"Add the following line to you page source to send data to Vince"
How this compares to umami ( https://umami.is/ )?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
What I understand they’re doing is storing the salt in one place, a set of hashed IP addresses in another place, then daily trashing the lot after counting the number of elements in the set and storing that. Information-theory-wise, this is no different to just storing the actual IP addresses (and deleting them daily after tallying, as before). It does mean that you need to obtain two things instead of just one, but…
If you throw away the daily random salt (but keep the obscured IP address), how can you check a single value for a match the next day?
I deployed this on our cloud (excloud.in) in less than 2 mins.
Anyone you can use the below k8s manifest to deploy it to their k8s cluster. Just change the admin password before doing so.

My go-to self hosted GA alternative is goatcounter https://www.goatcounter.com . It would be interesting to know what advantages it has over it.
Does it allow filtering visited page list by a specific referrer and vice verse?
Shynet is similarly self hostable, and has a tiny footprint..
This is great. For me the commercial Plausible is just not plausible. I have a site with 2M page views, with most of the pages cached, which keeps the server costs minimal, I pay around 50 USD per month. I don't get much revenue from the site. I want to show visit counts on the site. For 2M page views, Plausible (with the stats API) would cost 189 USD per month, quadrupling my costs.
For reference, the demo is hosted on a 6$ vultr instance, the last 3 days it handled about 11.9K pageviws with 4.3K unique visitors.
I have just checked the vultr dashboard.
Bandwidth = 3.37 GB ,vCPU usage = 1% (yep one percent) , Current charges = 1.06$.
Majority of the bandwidth is for outgoing data serving the dashboard.
I carefully designed vince to be extremely efficient for web analytics workloads.
Please give vince a try.
Nice Work! Very easy to install and use. I deployed this on our cloud (excloud.in) in less than 2 mins. Anyone you can use the below k8s manifest to deploy it to their k8s cluster. Just change the admin password before doing so. https://gist.github.com/lomkju/90fe7500d8cf854bf3b7c2f26aa58...
Does it always pull the latest vince image?
Just FYI, we also have simple helm charts, and the repository is hosted on https://vinceanalytics.com/charts

There are many web analytics providers with surprisingly high prices.
We are cheaper and even planning on creating free tier by making smart use of resources and avoiding overpriced cloud providers.
