Website analytics

We are using Umami, a simple, fast, privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics for our website tracking.

Getting started

A detailed getting started guide can be found at https://umami.is/docs/

Installing from source

Requirements

• A server with Node.js version 18.18 or newer
• A database. Umami supports PostgreSQL (minimum v12.14) databases.

Get the source code and install packages

git clone https://github.com/umami-software/umami.git
cd umami
pnpm install

Configure umami

Create an .env file with the following

DATABASE_URL=connection-url

The connection url is in the following format:

postgresql://username:mypassword@localhost:5432/mydb

Build the application

pnpm run build

The build step will create tables in your database if you are installing for the first time. It will also create a login user with username admin and password umami.

Start the application

pnpm run start

By default, this will launch the application on http://localhost:3000. You will need to either proxy requests from your web server or change the port to serve the application directly.

Installing with Docker

To build the umami container and start up a Postgres database, run:

docker compose up -d

Alternatively, to pull just the Umami Docker image with PostgreSQL support:

docker pull docker.umami.is/umami-software/umami:latest

---

🔄 Getting Updates

Warning

If you are updating from Umami V2, image "postgresql-latest" is deprecated. You must change it to "latest". e.g., rename docker.umami.is/umami-software/umami:postgresql-latest to docker.umami.is/umami-software/umami:latest.

To get the latest features, simply do a pull, install any new dependencies, and rebuild:

git pull
pnpm install
pnpm run build

To update the Docker image, simply pull the new images and rebuild:

docker compose pull
docker compose up --force-recreate -d
