Nobody has ever seen their own numbers on the analytics page.

WebsiteAnalytics existed and the read endpoints queried it correctly, but the only thing that could write to it was a webhook nothing has ever called. So the table was always empty, and _generate_sample_analytics filled the gap with random.randint page views, visitors, bounce rates and bandwidth — every site, every day, invented.

Where the numbers come from now

nginx is already logging every request to every user site; it just wasn't being kept or read. It writes JSON now, and manage.py aggregate_access_logs rolls that into one row per site per day.

Chosen over a tracking script because it needs no change to anybody's website, counts static files as well as pages, cannot be blocked, and is the only source that can account for bandwidth honestly — the same bandwidth the hosting quota is spent on.

The log goes to its own bind mount (/data/ufazien/logs), not a directory inside the webroot. Under /var/www/html it would be served: the vhost roots at /var/www/html/$subdomain, so logs.ufazien.com would have handed out every visitor's address on the platform.

Judgement calls, all of them visible in the tests:

  • Assets are traffic but not readership. Somebody reading one page pulls a dozen of them; counting each as a view turns twelve readers into a hundred and fifty.
  • Crawlers are excluded by default. They are most of the traffic to a small site.
  • Addresses are hashed with a per-day salt. Telling two visitors apart does not require keeping either of them, and the hash cannot be followed from one day to the next.
  • bounce_rate and avg_session_duration stay at zero. A log line is a request, not a session. They need a script on the page, and inventing them is the exact problem this replaces.
  • Absolute totals, never increments — so running the command twice changes nothing, and it refuses to lower a day unless given --force, because a log holding less than it did is rotation rather than a quieter day.

Three things found on the way

WebsiteAnalytics.bandwidth_used was read by the endpoint and did not exist on the model. It only ever ran against invented rows, so the page would have 500'd the moment a real one appeared — i.e. the first time this feature worked.

The traffic chart read the wrong field. It expected analyticsData.analytics keyed by date; the endpoint returns daily_data, a list. The chart would have drawn nothing even once the data was real, while the summary cards above it filled in — which reads as "no traffic yet" rather than as a bug.

The webhook had no authentication at all. @csrf_exempt, website_id straight from the body: anybody could post any figures for anybody's site. It also added to what was there, so a retried delivery counted twice, and unique_visitors — which cannot be summed, since the same person on two posts is one visitor — drifted further every time. It is signed with HOSTING_WEBHOOK_SECRET now, identifies the site by subdomain, sets rather than adds, and fails closed: with no secret configured it refuses everything rather than waving it through.

Verified

Ran the aggregator over a log containing the awkward cases — assets, a 404, a crawler, a self-referrer, a host with no website, a foreign host, and a half-written line:

2026-08-20  views=32  visitors=7  bytes=101836
   top: [{'path': '/', 'views': 20}, {'path': '/about', 'views': 12}]
   ref: [{'referrer': 'https://news.example.com/story', 'visits': 1}]
2026-08-21  views=12  visitors=12  bytes=24576

94 log lines, 32 page views — the assets, the error, the crawler and the foreign hosts are traffic or nothing, not readership. Then through the endpoint the page actually calls: total_page_views: 44, total_unique_visitors: 19, total_bandwidth: 126412.

  • 42 new tests; backend 390, frontend 827
  • Mutation-checked: restoring the sample generator, removing the signature check, and switching the webhook back to += each fail exactly the tests that name them

To turn on

  1. Redeploy the hosting compose resource (new log mount + log_format).
  2. Mount /data/ufazien/logs read-only into the backend resource.
  3. Set HOSTING_WEBHOOK_SECRET if you want the webhook; leave it unset and the endpoint stays shut.
  4. Run manage.py aggregate_access_logs on a timer — hourly is plenty.

Until step 4 runs, sites report zero rather than fiction, which is the honest state.

Changes

Hosting analytics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Log capture and daily parsing
hosting/nginx/hosting.conf, hosting/docker-compose.yaml, backend/hosting/access_logs.py, backend/ufazien/settings.py, CLAUDE.md
Nginx writes private JSON access logs. The parser aggregates daily traffic, bandwidth, visitors, pages, and referrers from plain or gzip logs.
Daily analytics persistence
backend/hosting/migrations/0006_websiteanalytics_bandwidth_used.py, backend/hosting/models.py, backend/hosting/management/commands/aggregate_access_logs.py, backend/hosting/tests_analytics.py
The command maps aggregates to known sites and upserts WebsiteAnalytics rows with dry-run, bot-counting, idempotency, and force options.
Signed ingestion and persisted API responses
backend/hosting/views.py, backend/hosting/tests_analytics.py
The webhook validates signed payloads and performs daily upserts. The analytics endpoint returns persisted records without sample data.
Daily analytics response rendering
frontend/src/pages/hosting/Analytics.tsx
The page reads ordered daily_data rows and renders traffic and bandwidth charts.

Campus entrance-hall flag removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove flag visuals and colliders
frontend/src/components/campus/BuildingInteriors.tsx, frontend/src/components/campus/interiorPhysics.ts, frontend/src/components/campus/interiorPhysics.test.ts
The entrance-hall flag rendering and colliders are removed. Tests verify unobstructed traversal.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5e717

The change adds persistent visitor-address logs without an expiry policy and can undercount bandwidth from crawler traffic or display inaccurate chart values, affecting privacy, storage, quota reporting, and analytics accuracy. Merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance of these bounded risks.

Remove the shadowed analytics action.

WebsiteViewSet declares analytics twice: once at lines 363-378 and again at lines 418-479. Python keeps the second definition, so the first one never runs and the route serves this changed block. The dead version returns a different shape (a bare serialized list, not summary/daily_data), so a future edit there would look correct and change nothing.

Delete the earlier definition.

72-101: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Preload existing rows, and include bandwidth in the shrink guard.

Two points on this loop:

  1. Line 81 runs one query per (site, day). The command already fetches all sites in one query; do the same for the existing analytics rows and look them up from a dict.
  2. The guard on lines 82-86 compares only page_views. A truncated log with equal page views but fewer bytes still lowers bandwidth_used, which is the field the hosting quota is measured against. Compare bandwidth too.

Nobody has ever seen their own numbers on it.

`WebsiteAnalytics` existed and the read endpoints queried it correctly, but the
only thing that could write to it was a webhook nothing has ever called — so
the table was always empty, and `_generate_sample_analytics` filled the gap
with `random.randint` page views, visitors, bounce rates and bandwidth. Every
site, every day, invented.

nginx is already logging every request to every user site. It now writes them
as JSON, and `manage.py aggregate_access_logs` rolls them into a row per site
per day: page views, unique visitors, bandwidth, top pages, referrers. No
change to anybody's website, static files counted as well as pages, and it is
the only source that can account for bandwidth honestly — which is the same
bandwidth the hosting quota is spent on.

The log goes to its own bind mount rather than a directory inside the webroot.
Under /var/www/html it would be served: the vhost roots at
/var/www/html/$subdomain, so logs.ufazien.com would have handed out every
visitor's address on the platform.

What it does not produce is `bounce_rate` and `avg_session_duration`. A log line
is a request, not a session; those need a script running on the page. They stay
at zero rather than being invented, which is the whole problem this replaces.

Assets are traffic but not readership — somebody reading one page pulls a dozen
of them, and counting each as a view turns twelve readers into a hundred and
fifty. Crawlers are excluded by default, since they are most of the traffic to a
small site. Addresses are hashed with a per-day salt: telling two visitors apart
does not require keeping either of them.

Three things found on the way:

`WebsiteAnalytics.bandwidth_used` was read by the endpoint and did not exist on
the model. It only ever ran against invented rows, so the moment a real one
appeared the page would have 500'd.

The traffic chart read `analyticsData.analytics`, keyed by date. The endpoint
returns `daily_data`, a list. So the chart would have drawn nothing even once
the data was real, while the summary cards above it filled in — which reads as
"no traffic yet" rather than as a bug.

And the webhook had no authentication at all: `website_id` straight from the
body, `@csrf_exempt`, so anybody could post any figures for anybody's site. It
also added to what was there, so a retried delivery counted twice and
`unique_visitors` — which cannot be added up, since the same person on two
posts is one visitor — drifted further every time. It is signed now, identifies
the site by subdomain, sets rather than adds, and refuses everything when no
secret is configured.

42 new tests. Backend 390, frontend 827.

Bandwidth is counted before the crawler filter. A crawler spends the quota the
same as a reader, and `bandwidth_used` is what the quota is checked against —
skipping the line entirely meant a site crawled all week reported almost none
of the traffic it actually served.

The webhook signature is compared as bytes. `hmac.compare_digest` raises
TypeError on a str holding anything outside ASCII, so one odd character in the
header turned a 401 into a 500 — which tells whoever sent it that their guess
was interesting.

The chart's dates are parsed as local. `YYYY-MM-DD` alone is midnight UTC,
which renders as the day before anywhere west of it: every point labelled
wrongly for half the world.

Bandwidth is charted to two decimals. Whole megabytes rounded a small site's
day to zero, which is the flat empty line this PR set out to fix.

And the access log is rotated: daily, seven days, compressed, with nginx told
to reopen. It holds a raw address for every request to every hosted site — the
one place on the platform that does, since the aggregator hashes them on the
way in — so the retention limit has to be applied there. nginx:alpine ships
neither logrotate nor cron, so both are added.

That last one is why this was run rather than reasoned about. logrotate refuses
a config that is group-writable, and says so only in its own output: COPY keeps
the repo's 0664, so the rotation silently never happened. The mode is pinned to
0644.

Comment thread backend/hosting/management/commands/aggregate_access_logs.py Outdated
Every site made through the create form would have reported zero.

The subdomain is not on `Website`. `Website.name` is the label typed on step one
of the form — "My Portfolio" — and the subdomain is the separate field beside
it, saved as a `Domain` row. Deployment roots the site's directory at the
domain's name, which is what nginx serves it under, which is what arrives as
`$host` in the log this reads:

    subdomain = instance.domain.name.split('.')[0]   # hosting/views.py

I matched that host against `Website.name` instead, in the command and in the
webhook. A site called "My Portfolio" on portfolio.ufazien.com matched nothing
and recorded nothing — silently, since an unmatched host is a normal thing to
skip.

I got there from `Website.url` and read only its second line: the first is
`if self.domain: return f"https://{self.domain.name}"`, and the
`{self.name}.ufazien.com` I quoted is the fallback for a site that has no
domain at all.

Aggregation is keyed by host now rather than by a subdomain cut out of it,
which also fixes the other half: a site on a domain of its own was dropped
before any lookup happened, without even appearing in the list of hosts that
went unmatched. `sites_by_host` resolves both, one query, shared by the command
and the webhook so the two cannot drift apart again.

The tests were green because the fixtures were wrong in the same direction as
the code: every one was `Website.objects.create(name='alice')` with no domain,
so the label and the subdomain were the same string. They build sites the way
the form does now — a label, and a subdomain on a `Domain` — and there is a
test for a custom domain, one for the no-domain fallback, and one that runs the
whole path for a site called "Dave's Big Project" on dave.ufazien.com.

Restoring the lookup by label fails seven of them.

Backend 399 tests.

…tched

It read zeroes for every site, whatever the traffic. The figures were fetched
and then read back out of the store through a closure from the render before:

    await fetchWebsiteAnalytics(id, period)       // puts it in the store
    const data = getWebsiteAnalytics(id, period)  // reads the old state
    setAnalyticsData(data)                        // null

`getWebsiteAnalytics` closes over the state of the render it was made in, so
straight after the await it still answers with what was there before — null on
the first pass, which is every pass, since nothing re-runs the effect
afterwards. The page used the value it was handed and set itself to nothing.

This is the half of martian56#175 I did not check. I verified that endpoint against the
API and the field names against the response, and never opened the page with
real rows behind it — so a page that could not have worked passed review.

It uses the value the fetch returns now.

Three more on the same page, found by looking at it:

Top pages said per-page figures were not collected. They are, since martian56#175 — the
line was true when written and stopped being true in the same PR.

"Performance Metrics" gave Avg. Load Time 1.2s, Uptime 99.9% and Status
Healthy, all three typed into the markup. Nothing measures any of them and all
three would have read the same through an outage. Replaced with where readers
came from, which the logs do know.

Bounce rate and session length rendered as "0.0%" and "0m 0s", which reads as
measured and very good rather than as not measured at all. They show a dash and
say what they would need.

Verified against rows the aggregator wrote, rather than seeded ones: both pages
now report 6 visitors, 10 page views, /about 4 · / 3 · /contact 3 and the one
referrer, matching each other and the database.

Frontend 843 tests.

* fix(hosting): show a website its own traffic on its own page

The per-site Analytics tab was entirely invented. Visitors, page views, bounce
rate, session length, the traffic chart, top pages, traffic sources, the device
split and a "real-time activity" panel counting users online — every one of
them `Math.random()`, re-rolled on each render. The real analytics were
fetched by `WebsiteDetail`, passed into the tab as a prop, and never read.

They are read now, and what cannot be measured is said rather than made up:

  visitors, views, bandwidth   from the aggregated logs
  traffic chart                a point per day, dates parsed as local
  top pages, referrers         what was actually read, and what linked to it
  device split                 from the user agent, counted in aggregation
  bounce rate, session length  "Not measured — needs a script on your pages"
  real-time activity           gone; nothing measures it

"Traffic Sources" claimed a Direct / Google / Social Media / Referrals split
with fixed percentages beside random counts. A log knows referrers, so that is
what it shows, and it says when everybody arrived without one instead of
inventing a category.

Three more found beside it:

`Website.total_visits` is read by the site's own page, by the dashboard total,
and by the public listing — which is *ordered* by it. Nothing has ever written
it, so it was zero everywhere and the ordering meant nothing. The aggregator
maintains it, recomputed rather than incremented so a second run does not
double anybody's traffic.

The header card read "Uptime 99.9%", typed into the markup. Nothing measures
uptime; it would have read 99.9% through an outage. Replaced with bandwidth,
which is a number we have.

And when the analytics request failed, the page substituted an empty week in
key names the tab does not read, so a failure looked exactly like a site nobody
has visited. It now says the figures could not be loaded.

jsdom has no ResizeObserver and recharts builds one on mount, so any test
rendering a chart died before asserting anything. Stubbed in the test setup.

* fix(hosting): the platform analytics page never showed anything it fetched

It read zeroes for every site, whatever the traffic. The figures were fetched
and then read back out of the store through a closure from the render before:

    await fetchWebsiteAnalytics(id, period)       // puts it in the store
    const data = getWebsiteAnalytics(id, period)  // reads the old state
    setAnalyticsData(data)                        // null

`getWebsiteAnalytics` closes over the state of the render it was made in, so
straight after the await it still answers with what was there before — null on
the first pass, which is every pass, since nothing re-runs the effect
afterwards. The page used the value it was handed and set itself to nothing.

This is the half of #175 I did not check. I verified that endpoint against the
API and the field names against the response, and never opened the page with
real rows behind it — so a page that could not have worked passed review.

It uses the value the fetch returns now.

Three more on the same page, found by looking at it:

Top pages said per-page figures were not collected. They are, since #175 — the
line was true when written and stopped being true in the same PR.

"Performance Metrics" gave Avg. Load Time 1.2s, Uptime 99.9% and Status
Healthy, all three typed into the markup. Nothing measures any of them and all
three would have read the same through an outage. Replaced with where readers
came from, which the logs do know.

Bounce rate and session length rendered as "0.0%" and "0m 0s", which reads as
measured and very good rather than as not measured at all. They show a dash and
say what they would need.

Verified against rows the aggregator wrote, rather than seeded ones: both pages
now report 6 visitors, 10 page views, /about 4 · / 3 · /contact 3 and the one
referrer, matching each other and the database.

Frontend 843 tests.

* fix(hosting): fill the bandwidth quota, and stop small sites reading as zero

`BandwidthUsage` was read by the dashboard, by the bandwidth panel on the
analytics page and by `get_usage_stats` — and written by nothing at all, so
every one of them reported zero however much anybody served. The aggregator
fills it from the same bytes it already counts, in the same run.

It counts requests rather than page views: assets, errors and crawlers all
spend the quota, and a page-view count would report a fraction of what the
server actually sent.

The awkward part is the column. `bandwidth_mb` is a whole number of megabytes
and the sites here serve kilobytes a day — rounding down records a real day as
nothing, and rounding up records 14 KB as a megabyte, seventy times what it
was, against a quota. So the bytes are stored exactly in a new column and
everything reads that: the bandwidth endpoint, its daily chart, and
`get_usage_stats`. `bandwidth_mb` stays, derived and rounded, for the readers
that still use it.

`formatStorage` printed `${0.02} MB` for a real day of traffic, which reads as
nothing. Sub-megabyte sizes are written in KB, and long decimals are rounded
rather than shown raw.

Storage needed nothing: `compute_storage` measures the site's directory and
writes `storage_used_mb` already. Checked the measurement rather than assumed
it — a 2.5 MB directory reports 2 MB. It reads zero locally because
`/srv/hosting` has no files here.

Verified against rows the aggregator wrote: the panel reads "20 KB / 10.0 GB"
where it read "0 MB / 0 MB", and the endpoint returns 0.02 MB where it summed
the megabyte column to 0.

* fix(hosting): stop handing a site owner other people's URLs

Review found four things, and the first is a privacy leak I introduced.

Referrers were stored and shown as the full `Referer` value. That is the whole
address of the page a reader came from, and that page belongs to a *different*
site than the one being reported to: its path and query can carry a
password-reset token, an unsubscribe link, a session id, or somebody's email
address. All of it was being handed to whoever owns the site that was linked
to. `CLAUDE.md` states the rule for `community` — a user's email must never
reach another user — and this is the same rule in a different app.

Only the origin is kept now, scheme and host, and credentials in the netloc are
dropped with the rest. Reduced twice over: on the way in, so nothing longer is
ever written, and on the way out, so a row written before this cannot leak
either. `manage.py scrub_referrers` reduces what is already stored.

Nothing is lost — the panel only ever showed the source — and two pages of the
same site now sensibly count as one referrer rather than two.

The other three:

A period's ranking was merged from each day's top ten, so a page eleventh every
day for a week could never appear however often it was read. Fifty are kept per
day and ten are shown. A site with a longer tail than that needs per-day
counters in a table of their own, which is more than the ranking is worth.

Device shares were rounded one at a time, so three equal counts showed 33% each
and the panel added up to 99. The whole parts are taken first and the remainder
handed to the largest fractions.

And the note under the tab said every visit was included, which is not true:
crawlers, assets, redirects and errors are all left out of the reading figures
and counted only towards bandwidth. It says what it means now.

Backend 415 tests, frontend 851.

* fix(hosting): type the device-share fixture so typecheck passes

CI failed on it. A bare array of differently-shaped object literals widens to a
union whose optional keys are `undefined`, which is not a
`Record<string, number>` — so the fixture I added for the rounding test would
not compile.

My fault for not running it: the last commit ran the tests and the build, and
`vite build` strips types without checking them, so neither would ever have
caught this. `bun run typecheck` is the step that does.

While in the file, three locals that lint calls dead: `getWebsiteAnalytics`,
unused since the stale read it fed was removed, and `formatBytes` and
`bandwidthData`, both already unused before any of this.
