Description

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

Overview

Umami is the popular open source, privacy-friendly web analytics platform - a self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics. It gives you the website metrics that matter (page views, visitors, referrers, countries, devices, events and custom reports) on a clean dashboard, without cookies and without collecting or sharing personal data. This image delivers Umami fully installed and configured as a system service with its own local database, so a production ready analytics platform is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Umami 2.20.

Application Stack

Umami is built and run from /opt/umami by an unprivileged service account on Node.js 22 LTS, with a local PostgreSQL database for its data. It listens on the loopback address and an nginx reverse proxy fronts the application on port 80. A systemd service starts Umami on boot and restarts it on failure, with PostgreSQL started first.

Secure By Default

Umami ships with a well known default administrator login. This image instead generates a fresh administrator password, and a fresh secret used to sign authentication tokens, uniquely for your instance on its first boot, and writes the credentials to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.

Ready To Use

Browse to the instance on port 80, sign in as the administrator, add your first website to get a tracking script, and drop that script into your site to start collecting privacy-friendly analytics. The PostgreSQL database lives on a dedicated, independently resizable storage volume kept separate from the operating system disk. Umami is fully self-hosted - your analytics data never leaves your instance.
