What is it?

Swetrix is an open source, cookieless alternative to Google Analytics that aims to track traffic, site speed, user sessions and pageflows without collecting personal data. Its tracking script is under 5 KB. This repository provides the Docker Compose files and a configure.sh script that generate the environment file needed to run a self-hosted Swetrix Community Edition instance.

Setup involves cloning the repository, running configure.sh to set values such as BASE_URL, and starting the services with docker compose up -d. The web portal is then served at the configured URL.

The Community Edition also supports session replay: recording, playback and MP4 exports, stored in a private S3-compatible bucket such as AWS S3, MinIO, Cloudflare R2 or Hetzner. Replay retention, export concurrency and export file lifetime are configurable through environment variables.

Key features

  • 01Generates the .env file through an interactive configure.sh script.
  • 02Starts the full Swetrix stack with a single docker compose command.
  • 03Tracks traffic, site speed, sessions and pageflows without cookies.
  • 04Supports session replay storage in S3-compatible buckets.
  • 05Configurable replay retention of 30 days up to 5 years.

Use cases

  • Running a privacy-friendly analytics service on your own server instead of Google Analytics.
  • Keeping visitor data under your control for sites subject to strict data-protection rules.
  • Reviewing user sessions and replays to understand how visitors use a website.
