Umami

Umami is a simple, fast, privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics.

🚀 Getting Started

A detailed getting started guide can be found at 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:

`1`	`DATABASE_URL=connection-url`

The connection URL format:

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

Build the Application

`1`	`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

`1`	`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:

`1`	`docker compose up -d`

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

`1`	`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.
