reproduce the job locally. This boilerplate output assumes that all OBuilder jobs start from a Docker base image, but on some operating systems, such as FreeBSD and macOS, OBuilder uses ZFS base images.
