Installing Umami on Void Linux
In this tutorial, we will cover the steps required to install Umami on Void Linux.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
- A running instance of Void Linux
- Command line access (Terminal or SSH)
- Superuser (root) access rights
Step 1: Update Package Repositories
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.
Step 2: Install Required Dependencies
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/
Step 3: Create MariaDB Database and User
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.
Step 4: Download and Install Umami
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/
Step 5: Configure Umami
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.
Step 6: Start Umami
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'.
