Add ability to combine user identities across servers to further aggregate stats

It's been two months since I first posted Tracearr here. 14 contributors and a lot of changes later, here's the update: **The big news:** iOS is sitting in App Store review right now. Android is in Google Play review for another 12 or so days. Both should go live by next week. Push notifications when someone triggers a rule, kill streams from your phone, full dashboard wherever you are. If you want to try it before public release, the Discord has TestFlight and Android Beta links! **- Website:** [tracearr.com](https://tracearr.com) \- Launched the first pass of the website! **- Docs:** [docs.tracearr.com](https://docs.tracearr.com) \- Docs site is up with install guides, troubleshooting, and documentation around rules and what the options mean. # The Rules Engine Got Rebuilt The old one was rigid - you were stuck with what I had hardcoded, and could only notify and decrease trust score. The new one has 22 conditions across 6 categories, 10 operators, and 8 action types. Mix and match with AND/OR logic. The new interface is heavily inspired by the folks at HomeAssistant and their incredible work with Automations. **Simple stuff:** * `concurrent streams > 2` → create violation * `travel speed > 500 mph` → notify (faster than a plane = probably something fishy..) * `country not in [US, Canada]` → log only **Where it gets interesting (AND/OR):** * `concurrent streams > 3 AND not local network` → kill oldest with message "Limit is 3 streams" * `inactive days > 90 AND streaming now` → notify on Discord (dormant account woke up) * `unique IPs in 24h > 5 AND trust score < 50` → high severity violation The kill stream action can target the triggering session, oldest session, newest session, all except one, or all user sessions. You can add delays and custom messages ("Your account is limited to 2 streams. Oldest session will end in 30 seconds."). # Analytics That Actually Mean Something Since launch we have cranked the collection and aggregation up to 11. We have added some deep library tracking which creates insights that can't be seen anywhere else! **- Binge scores** \- identifies consecutive watch patterns. See what users, and what media are most binged! **- Device health scores** \- combines direct play rate, codec support, and transcode frequency into one number. **- Stale Media** \- see what media is infrequently watched, or never watched. Identify how much space you can save by removing it. **- Storage Trends** understand what library growth over time looks like, and what media has the highest ROI relative to watches/size on disk. **- Quality Trends** watch your quality evolution over time, see how video and audio codecs are distributed across your media. **- Bandwidth Analysis** see what users consume the most bandwidth, alongside hours watched by time range and average bitrates for content consumed! # Other Stuff **- JellyStat import** \- finally. Import your backup including codec and transcode details. File size limit bumped to 500MB. **- Public API** \- REST API with Swagger docs at `/api-docs`. Generate your own API keys. **- Notifications** \- Pushover support, ntfy auth tokens for self-hosted instances, server health alerts when media servers go down. **- Live TV and music** \- Live TV, DVR sessions, and proper artist/album/track parsing now tracked. **- Translations** \- German and Portuguese thanks to contributors with more coming! **- Misc** \- Bulk actions for violations/users/rules, draggable server reordering, session history filters, view logs in the UI. # Expanded Deployment Options * Unraid (via community apps) * [TrueNAS](https://apps.truenas.com/catalog/tracearr/) * [Proxmox Community Script](https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=tracearr) * Supervised (All in one). [compose file](https://github.com/connorgallopo/Tracearr/blob/main/docker/examples/docker-compose.supervised-example.yml) * Services Stack with PG18, Redis, and Tracearr. [compose file](https://github.com/connorgallopo/Tracearr/blob/main/docker/examples/docker-compose.pg18.yml) # Community 14 contributors have shipped code since the original post. @JamsRepos sent 11 PRs - bulk actions, account inactivity rules, Windows fixes. @ncabete did Portuguese translations then kept going with IP enrichment, bandwidth sorting, transcode tooltips. @durzo wrote the Proxmox community script which is quickly becoming a popular deployment method. In 9 weeks we've done 950+ commits, 8 releases, and closed 186 issues. A ton of that came from bugs you all found. # What's Next? We have come a long way - but there is still a very long way to go! Here are some of the things either in progress, or planned as upcoming work: * Custom template engine for building custom dashboards as well as custom mailers / newsletters. * Ability to combine user identities across servers to further aggregate stats * All in one dashboards * Expanded access for additional admins or end-users * More integrations, more rules/triggers, and more data visualization! # Links [Website](https://tracearr.com) · [GitHub](https://github.com/connorgallopo/Tracearr) · [Discord](https://discord.gg/a7n3sFd2Yw) · [Docs](https://docs.tracearr.com) And for everyone: what stats would make you actually check the dashboard daily? * Gallapagos
