ngx_http_proxy_connect_module VS GoAccess

This docker image has the https://github.com/chobits/ngx_http_proxy_connect_module We also want to have the ability to rate limit, control traffic bursts etc.. Subsequently, I also read this documentation: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/controlling-access-proxied-http/

As in, they’re brokering both TLS connections, like evilginx or https://github.com/chobits/ngx_http_proxy_connect_module

But how about if we want to analyze the access.log file as a single report? I found goaccess can help to the rescue. So here is how I used this tool to generate a report.

Goaccess (https://github.com/allinurl/goaccess) does this in real time and has been very stable for well over a decade.

Not forgotten by any means but goaccess is nice and simple to use

If one wants server-side metrics with a little more info than the author's "hacky little script", there's always goaccess [1], which functions in broadly the same way. I even use it with Firebase Hosting-hosted sites via [2] (which I wrote).

> Just use GoAcces for fuck's sake.

GoAccess seems pretty cool and is probably a good task for the job, when you need something simple, thanks for recommending it: https://goaccess.io/

Even if you have analytics of some sort already in place, I think it'd probably still be a nice idea to run GoAccess on your server, behind some additional auth, so you can check up on how the web servers are performing.

That said, I'd still say that the analytics solutions out there, especially self-hostable ones like Matomo, are quite nice and can have both UIs that are very easy to interact with for the average person (e.g. filtering data by date range, or by page/view that was interacted with), as well as have a plethora of different datasets: https://matomo.org/features/

I think it can be useful to have a look at what sorts of devices are mostly being used to interact with your site, what operating systems and browsers are in use, how people navigate through the site, where do they enter the site from and how they find it, what the front end performance is like, or even how your e-commerce site is doing, at a glance, in addition to seeing how this changes over time.

People have also said good things about Plausible Analytics as well: https://plausible.io/

Maybe, if it's just local and need just information, maybe https://goaccess.io is an option.

I run goaccess on a cron job and have paired it with a MaxMind GeoIP database so that you can see where people are coming from etc.
