Motivation

Under the Insights->Graphs->Traffic on your repo page, GitHub offers charts that present the traffic statistics (views/clones numbers) for your repo. Unfortunately only stats from the last 14 days are accessible.

!WARNING!

Whoever hosts this app has access to all of the users' GitHub API tokens and repo traffic stats. Access to the tokens is needed for the cron job that updates users' repo stats daily (so that you can log in just once a year, and have stats accessible from the whole year period). Because of that I recommend self-hosting this app for yourself.

Users can revoke their OAuth tokens granted to the hub-traffic app at any time from the GitHub page https://github.com/settings/applications.

Deployment

1. register new GitHub OAuth app on https://github.com/settings/applications/new
   relevant docs: https://developer.github.com/apps/building-integrations/setting-up-and-registering-oauth-apps/registering-oauth-apps/

git clone https://github.com/adw1n/hub-traffic
cd hub-traffic
# put in src/main/resources/application.yml your Client ID and Client Secret obtained during step 1)
sudo mkdir -p /opt/hub-traffic/pgdata
sudo docker-compose build
sudo docker-compose up -d

App should be now accessible at http://localhost:8080.

I created a sample nginx config file config/hubtraffic.example.com.nginx that you can put in /etc/nginx/sites-available and then symlink to if from /etc/nginx/sites-enabled. Obviously you need to change the domain name both in the file name and in the file itself.

sudo cp config/hubtraffic.example.com.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-available
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/hubtraffic.example.com.nginx  /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/hubtraffic.example.com
sudo service nginx reload
