How to Install Umami on Alpine Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Umami Analytics, which is a self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics. We will be using the Alpine Linux operating system for this installation.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing Umami, we need to install some dependencies. Run the following command to update the package index and install the dependencies:

apk update && apk add git nodejs npm python3 make g++

Step 2: Clone the Umami Repository

Next, we need to clone the Umami repository from GitHub. Run the following command to do so:

git clone https://github.com/mikecao/umami.git

Step 3: Install Umami

After cloning the repository, navigate into the cloned directory using the cd command and run the following command to install Umami:

npm install

Step 4: Configure Umami

Once Umami has been installed, we need to configure it. Copy the .env.example file to .env and edit it using your preferred text editor:

cp .env.example .env
nano .env

In the .env file, set the following values:

DB_DRIVER=sqlite
DB_NAME=/path/to/umami.sqlite

Replace /path/to/umami.sqlite with the path where you want to store the Umami database.

Step 5: Start Umami

After configuration, we can start Umami using the following command:

npm start

Step 6: Access Umami

Finally, we can access Umami by visiting http://localhost:3000 in a web browser.
