5 22 * * * cat /var/opt/deploy/logs/nginx/access.log | /usr/bin/docker run --rm -i -e LANG=$LANG allinurl/goaccess -a -o html --log-format COMBINED - > /var/opt/deploy/www/_site/report.htmlThe command in detail:

cat /var/opt/deploy/logs/nginx/access.log - read the nginx access log
| - pipe the output to the next command
/usr/bin/docker run --rm -i -e LANG=$LANG allinurl/goaccess -a -o html --log-format COMBINED - - run the docker container with the GoAccess image and parse the nginx access log and create a HTML report
> /var/opt/deploy/www/_site/report.html - write the HTML report to the file system
