Umami is a simple, fast, privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics.
A detailed getting started guide can be found at umami.is/docs.
- A server with Node.js version 18.18 or newer
- A database. Umami supports PostgreSQL (minimum v12.14) databases.
git clone https://github.com/umami-software/umami.git
cd umami
pnpm install
Create an .env file with the following:
DATABASE_URL=connection-url
The connection URL format:
postgresql://username:mypassword@localhost:5432/mydb
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.
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.
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
[!WARNING]
If you are updating from Umami V2, image "postgresql-latest" is deprecated. You must change it to "latest". e.g., renamedocker.umami.is/umami-software/umami:postgresql-latesttodocker.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
