  • GoAccess

    GoAccess is a real-time web log analyzer and interactive viewer that runs in a terminal in *nix systems or through your browser.

    A few days ago came across the MIT-licensed GoAccess. It generates both terminal and HTML based reports that should address your needs. You run the tool from the command line, so doesn’t solve the website-to-upload-a-file requirement, but that could be a fun little project (if someone hasn’t already done that).

  • Home Manager using Nix

    Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]

    Have you tried Nix[1]? The learning curve was a bit steep for me, but I think I finally started "getting" it and it absolutely solves this problem for me. Now I'm at the point where if I install Nix on any computer, VM, whatever, I can just pull in my configs via home manager[2] and everything Just Works. It's seriously one of the best package managers I've ever used, and I can't imagine going back to anything else. Windows support is only via WSL, so this might be a non-starter for you.
