Out of principle I refuse to put any type of analytics on my sites. I don’t want to send user data to third parties and I don’t want to rely on data that comes from JavaScript on the browser unless strictly necessary.
But the thought recently occurred to me that I could use my server logs to create some basic data visualisation on Grafana.
I’d like very basic stuff:
- hits
- common referrers
- geo location by IP address
- bounce rates per page
What would be the recommended way to get this, assuming that I have traefik logs aggregates via Loki and Grafana installed?
umami.is & plausible.io
Both of them require use of client-side Javascript, which is blocked by most privacy extensions and browsers like Brave.
