Deploy Umami on CloudStation Without Managing Servers

What is Umami? Umami is an open-source, privacy-focused web analytics platform and a self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics. It shows traffic, referrers, campaigns, events, and conversions in one clean dashboard. According to its documentation, Umami does not use cookies in its tracking code, does not collect personally identifiable information, and anonymizes the data it collects.

Deploy Umami on CloudStation when you want your own analytics without setting up Docker, a database server, a reverse proxy, or SSL by hand. This template ships Umami 3.4.0 with a dedicated PostgreSQL 16 database on persistent storage, so your analytics history is kept across restarts and redeploys. Umami's telemetry is disabled.

⚠️ Before you start: Your login username is admin. Umami's well-known default password is replaced on first boot with a unique password generated for each deployment and stored in the service's environment variables as ADMIN_PASSWORD. The default admin/umami login does not work on this template.

Best For and Not Best For

Best for: startups, agencies, developers, and content sites that want clear website analytics without cookies, with the data stored in their own database. It is a strong fit for teams that track several websites and want to share dashboards with clients.
Not best for: teams that need Google Ads integration, cross-site advertising audiences, or tracking of individual people across websites. Umami is built not to do those things.

Umami vs Alternatives

Umami vs Matomo: Choose Umami when you want a lighter, modern dashboard that is quick to learn, rather than a large feature set.

Why Deploy Umami on CloudStation?

Database included: The template deploys a dedicated PostgreSQL 16 database and connects Umami to it for you.
No default password risk: The public admin/umami login is replaced on first boot with a unique password.
Data that persists: The database sits on a 10GB persistent volume, so analytics history survives restarts and redeploys.
