Umami: Own Your Website Analytics
- ipdashc 4y agoThis looks cool, but almost exactly like https://plausible.io/ https://plausible.io/, even (albeit vaguely) right down to the UI...
- tipiirai 4y agoOne option to look for is https://volument.com https://volument.com which focuses on insights
- conradludgate 4y agoIs plausible.io self hostable?
- jeroenhd 4y agoYes: https://plausible.io/self-hosted-web-analytics https://plausible.io/self-hosted-web-analytics I don't know why you'd pick one over the other, I haven't looked that deeply into either. For all I know Umami is a fork of Plausible. If this is better than the commercial Plausible instances then Plausible can copy those features over with ease and vice versa. That's the power of open source!
- ofrzeta 4y agoPlausible is AGPL while Umami is MIT licensed.
- frankiesardo 4y agoCompare this to the self hosting guides on umami where they literally give you a one-click-deploy button. https://umami.is/docs/running-on-heroku https://umami.is/docs/running-on-heroku Umami wins hands down
- fathyb 4y agoI inadvertently clicked on the link. My first thought was "Did Plausible rebrand without telling me?"
- 14u2c 4y agoI believe it's because both products appear to be using https://tailwindui.com/ https://tailwindui.com/

- chrisux 5y agoWhat are you on about? Right above this in their docs, it says: Requirements * A server with Node.js 12 or newer * A database (MySQL or Postgresql) There is no assumption. Node comes with npm installed... Node is required to use this. This can be any OS that has node, no one said anything about linux except you? "OS" Packages is never mentioned, those are obviously node packages.
- Annatar 4y agoGood system administration is not having a zoo of different software management subsystems on any given system, so system administration is consistent and simple. Everything must always be delivered in the native format of the OS software management subsystem; anything else is amateurism, not to mention a system administration AND a system engineering nightmare.
- kabr 4y agoUse the Docker install -- no need to install any packages.
- Annatar 4y agoI refuse to hack. I'm an IT professional, not an amateur, and am actually capable of building my own OS packages. Why would I use Docker when I know how to make nice, clean OS packages?
- Johan-bjareholt 4y ago> Why would I use Docker when I know how to make nice, clean OS packages? For isolating your database from your host OS.

- Theodores 4y agoThis looks super neat. Often I think that analytics are the wrong metrics. In business you want sales, not web click metrics. If you put the customer first all else follows. A simpler analytics does it for me, I will give this a go.
- manachar 4y agoAnalytics measures what you want. If you want sales, then you're also gonna want to evaluate the sales funnel to see where friction in the online sales process can be reduced, and if you're big enough do some fancier things like A/B testing. I will agree that a lot of people look at analytics often far too divorced from their business goals. If you care about sales of X, then you probably shouldn't be too invested in regularly looking at most of the big site level metrics unless you're trying to alter those to improve sales of X.
- thorncorona 4y agoUsed to use this - liked it a lot. Great work on the design :)
- markdown 4y agoWhy did you stop?
- thorncorona 4y agoEOL'd my app.
- leephillips 4y agoI looked at the live demo and it told me that the average visit time for the site was -17s. You can get all this and more with goaccess, without the negative visit times.
- motoxpro 4y agoOr maybe the average was DOWN 17 seconds, hence why it's red. I understand that could be more clear but...
- marcellus23 4y agoThat’s the difference since last week. The actual value is above the label in bold — the difference is in a much smaller red font below.
- leephillips 4y agoNow that you point that out, it’s obvious. Snark retracted.
- tipiirai 4y agoThe benfit with GoAccess is that you don't need the consent banner like you do with JavaScript trackers [1], cookies or not. [1]: https://volument.com/privacy-is-the-future https://volument.com/privacy-is-the-future
- scubbo 4y agoVery timely - I heard about this a few days ago (after having some concerns about using Google Analytics on my blog), and plan to implement it in the next couple of days.
- polalavik 4y agoBeen seeing a lot of web analytics stuff here lately. Just want to shout out https://counter.dev https://counter.dev I use it on my site and can’t recommend it enough.
- aldebran 4y agoAnyone using this and care to provide an honest review? We’re evaluating chucking a paid alternative due to the price (small startup).
- figassis 4y agoI just switched to Umami last week, from Plausible, basically because plausible requires Postgres and Clickhouse db, and I did not want to add any more admin overhead due to Clickhouse, a db I have little experience with. With Umami I only need Postgres.
- XCSme 4y agoDepends on what you're looking for, whether you just need basic stats or more product-focused data. You could also have a look at https://www.uxwizz.com https://www.uxwizz.com
- vmception 4y agoanybody have a free database solution to go with my free netlify instance? otherwise I'll just pay Netlify for their analytics package and forget this ever exists
- pstadler 4y agoElephantSQL has a free tier: https://www.elephantsql.com/ https://www.elephantsql.com/
- ungawatkt 4y agoFly.io does, haven't tried it myself though. Link is for postgres but I think it'll work for just about anything, the free tier is just 3gb of disk space and a small compute node. https://fly.io/docs/reference/postgres/ https://fly.io/docs/reference/postgres/
- kall 4y agoHeroku is the classic free db (and free app hosting). Fly.io is an alternative that also gives you both. On heroku you can create a bunch of free small DBs and apps, and on fly it's 3 services (container or db node) per account I think, but unlike Heroku, your apps won't go to sleep.
- vmception 4y agothat's interesting, fly.io is definitely winning I'd be doing Netlify + Fly.io then Heroku too antiquated in pricing and offerings, their free db addon is too small, but interesting idea about just making a bunch. on the db offering fly.io is very competitive and generous
- kall 4y agoWell, Heroku Postgres is more "managed" than fly who basically just hands you some nice tooling to do it your self. I don't think they set up backup for you. For me personally, Point-In-Time recovery is maybe the most important thing about managed PG. Also worth a mention are the free tiers of the "cloud scale" SQL new kids Planetscale (MySQL/vitess) and CockroachDB (mostly postgres-compatible). Then there is supabase which also includes a postgres DB and AWS where you can run a small RDS instance free for 12 months.
- wheresvic5 4y agoI have been using this for around a year and it has been great. I've been upgrading it regularly and so far nothing broke. I use a local self hosted mysql dB. I did make 1 small change- ad block was blocking the upload being called and I renamed the api so that ublock does not block it anymore :)
