Ackee is a free and open-source self-hosted analytics tool that can help you track user behavior on your website. In this tutorial, we will walk you step-by-step through the process of installing and setting up Ackee on your Void Linux system.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to clone the Ackee Git repository on your system. Open a terminal window and execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/electerious/Ackee.git
This will download the Ackee source code into a new directory named Ackee.
Next, navigate to the Ackee directory and run the following command to install the project dependencies and build the app:
cd Ackee
npm install
npm run build
These commands will take some time to complete as they will install all the necessary dependencies and build the app.
Ackee uses a configuration file to define its settings. You can copy the example config file and edit it according to your needs. Execute the following command to create a copy of the example configuration file:
cp .env.example .env
Now, open the .env file in a text editor and configure the settings as per your requirements. You can set the following settings:
Finally, start the Ackee app by running the following command:
npm start
This will start the Ackee server on the default port 3000. You can access Ackee by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
That's it! You have successfully installed and set up Ackee on your Void Linux system. You can now use Ackee to track user behavior and analyze website traffic. Happy tracking!
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!
