ackee v0.1.0

Analytics

Ackee — a self-hosted, privacy-friendly analytics tool that tracks website visits without collecting personal data, with a clean dashboard and GraphQL API. Deployed as an all-in-one host-networked Nomad job (MongoDB + app).

nomad-pack run ackee --registry nomploy

…or one line (add registry + run)

curl -fsSL https://packs.nomploy.com/install.sh | sh -s -- ackee

Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

Back up this pack

This pack stores data in one Docker named volume: ackee_mongo_data

⚠ This pack bundles a database. A cold copy of the volume can be inconsistent — for a reliable backup, dump the DB (pg_dump / mysqldump) or stop the job while backing up.

restic

# Run on the node hosting this pack. Point restic at your repo first:
#   export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/<bucket>"
#   export RESTIC_PASSWORD="<repo-password>"
#   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key>  AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret>
restic backup \
  /var/lib/docker/volumes/ackee_mongo_data/_data

rclone (sync to S3/R2)

rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/ackee_mongo_data/_data backup:<bucket>/ackee_mongo_data

Paths assume the default Docker volume location (/var/lib/docker/volumes). Restore by stopping the job, restoring files into the same volume, and re-running the pack.

Readme

ackee

Ackee is a self-hosted, privacy-friendly analytics tool for tracking website visitors. It's cookie-free and collects no personal data (GDPR-friendly by design), while still giving you a clean dashboard of views, referrers, devices, browsers and durations — plus a GraphQL API for custom reporting.

This pack deploys Ackee all-in-one as a single host-networked Nomad job: MongoDB (bundled as a prestart sidecar) plus the Ackee app.

Deploy

nomad-pack run ackee --registry=nomploy \
  --var admin_password=$(openssl rand -hex 12)

Open http://<node-ip>:3000, log in, add your domain, and embed the tracking snippet on your site.
