Super simple email open/click tracking server.

For each event, it logs a JSON object to the output (a.k.a JSON Lines). You can then pipe it to any program that you want to further processing.

{
  "dateTime": "2019-02-28T00:47:44.819Z",
  "type": "click",
  "ip": "93.184.216.34",
  "headers": {
    "host": "localhost:3000",
    "connection": "keep-alive",
    "upgrade-insecure-requests": "1",
    "user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/72.0.3626.109 Safari/537.36",
    "accept": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8",
    "accept-encoding": "gzip, deflate, br",
    "accept-language": "en-US,en;q=0.9"
  },
  "data": {
    "url": "http:https://example.com",
    "key1": "value1",
    "key2": "value2"
  }
}

Run the server:

node ./src/server.js [port]

Default port is 3000.

For open tracking, insert an image into your email and point it to:

http:https://yourserver/o?key1=value1&key2=value2

For click tracking, change the links in your email to:

http:https://yourserver/c?url=<actualurl>&key1=value1&key2=value2

The docker image writes the output to the file specified as the first argument:

docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 -v ./log:/var/log/traq soheilpro/traq /var/log/traq/traq.log
