Analytics Caddy Microservice

Privacy-friendly analytics microservice using server logs

For small organisations and individuals who wish to respect their visitors' privacy while needing to obtain analytics, there are limited options. The most elegant option (and the most privacy-respecting one) is to provide real-time analytics by ingesting the web server logs. This doesn't involve/require doing anything client-side (no scripting, no invisible pixels, etc): all the information needed can be derived from these log files without resorting to tricks. The form factor of a drop-in microservice allows for easy integration into other tools (which offers a significant improvement in terms of usability), and makes it portable. The end result will provide a neat solution for small actors to make self-hosting of their website 'batteries included'.
