meta-release pings web server, now needs a website to display results

also a notice on installer and option to remove it

machine ID is in /etc/update-manager/meta-release which ends up in web server logs for releases.neon.kde.org

https://github.com/apachelogger/neon-install-counter
runs on port 8585

this is fairly daft shit. parsing the logs is hella inefficient

Oh, and, to host this one obviously would need to have http proxying or some other shenaegans set up. I have no clue if the sysadmins actually have a preferred way to launch a helper written in Go.

I'd like a nice pretty website with graphs and charts showing the number of installs

I think what you want is google docs to eat data and then visualize them.

Sysadmins can easily roll out a simple php/python app that records the query params on-the-fly, which seems somewhat nicer than relying on the web server to actually create logs in files, in possibly random formats https://phabricator.kde.org/T2838#49920

How does this counter update? its stuck in Feb 2017.

I think this should be now closed? now that we have removed the stat counter due to GDPR(?) this task is no longer relevant.
