what AI can build

Self-host Umami, install the tracking script, create websites/events, and maintain database backups.

The software is open source, so the cloud subscription is mostly paying for managed hosting, upgrades, and not touching a server.

Catalog estimate
Build me a self-hosted analytics stack to replace Umami Cloud. Requirements:

- Do not write analytics code. Umami is open source, deploy the real thing: a
  docker-compose.yml with the official umami image + postgres:15, data in a named
  volume. The subscription pays for hosting, so the build is a deployment.
- All secrets in .env: postgres password and Umami APP_SECRET. Umami binds to
  localhost; Caddy reverse-proxies stats.<mydomain> to it with automatic HTTPS.
- backup.sh on a nightly cron: pg_dump to ~/backups/umami-YYYY-MM-DD.sql.gz, keep
  14, with the restore command documented next to it.
- update.sh: pull the new image, restart, and print the release-notes URL so I can
  check for breaking changes before upgrading.
- Add the tracking script tag to my sites and verify pageviews arrive; create one
  custom event as proof the event pipeline works.
- No third-party telemetry; visitor data stays in my postgres.
- Out of scope: modifying Umami itself or building custom dashboards on top. And
  accept the honest cost: uptime, upgrades, and 2am breakage are mine now.
- README: DNS record for the stats subdomain, first-login default credentials, and
  change the admin password immediately.

questions

Can AI replace Umami?

Likely for the core workflow, based on an editorial catalog judgment. This entry is not a verified build yet; use the prompt as a starting point and validate the result against your own acceptance criteria.

How much does Umami cost?

Umami is listed at about $9/month (Basic, checked 2026-07-30), or $108 per year. This is a pricing reference, not evidence of a completed replacement or realized savings.

What do I lose by replacing Umami?

Honestly: managed hosting; upgrades; reliability; team/billing convenience; support. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Umami?

Yes — Umami (The product's own open-source analytics platform.). Using prior art is also a valid exit; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
