Suggested change
REACT_APP_ENABLE_POSTHOG=false
REACT_APP_ENABLE_POSTHOG=true

@athul-rs the current change would imply that OSS users who are trying the platform will not be tracked in Posthog. Is that fine / expected? We should leave this env as true if we wish to continue to track the OSS user's behaviour

@chandrasekharan-zipstack I think your analysis might be incorrect. Since OSS users use it through containers and we are adding it as true during build time https://github.com/Zipstack/unstract/pull/1615/files#diff-7273696816af1540ab5f0d5b11c273aa396c0615b1eb25af83199637750baeb1R26 it should work as expcected
