Traefik Rybbit Feeder Plugin

A Traefik middleware plugin that sends visits to your Rybbit instance.

This is a fork of traefik-umami-feeder modified to work with Rybbit.

Introduction

This plugin integrates your Traefik-proxied services with Rybbit, a simple, fast, privacy-focused analytics solution. It captures basic request information (path, user-agent, referrer, IP) and forwards it to your Rybbit instance, enabling server-side analytics.

Key features:

• Stupidly simple to setup, one middleware for all websites possible
• Server-Side Tracking, no JS or Cookies bullshit
• Fast and private

Configuration

Step 1. Add the plugin to Traefik

Declare the plugin in your Traefik static configuration.

experimental:
  plugins:
    rybbit-feeder:
      moduleName: github.com/foxxmd/traefik-rybbit-feeder
      version: v0.13.0 # Replace with the latest version

Step 2. Configure the middleware

Once the plugin is declared, configure it as a middleware in your Traefik dynamic configuration.

You will need to specify at least three pieces of data:

• host - Your Rybbit instance base URL. This is URL without /api/track.
• apiKey - The Api Key generated for the website you wish to track.
• websites - A map of domain - site-id properties to tell the feeder what traffic should go to your Rybbit Site

There are additional, optional Middleware Options to configure more behavior below.

http:
  middlewares:
    my-rybbit-middleware:
      plugin:
        rybbit-feeder:
          host: "http://rybbit.mysite.com" # URL of your Rybbit instance

          apiKey: rb_a0938250c2c2efd061c8250c2c3707a

          websites:
            # domain to capture traffic for and the site-id from Rybbit
            "example.com": "1"

Step 3. Attach the middleware to your routers

Apply the configured middleware to the Traefik routers you want to track with Rybbit. This is also done in your dynamic configuration.

Remember to use the correct provider namespace (e.g., @file if your middleware is defined in a file, @docker if defined via Docker labels).

Example using Docker labels:

- "traefik.http.routers.whoami.middlewares=my-rybbit-middleware@file"

Example using a dynamic configuration file (e.g., dynamic_conf.yml):

http:
  routers:
    whoami:
      rule: "Host(`example.com`)"
      middlewares:
        - my-rybbit-middleware@file

Example using static configuration (e.g., traefik.yml), by attaching the middleware to an entryPoint to apply it globally:

entryPoints:
  web:
    http:
      middlewares:
        - my-rybbit-middleware@file

Middleware Options

key	default	type	description
disabled	false	bool	Set to true to disable the plugin.
debug	false	bool	Set to true for verbose logging. Useful for troubleshooting as plugins don't inherit Traefik's global log level.
host	required	string	URL of your Rybbit instance, reachable from Traefik (e.g., https://rybbit.mydomain.com).
apiKey	required	string	Rybbit API Key for authenticating with your Rybbit instance.
websites	required	map	A map of hostname: site-id
trackErrors	false	bool	If true, tracks errors (status codes >= 400).
trackAllResources	false	bool	If true, tracks requests for all resources. By default, only requests likely to be page views (e.g., HTML, or no specific extension) are tracked.
trackExtensions	[see sources]	string[]	A list of specific file extensions to track (e.g., [".html", ".php"]).
ignoreUserAgents	[]	string[]	A list of user-agent substrings. Requests with matching user-agents will be ignored (e.g., ["Googlebot", "Uptime-Kuma"]). Matched with strings.Contains.
ignoreURLs	[]	string[]	A list of regular expressions. Requests with URLs matching any of these patterns will be ignored (e.g., ["/health", "https?://[^/]+/health$"]). Matched with regexp.Compile.MatchString.
ignoreIPs	[]	string[]	A list of IP addresses or CIDR ranges to ignore (e.g., ["127.0.0.1", "10.0.0.1/16"]). Matched with netip.ParsePrefix.Contains.
headerIp	X-Real-Ip	string	The HTTP header to inspect for the client's real IP address, typically used when Traefik is behind another proxy.
