GoatCounter is an Open Source Analytics written in Go.
## Why self host?
GoatCounter offers a free hosted version for small and hobby websites.
One issue however occurs when users with an adblocker access the website, as access to external websites is often blocked.
By hosting GoatCounter yourself on a different subdomain, most adblockers will allow the request to go through.
GoatCounter [most likely](https://www.goatcounter.com/help/gdpr) does not require a GDPR consent notice.
## Installation
GoatCounter is distributed as a statically compiled binary.
