What is it?

Ackee is a self-hosted web analytics tool that runs on your own server and analyzes traffic for your websites. It is aimed at users who do not need a full marketing analytics platform such as Google Analytics or Matomo, and instead want focused statistics in a minimal interface.

Tracked data is kept anonymized so individual visitors are not identifiable, and the tool does not set cookies, so no cookie consent banner is required. Beyond page views, it can track events such as button clicks or newsletter subscriptions. The stack is Node.js with MongoDB.

Everything shown in the UI is served by a documented GraphQL API, which lets developers build their own tools on top of the collected data. Setup options include Docker, Docker Compose, Helm, and several platform-as-a-service hosts, with configuration done through environment variables.
