Using GoAccess with Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) to visuallize logs.¶

I mainly wanted to make sure and get this docker-compose.yml in here for future use.

Note the last couple of lines. You can set to the log file to digest all logs. However, GoAccess doesn't support any filtering per hostname, so if you want to see analytics for only a particular host name, you want would to just mount the proxy-host-1_access.log for example. npm creates one of these for each proxy host.

services:
  nginx_proxy_manager:
    image: "jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest"
    container_name: nginx_proxy_manager
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: "host"
    ports:
      - "80:80"    # HTTP
      - "443:443"  # HTTPS
      - "81:81"    # Admin Panel
    volumes:
      - ./data/npm_data:/data
      - ./data/npm_letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
      - ./data/npm_logs:/var/log/nginx  
    environment:
      DB_SQLITE_FILE: "/data/database.sqlite" # Using SQLite instead of MySQL for simplicity
      INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAIL: admin@example.com
      INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD: changeme


  goaccess:
    image: justsky/goaccess-for-nginxproxymanager:latest
    container_name: goaccess
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
        - TZ=America/Denver
        #- SKIP_ARCHIVED_LOGS=False #optional   
        #- BASIC_AUTH=False #optional
        #- BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME=user #optional
        #- BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=pass #optional                
    ports:
        - '7880:7880'
    volumes:
        #- ./data/npm_data/logs:/opt/log
        - ./data/npm_data/logs/proxy-host-1_access.log:/opt/log/proxy-host-1_access.log

Note when using a cloud flare tunnel, make sure you add this in the advanced tab. This will ensure you're getting the real ip from users from the cloudflare tunnel.
