You can self-host Fathom, I do.
It's very basic compared to Piwik, but it runs on PostgreSQL, my DB of choice, and it's written in Go, not PHP, which means it has higher performance and is more secure.
- RhodesianHunter 8y agoGo is not inherently more secure than PHP.
- onion2k 8y agoThere's nothing stopping you deliberately writing unsecure Go code but it's harder to make errors that open up security holes in Go. For example, Go's shell exec is better than PHPs equivalent by default. https://golang.org/pkg/os/exec/ https://golang.org/pkg/os/exec/
- d0100 8y agoI'd actually have to do some searching to find out how to write unsecure Go code.
- dvko 8y agoHey, good to see you already running Fathom! Just wanted to add that you can also use Fathom with MySQL or SQLite if that's more your cup of tea. It supports those 3 database engines right now.
- jazoom 8y agoDoes it work with CockroachDB? It aims for compatibility with Postgres but there are some differences so some projects aren't compatible.
