EDIT Sep 4, 2020 After having stability issues with self-hosted Umami. I decided to use Fathom Analytics and have been happy about it since then. I...

This looked good! Until I had a look at the feature set of umami :( It doesn't support custom events, which are great for a deeper dive of the user's activity:
However, the point about bypassing ad blockers is good! (also not feeding the Google monopoly)
Hey!
What do you mean by custom events?
If I am not wrong I think Umami supports it.

Maybe the other solutions in the article are providing custom events. It was fun and easy to setup umami but ultimately maybe I'll use something else. For now it's good enough
Thank you for this article!
I’m self-hosting Umami on a DigitalOcean server, and it’s been working like a charm! The only feature I felt was missing was the ability to send email reports, which is part of Umami’s Pro/Paid plan.
Since I dabble in development, I decided to build my own Python-based solution to fill the gap. It’s open-source and free to use—check out the code here:

I'm pretty sure I'm going to build an analytics system around these adi.tilde.institute/cl/.
Great! I'm definitely going to check this. I'm using Ackee currently, which is very nice but too simple for my taste. I saw your post on the Github Issue :)
Oh wow did not even know Ackee, well it seems Ackee has more features than umami actually :D
Oh may be but it doesn't have country/region and I'd like to have it. Yes, it's by option, and makes sense for privacy, but I'd still like to have it :)
Great article! I found it looking at how to roll out my own Umami instance. I'm interested to know what stability issues you were having that prompted the switch to Fathom?
Here I am a few years later reading this post.. and also wondering what those stability issues were. Maybe it has been fixed meanwhile.
@vvo Have you rechecked umami lately or stuck with Fathom?
How can I host it through Cpenal
