@billy Since is written in Rust and is optimized, it only uses 4MB of RAM (11MiB with shared memory) and almost no CPU time.

About 6MB is used by the dedicated PostgreSQL database. But you can of course share the database if you want to save resources.

You can see the stats that Podman reports about the containers.

In comparison, one backend I wrote in Python with Flask uses about 550MB and keeps the CPU busy…

@billy This is a good idea and definitely something an app developer would like to know about. But this is out of scope for OxiTraffic.

's main goals is being very simple and only tracking visits and their durations. It is easy to trust and the JS script is tiny.

It is also focused on normal websites like blogs instead of apps.

I would recommend taking a look at Motomo or Plausible for event tracking.

Adblockers blocking anonymous telemetry: @mo8it wrote a blog article on the experience of using #OxiTraffic for privacy preserving telemetry and how this still ended up with my site being featured on #EasyList, a default blocklist of #uBlockOrigin

I don't have a good solution here but I am pretty sure there is a problem

This really breaks my heart 😭

github.com/easylist/easylist/i

I spent so much time polishing just for it to be blocked by an AdBlocker 🚫

I developed it in the first place to protect !
I don't collect any personal data or anything that can help identifying a user on the web.
No IP, no cookies, no User-Agent… How is this bad for privacy?

It is fully free and open source, you can just read the commented blocked script.

I hate timezones 😣

They lead to very "interesting" bugs that are very hard to debug.

I am currently fixing a bug that can occur only between 00:00 and 01:00 on my instance.

You know why? Because Germany still likes to change its timezone twice a year.

It would be a dream for every if the whole world would just use UTC.

What database do you prefer as a user of a self-hosted app? :blobthinkingeyes:

I want to support only one for

PostgreSQL is much more flexible and powerful from a developer point of view. It can also scale much better just in case.

But SQLite does not require additional hosting. It is one file that can be automatically created by the app itself.

Comments on your choice are appreciated :ablobcatheart:
