Show HN: Vince – A self hosted alternative to Google Analytics

#1

Post by gernest »

For the past 3 years I have been working on a Golang port of plausible analytics dashboard.

vince is a single binary, single user with multiple website system with zero runtime dependency.

Key featues:

- Automatic TLS - Outbounds link tracking - File downloads tracking - 404 pages tracking - Custom event tracking

And so much more, basically everything that you see on plausible dashboard except funnels and custom properties.

You can use vince as a drop in replacement for plausible for personal websites.

The goal is to make the plausible dashboard easily accessible for people who like to self host.

All features not related to the dashboard are non goal, hence not implemented.

Full dashboard demo hosted on 6$ vultr instance https://demo.vinceanalytics.com/share/vinceanalytics.com/v1/...

If you haven’t checked it out yet, Serverless Website Analytics, is a great solution for this too. It’s easy to deploy and very inexpensive to run. I’ve been using it and am quite happy with it. https://github.com/rehanvdm/serverless-website-analytics

Interesting, I just checked the readme. Very similar but looks like it only works with AWS and has a lot of moving pieces.

How do you deal with location data, do you purchase maxmind db license or use their free versions.

Both maxmind and db-ip free versions of city data miss city geo id values, rendering city data useless for many cases.

With vince, I had to index embed the whole city data from geonames database to work around this.

Great project keep it up it's good to see competition in this space.

Plausible gets crazy expensive on their hosted option and it complex to setup (needs elixir + high memory requirements)

If Vince gets 1:1 parity with plausible and has the option to use clickhouse, I'll consider moving a few servers and people I know over.

Love that Vince is also a single binary as well.
