Open Web Analytics VS selfhosted-gateway

Analytics services can also be self-hosted. While this is a more expensive solution from a management perspective, it is the solution that affords the greatest flexibility for implementing and enforcing privacy protections. There are many offerings in this space, including established projects like Matomo (formerly Piwik) and Open Web Analytics.

It depends on what metrics exactly the analytics want to aim. Maybe it's indeed better to dev something just for this use case. But as he said, “track it ourselves” I'll avoid Google solution and use something like Open Web Analytics (In general case, I don't use Google Analytics any more).

What it is: Open Web Analytics is an open-source web analytics platform that lets you analyze and track your site and app visitors. It offers flexibility to monitor your analytics with a simple and easy-to-use dashboard.

I was looking at Open Web Analytics the other day - seems it can be easily hosted on any hosting plan.

I thought the old self-hosted version was available on github. See how http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ does it.

Nice, check out the selfhosted-gateway if you're looking for something similar without any custom implementation https://github.com/fractalnetworksco/selfhosted-gateway

I've recently come across the selfhosted-gateway GitHub repository (link: selfhosted-gateway) and I'm considering implementing it via a VPS for my home server setup, where I run various services in Docker containers.

I have been using https://github.com/fractalnetworksco/selfhosted-gateway/ to create the wireguard tunnel and using the integrated Nginx set up to provide routeing.

I set up this self hosted gateway on an oracle vps, in hopes of accesing my immich backup anywhere in the world with ssl. i've been forwarding the immich-proxy server over port 8080, and then opening up that port on the oracle vps. nothings working. any help?

i've been trying to use this gateway to set it up, and i've never gotten it to work yet. i don't have a domain name yet but it should still work with my ip address for just accessing it. i'm forwarding the service immich-proxy:8080 like that, and still i've never been able to access it.

If you want a Cloudflare Tunnel alternative, the Self-Hosted Gateway is what I'm using to expose Jellyfin without opening ports 80 and 443 on my network. Still figuring out how to add additional services to the gateway.

Second I tried https://github.com/fractalnetworksco/selfhosted-gateway. A good project, and was able to set everything up and got it running. But there's a fatal flaw - on restarts of containers or system the reconnection is not automatic and you have to redo the setup manually (setup is per container based), so this wasn't a viable option either.
