Overview
This AMI runs Umami, the open-source web analytics application, with a PostgreSQL 17 database on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The container images are pinned to Umami 3.4.1 and PostgreSQL 17.11 and baked into the AMI, so first start does not depend on a registry. Umami is an independent project and Perimattic is not affiliated with it.
Why Umami?
Umami is a simpler, privacy-focused alternative to hosted analytics services. You add a small tracking script to your sites and get page views, visitors, referrers, events, funnels and reports in a dashboard that runs on a server you own, so the data stays with you.
What Perimattic adds
Pinned, tested versions: Umami and PostgreSQL are fixed to exact tags, not 'latest', so a rebuild never changes the application behind your back.
No default login: Umami ships with a built-in admin account (user admin, password umami). During first-login setup this AMI generates a random 24-character password on your server, changes the admin password through Umami's own API, and checks that the default password no longer works, all before the site is published. Umami has no public sign-up page. The signing secret is generated per instance, and Umami's telemetry and update check are switched off. There are no default or shared credentials in the image.
What is public by design: Umami's tracking script and its collection endpoint must be reachable by your visitors' browsers, so they are open. Dashboards, reports, websites and users require a login. A report you choose to share with a public link is readable by anyone who has the link.
HTTPS: Apache is configured as a reverse proxy and a free Let's Encrypt certificate is requested for your domain with certbot. Umami listens only on the loopback interface and PostgreSQL only inside the Docker network.
Patched base: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS built through an automated EC2 Image Builder pipeline, with security updates applied at build time.
Licence
Umami is released under the MIT License (the LICENSE file at v3.4.1). PostgreSQL is released under the PostgreSQL License.
Getting Started Launch the AMI and open ports 22, 80 and 443 in the security group SSH in and answer the setup prompts (domain and admin email) Open https://your-domain and sign in as admin with the password printed at the end of setup Add a website under Settings > Websites and paste the tracking snippet into your site
A domain name with an A record pointing at the instance is required, because the site is served over HTTPS. Umami and PostgreSQL together use about 400 MB of memory, so a t3.small (2 GB) is a good starting size; choose a larger size for high-traffic sites.
This AMI is built and supported by Perimattic.

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.
Version release notes
Initial release.
- Application: Umami 3.4.1 (container image pinned, baked into the AMI).
- Base: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully patched at build time, built by an automated EC2 Image Builder pipeline.
- TLS: Apache reverse proxy with a Let's Encrypt certificate requested by certbot at first login.
- Credentials are generated on the instance at first login; none are present in the image.
- Umami's default admin login (admin / umami) is replaced during first-login setup with a generated 24-character password, and setup verifies that the default no longer works before the site is published. The tracking script and collection endpoint stay public, as Umami requires.
- Application: Umami 3.4.1 (MIT) with PostgreSQL 17.11 (both pinned). Telemetry and update checks are off; the signing secret is generated per instance.
- Database: reachable only inside the Docker network.
Additional details
Usage instructions
-
Launch an Instance
From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe and then Continue to Configuration to launch the AMI.
-
Choose the Recommended Instance Type
t3.small (2 GB of memory) is the recommended starting size: Umami and PostgreSQL together use about 400 MB. Choose t3.medium or larger for high-traffic sites.
-
Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:
- 22 (SSH) - terminal access for setup
- 80 (HTTP) - needed to validate your domain for the TLS certificate
- 443 (HTTPS) - access to Umami
-
Point a domain at the instance
Create a DNS A record (for example analytics.example.com) pointing to the instance's public IP before you log in.
-
Connect to the Instance
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
-
First-Login Setup
The first SSH login runs a guided setup:
- Prompts for your domain and admin email and checks the DNS A record
- Generates a random 24-character admin password, database password and signing secret on your server
- Starts Umami and PostgreSQL, replaces Umami's default admin password (admin / umami) through its API and checks that the default no longer works
- Configures Apache as an HTTPS reverse proxy and requests a Let's Encrypt certificate
- Prints the URL and the admin credentials; they are also stored in /opt/app/access.txt (root only)
If a step fails, fix the problem shown and log in again: the setup resumes where it stopped.
-
Access Umami
Open https://<your-domain> and sign in as admin with the generated password (view it again with: sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt). Add your site under Settings > Websites and paste the tracking snippet Umami shows into your pages.
-
Credentials
Generated on your server, never shared between customers. View them again with:
sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt
-
Manage the Services
cd /opt/app sudo docker compose ps sudo docker compose restart
The tracking script (/script.js) and the collection endpoint (/api/send) are public by design; everything else needs a login. Add users from Settings > Users: there is no public sign-up. Data is kept in /opt/app/postgres; back it up or snapshot the volume before upgrades.
