In this tutorial, we will cover the steps required to install Umami on Void Linux.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Start by updating the package repositories on your system with the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Suv
This will ensure that all the packages on your system are up-to-date.
Umami requires Node.js and MySQL/MariaDB to be installed on your system. To install them, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install nodejs mariadb
After the installation is complete, start the MariaDB service with the following command:
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/mariadb /var/service/
Next, create a database and a user for Umami to use. Log in to the MariaDB console with the following command:
sudo mysql -u root
Once you are logged in, create a database, a user, and grant the necessary permissions with the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE umami;
CREATE USER 'umamiuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'umamipassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON umami.* TO 'umamiuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Make sure to replace 'umamiuser' and 'umamipassword' with your desired username and password.
Download the latest release of Umami from their GitHub repository with the following command:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/mikecao/umami/releases/download/v2.10.0/umami-v2.10.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz -o umami.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded archive with the following command:
sudo tar -xzf umami.tar.gz
Move the Umami directory to '/opt':
sudo mv umami /opt/
Copy the example environment variables file with the following command:
sudo cp /opt/umami/.env.example /opt/umami/.env
Open the '.env' file in a text editor and make the following changes:
DATABASE_URL=mysql://umamiuser:umamipassword@localhost:3306/umami
Save the changes and exit the editor.
Start Umami with the following command:
sudo /opt/umami/umami
By default, Umami will listen on port 3000. To access the Umami web interface, open a web browser and navigate to 'http://localhost:3000'.
You have now successfully installed and configured Umami on your Void Linux system. You can now start using Umami to track website analytics.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
