Overview
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WHAT IS UMAMI
Umami is an open-source, privacy-friendly, self-hosted web analytics platform - a lightweight alternative to Google Analytics and Plausible. It is a Next.js + Node 22 application backed by PostgreSQL 15. It tracks pageviews, sessions, events, referrers, devices, and custom events without setting cookies and without storing personal data, which removes the need for cookie consent banners on most jurisdictions (GDPR, CCPA, PECR). Owners manage multiple sites in one dashboard, share read-only public pages, define custom event tracking, build their own dashboards via Boards, and capture optional session replay. Integrates with any website by pasting a small JavaScript snippet into the - no SDK, no build step, no third-party tracking pixel. Persists pageviews, sessions, events, and dashboards in PostgreSQL 15. MIT license, no vendor lock-in. Self-hosting puts your visitor data entirely under your control, eliminates per-pageview SaaS pricing, and keeps every event on infrastructure you own.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- Seeded admin:umami credential rotated to a random 24-character password at first boot - written to /root/umami-credentials.txt, the rotation verified to no longer authenticate before the AMI accepts traffic
- Umami app bound to 127.0.0.1:3000 only - reachable through the Nginx reverse proxy with TLS, never directly exposed on the host network
- PostgreSQL 15 inside the Docker compose bridge - no host port mapping, never reachable on 0.0.0.0:5432
- Per-instance PostgreSQL password and APP_SECRET generated at first boot - never baked into the AMI
- Nginx reverse proxy with TLS, HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect, hardened cipher suite, security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy)
- UFW firewall pre-configured - only TCP 22, 80, 443 exposed
- fail2ban, AppArmor
- CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
- CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
- auditd, SSH hardening, kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance artifacts:
- SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
- CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
- CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md
Highlights
- Umami security baked in: the upstream-seeded admin:umami credential is rotated to a random 24-character password at first boot via the official Umami password API, the app is bound to 127.0.0.1 and reachable only through Nginx with TLS, PostgreSQL lives entirely inside the Docker compose bridge - unlike bare Umami AMIs that ship with the default admin:umami credential active, the Next.js port exposed on 0.0.0.0:3000, and PostgreSQL reachable on the host network.
- CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
- Cookieless, privacy-friendly web analytics on infrastructure you own: pageviews, sessions, events, referrers, devices, custom events, Boards dashboards, and public share pages. MIT license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in, ever.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
- Launch instance (t3.small recommended)
- Open Security Group - allow TCP 443 from your IP
- SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
- Read credentials: sudo cat /root/umami-credentials.txt
- Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning
- Log in as username "admin" with the password from the credentials file
- Add a website: Settings -> Websites -> Add - then copy the tracking <script> snippet
- Paste the <script> snippet into the <head> of the website you want to track
The admin username is "admin"; the password is a random 24-character string generated at first boot. Credentials are saved to /root/umami-credentials.txt at first boot (mode 0600). Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed certificate for production use: sudo certbot --nginx -d YOUR_DOMAIN
