Ackee is a free and open-source self-hosted analytics tool that can be used to track and analyze website traffic. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Ackee on Debian Latest.
Before installing Ackee, we need to install some dependencies on the server. We can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential python2
Now, we can proceed with the installation of Ackee. Follow these steps:
npm install
After installing Ackee, we need to configure it to work with our MongoDB database. To do this, follow these steps:
.env in the root directory..env file:MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/ackee
MONGODB_DATABASE=ackee
MONGODB_USERNAME=
MONGODB_PASSWORD=
Replace localhost with the IP address of your MongoDB server if it is not running on the same machine as Ackee.
Now that we have installed and configured Ackee, we can start it using the following command:
npm start
You should see output indicating that Ackee is running and listening on a specific port.
Finally, we can access Ackee by opening a web browser and navigating to http://<server-ip>:3000. You should see the Ackee login screen.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ackee on Debian Latest.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
