README

vince

Vince is a privacy friendly web analytics server focused on painless self hosting.

Features

• Automatic TLS native support for let's encrypt.
• Drop in replacement for plausible 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).
• Outbounds links tracking
• File download tracking
• 404 page tracking
• Custom event tracking
• Time period comparison
• Public dashboards allow access to the dashoard to anyone(by default all dashboards are private).
• Unique shared access generate unique links to dahboards that can be password protected.
• Extremely fast we use bit sliced index of roaring bitmaps.We base our implementation on serialized roaring bitmaps, there is no decoding while reading, data is loaded directly.
• Zero Dependency: Ships a single binary with everything in it. No runtime dependency.
• High events ingestion rate : We buffer and use LSM based underlying key value store that is optimized for writes.
• Easy to operate: One line commandline 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 availbale resources.
• Privacy friendly: No cookies and fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA and PECR.
