Matomo and OWA
Matomo and OWA require JavaScript tracking on the browser side. I do not like it.
Prometheus
The Caddy doc provides some Prometheus queries. Garcon should use the same metrics naming as Caddy.
The Prometheus client provides monitoring functions: pkg.go.dev
An example: GitHub
Garcon should use them!
