I recently stumbled upon OxiTraffic, a self-hosted, simple and privacy respecting website traffic tracker which is well suited for blogs. What that means is

  • No personal data is logged
  • one binary or simple docker container
  • Readers are only counted if they spend >20s per site

As I currently have no analytics on my blog and I am not inclined to use anything that adds more than 2 sentences to my privacy disclaimer I thought I give it a try. Naturally I wrote an ansible role for this, which can be found under mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-oxitraffic. I now have this neat graph.

Hosting Static Sites with Traefik and Static Web Server

Traefik is amazing to host complex services like with containers. On the other hand it’s harder than you’d think to host a simple static html site. I wanted to share my current approach that is based on Static Web Server Project.

Static Web Server (SWS)

Static Web Server (or SWS abbreviated) is a simple and really fast web server with the goal to serve static web files or assets. The tiny docker image is only 4 MB with a small memory footprint. We can therefore afford to run a container for each static site.
