Wrote up a quick post about the migration process of moving my website's page view data from #Plausible to #Umami

Turns out this was actually 108 gigabytes. Either way, I've now migrated from #Plausible to #Umami for my analytics needs and was able to transfer all my data seamlessly. Hopefully I won't have to switch to something else again, but just in case I did provision stats01, stats02 and stats03 domains for experiments :P
I present to you - probably my worst mastodon-related idea yet:
I've managed to add Plausible to my Mastodon instance:
https://blog.thms.uk/2026/01/adding-plausible-to-mastodon?utm_source=mastodon
Is it pointless? Yes.
Is it potentially dangerous? 100%.
Do I recommend you do it? Absolutely not!
But it was a fun little experiment ...
I really need to stop using #Plausible, the disk space usage from its Clickhouse dependency is just patently absurd. There is no world where I have enough analytics data stored for my website that it needs 90 gigabytes of storage space.

近期把博客的统计完全迁移到了 Umami，原因如下：
1. Plausible 有很多有用的功能，但是更新慢
2. Plausible 空载吃内存 1G+
3. Umami 和其他统计工具共同测试过，没有很明显的数据错误
4. Umami 的 IP 定位精准一些，Plausible 下载不了 City 库了 (不知道为什么
5. Umami 没有邮件报告，但是你可以自己写一个 XD

Need some input on #webanalytics .
For the past few years I've not used any dedicated analytics tools on any website I maintain, instead relying on server logs and piping them through Go access to get some visual representation of what's going on.
But I've never really liked it. It's a bit hacked together, always at the risk of loosing past data. And I generate a separate static page for each website, which is no fun to go through.
So I was looking around last night for a better solution and found #Plausible which seems low-key enough to not make me mad. Anyone have any experience with that? Or know of an alternative solution that might make me happy?
Some suggestions of open source tools for data #analytics for people thinking which tools to use or consider to use.
#Plausible for #web analytics. It's very lightweight and #privacy-friendly, #GDPR-compliant. It's possible to self-host, but their #SaaS offering is affordable and meets needs.
#Metabase (self-hosted) for #business intelligence and organizing business/customer #data. It takes some time to configure and prepare #datasets, but for long-term is worthy.
#Clickhouse for sub-second #OLAP analytics.
Depending on projects/business scenarios, Apache Software Foundation's tools like #Doris, #Airflow, #Druid, #Flink, #Cassandra. They require some time to learn, but it's good idea to be familiar with them.

We integrated Plausible analytics in the Pixelix homepage.
Plausable is an open source, privacy focused analytics solution. We are self hosting it and a cool feature is that it's possible to make the stats page public. Of course we enabled it :)

Việc sử dụng Google Analytics và PostHog gây khó khăn cho nhiều indie hacker do giao diện phức tạp, lo ngại về quyền riêng tư và tính năng quá tải. Các lựa chọn thay thế tốt hơn: Umami, Plausible, Microsoft Clarity.

I had a similar experience with #plausible . Moved to #umami . Never looked back.
@Mikal Perhaps the #Rapture is a myth propagated by aliens to get gullible humans to believe that when they are floating upwards, that they are going to heaven, when in reality, its an alien tractor beam feeding into a processing plant to power their spaceships. #Plausible
@amirbkhan@mastodon.social I recently compared #Umami and #Plausible and at this point, I can definitely recommend Plausible as a good option for ethical analytics.
Recently I've migrated from ~400kb Google Analytics JS to 4kb self-hosted solution. It's GDPR-compatible, bypasses AdBlock, have lightweight yet good dashboards, and I finally calm with my web analytics.

I ditched Google Analytics for Plausible, and wow. It's so clean! 🧩 No-cookie tracking means no annoying banners, plus the dashboard is a single-page masterpiece. You own your data. End of story. 🤯 #Plausible #SelfHosted #Analytics #PrivacyFirst
I’m debating which analytics solution to chose between Plausible Analytics and Umami.
They look weirdly similar, but to me Umami looks a bit more open than Plausible which locks some features behind a paywall.
What do you guys think?
