Show HN: Bearlytics – Open-source web analytics you can self-host

I recently tried to self-host Umami and Plausible, and failed so spectacularly I decided to build a Django/SQLite web-analytics platform myself.

These other open-source tools are great, but are incredibly difficult to get running yourself since there's no incentive for those companies to make it easy since they sell managed hosting.

Is Bearlytics better? No, but it's certainly simpler, and everything I personally need.

Congrats on building Bearlytics!

I agree with you, it's weird most cloud analytics offer self-hosted versions, when that goes directly against their business model. In the best case, the self-hosted version can act as a lead magnet, attracting customers for the cloud offerring, but in that case, it's still in their best interested to not make the self-hosted version as good as the cloud one.
