Umami is an open-source, privacy-focused web analytics platform that serves as a lightweight alternative to Google Analytics. It collects essential metrics like page views and referrals without tracking personal data or using cookies, making it GDPR-compliant. The guide walks through installing Umami from source using Node.js and a database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MariaDB), configuring the environment, building the application, and deploying it to production. It also covers using Sevalla's PaaS template for simplified cloud deployment, adding tracking scripts to websites, and maintaining the installation with updates.
