Self-hosted analytics

This article is still being worked on!

Plausible Analytics is a simple, lightweight (< 1 KB), open source and privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics. It doesn’t use cookies and is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA and PECR. You can self-host or have us run Plausible for you in the cloud. Here's the live demo of our own website stats. Made and hosted in the EU 🇪🇺

This is what Plausible claims to be. I was looking for a solution for analytics. Analytics is one of the most important part of a website but getting this right can be tricky (at least in my experience 😅)

Plausible has a whopping 15K+ stars in GitHub, so I said to myself "This thing has to be good! 💡"

I have small but free VM on Oracle Cloud where I typically self-host my services and pray to god that Oracle doesn’t delete this someday. The goal is to integrate Plausible with a Next.js 13 (App Router) web application.
