So far so good. Created a new #Debian server a few days ago. Got the basic config done. So far I've moved my #11ty blog and #Forgejo instance over. I still need to move #Nextcloud, #Miniflux, and #GoatCounter before I can blow away the old #Ubuntu server.
I was considering going with a #FreeBSD server but I need to spend more time with FreeBSD before I'm comfortable with it.
Thought about #Arch too, but decided to keep it simple without overwriting the deployed OS.
Integrated #GoatCounter with my website at https://far.chickenkiller.com. When loading the script from some other origin, my adblocker blocks it. Now I'm embedding the entire script into page to see what will happen.

Edit: Just realized @nlnet has funded the project GoatCounter!
I added #GoatCounter to my #astro powered website following their documentation, but now I'm getting this console error:
Content-Security-Policy: The page’s settings blocked a script (script-src-elem) at https://stevefrenzel.dev/_astro/hoisted.GszST510.js from being executed because it violates the following directive: “script-src https://gc.zgo.at”
Tracking is working though but I'm no pro when it comes to this, so any help appreciated! 
new blog post: "GoatCounter, Rogue Scholar and more new things" https://chem-bla-ics.linkedchemistry.info/2024/07/21/rogue-scholar-and-more.html
"About a year ago I started migrating my blogger.com blog to a git-version-controlled, Markdown-based blogging platform. I have to say, it has been a happy year. It actually is awesome to port old blog posts (follow that here) and to see what I have been working on some 17, 18 years ago. [...]"
Cool. Got #GoatCounter installed and operational. Now I should be able to dump Google Analytics for Elles business site. And I think I'll use it for my blog site too. Mostly just curious to see if it actually gets hit by many bots or not. Still haven't gotten the nginx user agent blocks to work correctly yet.
Alternative a Google Analytics
Anche chi possiede un sito web può fare la sua parte togliendo potere a Google: andiamo alla scoperta di alternative a Google Analytics!

Fellow #IndieWeb community and anyone that just basically wants an old fashioned page hit counter on their site without relying on #GA4.
Trying out #GoatCounter this evening and it does what I want. It’s #GDPR compliant, too. Nothing fancy, but I don’t need anything fancy. It’s free to use, if you don’t go too crazy with it. And you can alway self host.
We are slowly getting there. #OpenSource made (mostly) in EU, privacy respecting, GDPR compliant. #goatcounter #crowdsec #nextcloud #mastodon and more. Cc @EU_Commission
I'm looking for a simple #analytics system to implement in my personal websites.
I aim for something:
- Non privacy invasive
- Open Source
- Easy to implement
- Free (as in gratis) or rather unexpensive
ATM my best candidate is #goatCounter (https://www.goatcounter.com/). Any experiences with it?
Any other recommendations?
#Servicetoot Um zu sehen ob es sich lohnt, die Website https://coronamuc.de weiter zu betreiben haben wir mit #Goatcounter eine Analytics Lösung aktiviert. Sie erfasst KEINE personenbezogenen Daten und ist nach DSGVO Kriterien entwickelt.
Der »neue« Schockwellenreiter und sein Neugiertool
Ich konnte ja mein bisheriges Neugiertool trotz aller Versuche nicht zur Mitarbeit mit dem »neuen« Schockwellenreiter überreden und hatte mich daher schon fast damit abgefunden, in Zukunft nicht mehr zum Monatsbeginn mit ein paar Zahlen angeben zu können. Doch heute machte mich ein Leser in meinen Kommentaren auf den GoatCounter aufmerksam und der könnte eine Lösung für dieses Problem sein. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2022/12/2022120702.html #GoatCounter #WebAnalytics
@aral Please find me a technology big tech is involved with that we are not funding actual alternatives to. Any form of proprietary lock-in is something we target to remove, anything that invades privacy needs to be stopped/mitigated (think #NoScript, #JShelter, #Offen.dev, #Goatcounter, #TrackingTheTrackers, #Searx, #Qubes, #SpectrumOS, etc). That is our contribution. Obviously, the trillion dollar surveillance economy needs to be curbed by harsh regulation, but this is not within our remit...
@aaravchen hmm...so the main heavily used service is Mattermost, which is used mainly for texting (not much media).
Then there's also a currently low-traffic (5-10 visitors/day) #Ghost website with lots of images and #GoatCounter to track the stats.
Now that you mention it, a disk I/O issue is likely: I've had a few of those in the past, sometimes so bad tthey caused MySQL to crash.
FYI: I settled on a self-hosted www.goatcounter.com, but without any JavaScript. Instead I feed my nginx access_log into it.
The access_log is then deleted immediately, and #goatcounter hashes IPs and throws the salt away every 8 hours.
Any free (or *very* cheap) #analytics service with unlimited data retention, data export, multiple site support, and easy WordPress integration?
My usage is usually *quite* minimal.
#GoatCounter almost fit the criteria, but it doesn't have an easy WP integration.
Added #GoatCounter to a small website I created, and have been pretty happy with it so far.
@michal my (formerly online; now also in print) magazine run a membership programme, and as an extra perk they get wallabag hosting. We're planning to add other "services" as well, which is why we went for #YunoHost.
Of course, we'll also be using it to host our #GhostCMS blog, #goatcounter, email and the magazine's #Flarum community forum 
Apologies if this is already a thing or has been attempted...
#Plausible, #GoatCounter, #Fathom etc. should all get together and standardize the format in which data is *stored.*
