Ackee - Analytics

[echokos]

https://ackee.electerious.com

Self-hosted, Node.js based analytics tool for those who care about privacy. Ackee runs on your own server, analyzes the traffic of your websites and provides useful statistics in a minimal interface.

@echokos would be interested to know why you'd prefer this over https://matomo.org/ which we've already got in the app store

I want to have an analytics app like this!
I use a saas analytics app (almost like Ackee alternative) because I love its simplicity.
All that I want from an analytics app is just a little information (e.g.the device sizes of visitors and the number of visitors)

Matomo is great for enterprises or advanced people.
I'd like to see Ackee on Cloudron and have it on my server!
I imagine that average people like me prefer a simple analytics app with a clean dashboard, beautiful UI and stress-free UX(in other words learning curves).

@echokos @hiyukoim wow, that was quite ridiculously easy to package. I spent more time adding appstore metadata than packaging the app itself!

I have published an unstable version. Can you give it a try and reports any bugs to the Ackee topic - https://forum.cloudron.io/category/125/ackee

@girish V cool!

I'll give it a spin too as Matomo unnecessarily logging out every 10 minutes just bugs me.

@girish Maybe I'm missing something obvious - but where do you change the admin password?

[marcusquinn]

@girish Ahhh, env variables. One to note in the Instructions me things

[marcusquinn]

Also to note, need to uncomment one of the ACKEE_ALLOW_ORIGIN= lines and populate URLs allowed for CORS, then Restart the App.

Can confirm it's all working. Only tracks browsers that don't have "Do Not Track" enabled, so a decreasing amount nowadays, but overall a nice app and seems to work.

@marcusquinn there are some notes here - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/ackee/#adding-a-domain . Also see the note about detailed data collection.

I will put the password change in postinstall message.

@girish Cool - just tried the script adaption and that works well too.

@girish Wow! That was fast. I'll give it a run over the next couple of days. Thank you!
