**Vince** is a self hosted alternative to Google Analytics. # Features - **Automatic TLS** native support for Let's Encrypt. - **Drop in replacement for Plausible Analytics** you can use existing Plausible scripts and just point them to the vince instance (note that vince is lean and only covers features for a single entity self hosting, so it is not our goal to be feature parity with Plausible). - **Outbound links tracking** - **File download tracking** - **404 page tracking** - **Custom event tracking** - **Time period comparison** - **Public dashboards** allow access to the dashboard to anyone (by default all dashboards are private). - **Unique shared access** generate unique links to dashboards that can be password protected. - **Zero Dependency**: Ships a single binary with everything in it. No runtime dependency. - **Easy to operate**: One line command line flags with env variables is all you need. - **Unlimited sites**: There is no limit on how many sites you can manage. - **Unlimited events**: scale according to available resources. - **Privacy friendly**: No cookies and fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA and PECR. # Installation Vince ships a single executable without any dependencies. ## Installing ### MacOS and Linux ``` curl -fsSL https://vinceanalytics.com/install.sh | bash ``` ### Docker ``` docker pull ghcr.io/vinceanalytics/vince ``` ### Helm ``` ❯ helm repo add vince http://vinceanalytics.com/charts ❯ helm install vince vince/vince ``` ### Download [see release page](https://github.com/vinceanalytics/vince/releases) ## Checking installation ``` vince --version ``` ## Start vince ***create admin*** ``` ❯ vince admin --name acme --password 1234 ``` ***start server*** ``` ❯ vince serve 2024/10/23 15:32:08 [JOB 1] WAL file vince-data/pebble/000002.log with log number 000002 stopped reading at offset: 124; replayed 1 keys in 1 batches 2024/10/23 15:32:08 INFO starting event processing loop 2024/10/23 15:32:08 INFO starting server addr=:8080 ``` # Comparison with Plausible Analytics | feature | vince | Plausible | |---------|--------| -----------| | Entrerprise features | :x: | :white_check_mark:| | Hosted offering | :x: | :white_check_mark:| | Multi tenant | :x: | :white_check_mark:| | Funnels | :x: | :white_check_mark:| | Goals Conversion | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | Unique visitors | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | Total visits | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | Page views | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | Views per visit | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | Visit duration | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | Breakdown by **Cities**, **Sources**, **Pages** and **Devices** | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | Self Hosted | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | <1KB script | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | No Cookies(GDPR, PECR compliant) | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | 100% data ownershiip | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | Unique shared access to stats| :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | Outbound links tracking | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | File download tracking | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | 404 page tracking | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | Time period comparisons | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark:| | Unlimited sites | :white_check_mark: | :x:| | Unlimited events | :white_check_mark: | :x:| | Zero dependency | :white_check_mark: | :x: (needs elixir, clickhouse, postgresql ...etc)| | Automatic TLS | :white_check_mark: | :x:| # Credit [Plausible Analytics](https://github.com/Plausible/analytics) : `vince` started as a Go port of Plausible with a focus on self hosting.
