Voyeur

Self-hosted analytics for After Dark. Voyeur adds support for Fathom Analytics.

Requirements

• Domain Name. Pick one up on AWS Route 53 starting at $12/year.
• Virtual Private Server. Get one with Vultr, DigitalOcean or AWS Lightsail.

Setup

For Voyeur to operate you must have Fathom up and running on a VPS or embedded device such as ODROID or Raspberry Pi. If your domain uses TLS you must also enable TLS on your Fathom domain for reporting to function. If you have a wildcard SSL cert on your existing domain consider hosting Fathom on a subdomain such as stats.example.com for certificate reuse.

An example Docker Compose file to run Fathom using a Postgres database has been provided to you here as a convenience. Instructions on using it are beyond the scope of this module.

Installation

1. Copy the contents of this repository into a directory called themes/voyeur under the root your After Dark site.

2. Add voyeur as a theme component to your After Dark site config.toml, e.g.

   theme = [
     "voyeur", # sequence before "after-dark"
     "after-dark"
   ]

3. Add and specify settings for the module in your After Dark site config, e.g.

   [params.modules.voyeur]
     enabled = true # Optional, set false to disable module
     url = "https://stats.example.org" # Optional, base analytics URL
     port = "8080" # Optional, port setting

4. Build and deploy your After Dark site.

For additional information please see the Fathom project.
