HitKeep: self-host privacy-friendly web analytics

Описание и применение

HitKeep – это самодостаточный, cookieless‑аналитический сервис, работающий в Docker‑контейнере за Traefik, сохраняющий данные в DuckDB и не передающий их третьим лицам.

Задача

Collect website analytics without sending visitor data to third parties, avoiding cookie banners and legal complexity.

Результат

HitKeep provides a self‑hosted, cookieless analytics dashboard with page views, referrers, devices, and time on page, all stored locally and accessible via a simple script tag.

Рабочий процесс

• Generate a 32‑byte JWT secret with openssl rand -hex 32
• Create /opt/hitkeep directory and a compose.yaml with HitKeep image and environment variables
• Configure HITKEEP_PUBLIC_URL, HITKEEP_JWT_SECRET, HITKEEP_TRUSTED_PROXIES, and path variables
• Run docker compose up -d and wait for Traefik to obtain a Let’s Encrypt certificate
• Verify the tracking script is served at /hk.js
• Create an admin account via the web UI
• Add a site in HitKeep and copy the provided script tag
• Embed the script tag into the target website pages

Доказательства

HitKeep turns that around: cookieless statistics on your server, under your domain, without a single byte ever going to third parties.
