Starting point on this is while I've been using bitweaver for 20 years starting from it's precursor TikiWiki, remembering all that it does is almost impossible. Added to that I've put up with a few little niggles such as in this blog module when it would not take long to address them. So need to prioritise things a little better, which is already proving fruitful.

I am starting to get to like Jellyfin. Most things I have set up in Plex are just working, but the bit I do like is that it uses the metadata from Calibre for the book sections so I can manage everything from there.

So what is available to parse the files? A quick search put GoAccess as the top option, so I tried to get a copy loaded since it's not in the basic openSUSE setup of packages, but it is on the ex…
