GoAccess is nice but when I tried it a few years ago I found that the results were not accurate. Maybe on a large site the signal rises way above the noise but I found for my blog/project site (with maybe 20 hits a day) the counts consisted of obvious bots that GoAccess didn't filter correctly.
Google Search Console is also widely inaccurate in the other direction.
I ended up just implementing a simple hit counter[0] which was fine for what I wanted.
