What Umami actually does
Umami is a web analytics tool designed to track visitor traffic and page views without relying on invasive tracking cookies. It provides a lightweight alternative to mainstream hosted analytics platforms while keeping data storage entirely under your control. The codebase is distributed under the MIT licence and built with Node.js.
Best fit: It is a suitable option if you need basic traffic metrics for personal or commercial sites and prefer a self-hosted, privacy-respecting setup.
Worth knowing: You will need to manage your own data retention policies and database backups, as historical metrics accumulate over time.
Deployment notes
Containerised deployment via Docker typically requires a persistent storage volume and a separate relational database instance, usually fronted by a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
