Liwan

Self-hosted, privacy-first web analytics

Visit Liwan

Liwan is self-hosted web analytics that runs as a single binary or Docker container, with the dashboard and database included and no additional services to manage. It is designed for understanding site traffic while keeping analytics data on your own server, without tracking cookies or cross-site tracking.

The dashboard shows most-visited pages, traffic sources, and changes over time, updating automatically and filtering bots by default. Data collection and retention are configurable, including location detail, campaign attribution, visitor grouping, and session metrics. Tracking is provided through a small script added with one line of HTML, compatible with any framework or CMS. Accounts can be managed through single sign-on with Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, or an OpenID Connect provider such as Keycloak or Dex.
