Heads up that the goaccess in Ubuntu's universe repo is woefully out of date, so DON'T apt-get install it. Download and build from source - you'll get a much better experience.

I've noticed this with several other packages in universe recently too, it seems to be updated much less than you'd expect. It's a community-maintained repo, but you'd think the Ubuntu community is large enough to stay on top of some of this stuff. As it stands, the redis in universe on 14.04 has had unpatched security issues for at least 2 years.

GoAccess have a PPA for Ubuntu / Debian as well: https://goaccess.io/download#official-repo

Most PPAs breaks my APT or doesn't even share the same required libs. For debian most PPAs that are initially setup for Ubuntu feel useless.

I have had the same experience generally, but had no issues with goaccess' PPA on Debian Jessie.

I'm using Piwik for JS tracking (pageviews, searches and external links) and Goaccess for apache log (http statistics updated every 3 hours), great combo!

Seconded! I just switched from Piwik to goaccess last week, mostly because goaccess is much easier to use.

Piwik certainly has more features though.

Thanks, that seems useful.
