Vince is a self hosted alternative to Google Analytics.

Features

• Automatic TLS native support for Let's Encrypt.
• Drop in replacement for Plausible Analytics you can use existing Plausible scripts and just point them to the vince instance (note that vince is lean and only covers features for a single entity self hosting, so it is not our goal to be feature parity with Plausible).
• Outbound links tracking
• File download tracking
• 404 page tracking
• Custom event tracking
• Time period comparison
• Public dashboards allow access to the dashboard to anyone (by default all dashboards are private).
• Unique shared access generate unique links to dashboards that can be password protected.
• Zero Dependency: Ships a single binary with everything in it. No runtime dependency.
• Easy to operate: One line command line flags with env variables is all you need.
• Unlimited sites: There is no limit on how many sites you can manage.
• Unlimited events: scale according to available resources.
• Privacy friendly: No cookies and fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA and PECR.
