The standard recommendation is https://matomo.org/. I’ve used it in production once (when it was called Piwik) and it seemed reasonable, but I’m not sure how it stacks up right now.

I have an indie project called Fugu (https://fugu.lol). Fugu is an open-source and privacy-friendly product analytics. If you're looking strictly for web analytics, it might not be a good fit. It's still an early version, but basic things like tracking events with properties, and analzying those, work very well. I'm currently working on adding conversion funnels. It's free to self-host, and I provide a managed version for $9/month flat. I've started Fugu because I wanted a product analytics software that is privacy-first (e.g., no possibility of tracking unique users), open-source and simple. I liked using PostHog but it got too fancy, complex and convoluted for my taste - a common theme among analytics software in my experience. If you're looking for a pure web analytics solution, I can absolutely recommend Plausible (https://plausible.io). I also use it for my static page at Fugu.

Https://panelbear.com/ isn’t open source but privacy friendly. I found it on HN (the founder is one here), can’t speak more highly of it. If you are tracking more than one site and want to get a good overview I recommend it.

iko.ai

Real-time collaborative notebooks on your own Kubernetes clusters to train, track, package, deploy, and monitor your machine learning models.

PostHog: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog if you want to deploy it yourself and https://posthog.com if you want the SaaS. I was using Avodocs (https://www.avodocs.com) to produce a privacy policy for our MLOps platform, https://iko.ai, but they didn't have PostHog in the list for the "Analytics" section, and they assumed that doing analytics implied sending user data to a third party site or something. I tweeted at them and they were lightning fast in reaching out and adding PostHog to the options of the the privacy policy template. It's really cool: https://twitter.com/jugurthahadjar/status/1447337506563891201.

Huh, the UI seems refreshingly lightweight and boring! Feels very much like the first time I saw Kanboard and was surprised at how minimalistic and snappy it felt in comparison to something like Jira: https://kanboard.org/ (well, most software probably feels more snappy than Jira, but Kanboard was also amazing).
