If you need a cluster, https://github.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator makes things easy
Altinity is doing a good job of this with Clickhouse. They offer some decent open source guides for self hosting[0] and offer a hosted option. The hosted option is as self serve as I'd like (you have to get "approved").
