Umami isn't half bad self hosted. Been using it with Docker Compose for a few years now on a LEB and it's working great.

It's not bad but it's a massive resource hog for what it purports to do. Shame that most of the self host analytics use things like typescript or php rather than more performant languages like Go. Speaking of which:

Looks interesting but haven't delved in it too much. I do like how I can create specific analytic tracking events without worrying too much about ad blockers but that's hardly unique to Umami.

There's also another interesting analytics open source project whose name I am forgetting. It was written in C or something and was efficient enough to allow free usage or self hosted, it was a simple hit counter I believe.

I think you might be confusing Umami with Plausible? Plausible is a total mess of heavy-idling containers and ClickHouse. I dropped switched to Umami and have had no performance issues of any kind. It's running on ~12 year old shitbox. I do only deal with ~10K events per day max though.
