A small tutorial on how to analyze the Caddy access log with GoAccess and how to host the overview as a static web page. It is always nice to have a graphical overview of the amount and type of requests the webs erver is handling. GoAccess is a fairly powerful real-time web log analyzer that has the ability to save the output of parsed log files to an HTML report. I’ve automated this process with a bash script that runs hourly on my web server.
I’m going to show you how I automated the build and deployment process of my static webpage (yes the one you are currently reading).
It all started when my VPS hosting company had a really good deal, where I got two .de domains for cheap. Since I didn’t really know what to do with them, I used both domains to get myself a bit more into hosting a static website behind Cloudflare.
