Deploy Umami Analytics
Umami is a simple website analytics platform that you can install on your server and take control of usage data across your web properties.
Umami uses the Next.js framework and is easy to deploy to your server using Cleavr without deviating much from their instructions on their readme file on GitHub.
Step 1: Add New SSR App
On a new server, add a new site, selecting Node JS SSR as the app type.
Once the site has been successfully added, go to the site's settings and click the NGINX Config tab.
Since Umami is configured to run on port 3000, we'll need to update the proxy_pass setting to reflect that.
Find the proxy_pass setting and set the port number to 3000.
Note that the port number for the app when you look at the site details will continue to display as the port number Cleavr automatically assigned. This won't impact deploying Umami.
Click Update
Step 2: Add A database
On the same server you added the site, click on the database section to install a new MySQL (or optionally Postgres) database.
Once the database server is installed, add a new database. Remember the database name and database user credentials.
Step 3: Configure Deployment Workflow
In the deployment workflow section, select Complete Setup for the deployment workflow that was created for the site created earlier.
Enter repository
On the Code Repository tab, enter the following:
Version Control Provider: GitHub
Repository: mikecao/umami
Branch: master
Click Update.
You will need a GitHub VC provider account created for this step.
Add env variables
Click on the Environments section and add in the following environment variables:
DATABASE_URL=mysql://<db username>:<db password>@localhost:3306/<db name>
HASH_SALT=<some random string of characters>
Replace the <> pieces above with the appropriate information for your database that you setup earlier as well as a random
hash salt.
Click on Sync.
Create deployment hook
We'll also need to have a command ran to migrate the database tables. We'll use a deployment hook to achieve this.
Select Hooks and add a new hook.
Hook Name: migrate database
Hook:
cd {{ releasePath }}
mysql -u<db username> -p<db password> <dab name> < sql/schema.mysql.sql
Replace the <> accordingly with the database info. Take note that there is no space between -p and your password.
Click Update.
You can optionally choose to run the command via SSH if you wish.
Place the migrate database hook directly following the build assets hook.
Step 4: Deploy!
Once you have everything configured, deploy! 🚀
Select the URL for the site, and then enter the default user credentials:
Username: admin Password: umami
