You're in Hungary, right? I do think that like any EU country, you need explicit informed consent to gather analytics like that, and offer a way to opt out (for example via setting an env var)

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, I'm from Hungary. I will add an opt-out feature, but I do not think it is an analytics thing. It is used to count installed instances on the frontpage. That's all.

You most likely process PII (IP address) that is not strictly required to run the service by doing so. There is clear precedence in the GDPR for this. Doesn't matter if you call it analytics or not.
