Tianji Insight Hub - Analytics & Uptime

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

## Tianji Insight Hub - All-in-One Analytics, Monitoring and Status Pages

Tianji is an open-source, self-hosted insight hub that consolidates website analytics, uptime and status monitoring, server telemetry, and public status pages into a single real-time dashboard. Instead of paying for separate SaaS subscriptions for analytics, uptime checks, and status pages - or spending hours assembling a Node.js runtime, PostgreSQL database, and reverse proxy by hand - this AMI delivers a fully hardened, production-ready Tianji deployment within minutes of launch.

### Who Is This For?

This product is built for small DevOps teams at SaaS companies, solo founders managing multiple projects, and agencies monitoring client sites who need consolidated observability without sending data to third-party services. If you currently juggle separate tools for analytics, uptime monitoring, and incident status communication, Tianji replaces that fragmented stack with one self-hosted dashboard you fully control.

### Why This AMI Instead of Alternatives?

• vs. SaaS analytics and monitoring tools (e.g., hosted analytics, uptime services, hosted status pages): You retain full data ownership on your own infrastructure, avoid per-seat or per-monitor pricing that scales unpredictably, and consolidate three or more subscriptions into one deployment.
• vs. Docker Compose self-installs: No container orchestration to manage, no manual environment variable configuration, no reverse-proxy setup. The AMI boots ready to use with security hardening already applied.
• vs. Community AMIs with shared credentials: Every instance generates unique passwords and secrets on first boot. No two deployments share a credential, and open registration is disabled by default.

### Example Scenario

A SaaS startup monitoring 20 customer-facing endpoints, collecting privacy-friendly analytics across 3 marketing sites, and publishing a public status page for its users can run all of this from a single Tianji instance. When an endpoint goes down, the built-in notification channels alert the on-call engineer while the status page updates automatically - no context-switching between tools.

### Application Stack

The Tianji Node.js server runs as a dedicated unprivileged system user bound to the loopback interface, reverse-proxied behind nginx on port 80 with WebSocket support for the real-time dashboard. PostgreSQL provides durable state. The database tier and the Tianji application tree each live on their own dedicated, independently resizable EBS data disk - separated from the OS disk - so data survives instance replacement and storage can be scaled without downtime.

### Secure First Boot

On every first boot, a one-shot service:

• Generates a fresh PostgreSQL password, signing secret, and administrator password unique to that instance
• Applies the new administrator password before the dashboard is exposed
• Keeps open registration disabled
• Seeds a demo website and monitor so the dashboard is populated immediately
• Writes credentials to a file only the root user can read

No shared or default password ever ships in the image. There is no known default administrator login.

### One Dashboard For Everything

Privacy-friendly website analytics, HTTP/TCP/ping uptime monitors, server telemetry reporting, and public status pages are all built in. Add a website to collect analytics, add a monitor to watch an endpoint, configure notification channels for alerts, publish a status page for your users, and see it all on one real-time dashboard.

### Ready To Use

Browse to the instance on port 80, sign in with the generated administrator credentials (found in the root-only credentials file), and start adding sites and monitors. systemd manages Tianji, nginx, and PostgreSQL for automatic restarts and clean logging. The operating system is fully patched at build time and receives unattended security updates.

### 24/7 cloudimg Support Included

Expert technical support by email and live chat covers deployment, website analytics setup, uptime and status monitor configuration, status pages, notification channels, server telemetry, version upgrades, performance tuning, and PostgreSQL database administration.
