🛠 Installing from Source

Requirements

• A server with Node.js version 16.13 or newer
• A database. Umami supports MariaDB (minimum v10.5), MySQL (minimum v8.0) and PostgreSQL (minimum v12.14) databases.

Install Yarn

npm install -g yarn

Get the Source Code and Install Packages

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

Configure Umami

Create an .env file with the following:

DATABASE_URL=connection-url

The connection URL format:

postgresql://username:mypassword@localhost:5432/mydb
mysql://username:mypassword@localhost:3306/mydb

Build the Application

yarn 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

yarn 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:postgresql-latest

Or with MySQL support:

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