Hosting umami

The umami service is hosted with vercel, Once you have created the database instance, you can deploy the umami service with click deploy button in the Running on Vercel document.

  1. Fork the https://github.com/mikecao/umami project to your GitHub account.

  2. Create an account on Vercel.

  3. From the dashboard page click Import Project then specify the URL to your fork of the project on GitHub.

  4. Add the required environment variables to your Vercel project. These values are defined in the Configure umami step from Install.

    1. DATABASE_URL: Connection string for your database. This is the only required variable.
    2. TRACKER_SCRIPT_NAME: Allows you to assign a custom name to the tracker script different from the default umami. This is to help you avoid some ad-blockers. I used hugo-ladder on this project.

  5. Enter yarn build && yarn update-db to the BUILD COMMAND, which will migrate the tables of umami to database automatically.

  6. Deploy and visit your application at .vercel.app.

  7. Follow the Getting started guide starting from the Login step and be sure to change the default password.

Of course, if you want to import tables yourself, you can also get the tables from here https://github.com/umami-software/umami/blob/master/sql/schema.postgresql.sql.

umami configuration

After deploying umami in vercel you will get a <deploy-id>.vercel.app address which login with the default account: admin and password: umami.

You can change the default password and Add webiste, enter the Name and Domain, and click enable share URL so that anyone can access the dashboard.

Then you can get data-website-id and src values by click Get tracking code，enter the value to the hugo-ladder configuration params.analytics.umami.website_id , params.analytics.umami.url.
