Why not use a self-hosted analytics software like https://matomo.org/ https://matomo.org/ ?

  I wish they had a simple Docker image available with everything setup and configurable from a single file. The installation process is complex and under documented, IMHO. But the software is pretty nice!

    Why do you need Docker for a simple PHP & MySQL script? To install it you just need to setup a MySQL database and enter the credentials in the setup script. Finally, add the tracking code to your site, but that's the same for every analytics engine.

      Maybe if someone hasn't an existing php host and doesn't want to configure one from scratch.

      And you also need to set up a bunch of things in your web server, add the cron jobs, run the update script and hope everything still works afterwards etc.

    Even more simple, they have a Cloudron image. Click and deploy.

      This looks like you need to pay Cloudron even if you run it on your own server.

  Still a lot of overhead though, and regularly blocked by privacy minded individuals.

    Matomo can work with the logs only if needed. Providing all the benefits like respecting user privacy and working around ad blockers.
