AWStats VS Kindmetrics

Based on your requirements it sounds like AWStats [1] may be a fit. It's rather old-school but it's simple and works great on access logs and can be run on any node that you consolidate your logs to. It's had a sketchy security history so run it on something only you can access and/or put decent authentication in front of it.

Back in my day it was awstats. Still works great. I have 18 years of data.

matomo and goatcounter are nice, but there are even solutions which don't need any extra CPU or any extra client request:

• https://goaccess.io/

• https://www.awstats.org/

Both of them are free/open-source.

I have decided to do something with my Apache server's log file beautifiers and analytics. When I moved from Fedora to Windows I added Google Analytics and more or less forgot about the older Analog, AWStats, and Webalizer that I was using.

AWStats does something similar: https://www.awstats.org/

You get a full picture of traffic without relying on inserting JS into the page

AWStats or Webaliser are two really good ones for parsing Apache logs, but I've always loved Matomo for projects where I need more than just webserver logs.

Analytics? Web server logs + AWstats

Your httpd will likely have an access log (e.g. apache, nginx). If enabled you can do something as simple as say grep /page/you/are/interested/in /var/log/$httpd/access_log | wc -l etc or look at tools such as https://www.awstats.org/

Kindmetrics (Docker image) > Google Analytics (it's using Crystal so it's probably more resource friendly than many alternatives — furthermore you don't need a cookie warning since it's working without abusing cookies)
