Running on Supabase

Supabase is a open source Firebase alternative built on the Postgres database.

Setup

1. Create a project on Supabase with a given name in a region close to where you will be hosting your Umami project.

2. Get the database connection string from the Settings > Database page, then scroll to the bottom for the Connection Pooling section and copy the Connection string. It should look something like this: postgres://postgres:[YOUR-PASSWORD]@host:6543/postgres.

3. Important: add ?pgbouncer=true to the connection string you just copied.

4. Add DATABASE_URL to your .env file:

   DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:[YOUR-PASSWORD]@host:6543/postgres?pgbouncer=true
   

5. You should now be able to build and start Umami (npm run build followed by npm start).

6. Follow the Getting started guide starting from the Login step and be sure to change the default password.
