UN-2236 [FEAT] Add build-time PostHog control for on-prem deployments (#1615)

athul-rs · claude · web-flow · commit ca78643ff8d2 · 2025-10-28T18:29:33.000+05:30
Added build argument to control PostHog analytics at build time, enabling cloud deployments while disabling for on-prem installations. Changes: - Added REACT_APP_ENABLE_POSTHOG build argument to frontend Dockerfile - Defaults to true to maintain cloud behavior - Updated sample.env with PostHog configuration documentation - Default set to false for local development (privacy-first) This provides clean separation between cloud (analytics enabled) and on-prem (analytics disabled) builds without runtime complexity. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
