Umami as Google Analytics Alternative

Starting from today (11/06/2022), this blog used Umami as web analytics.

In case you don't know it :

Umami is a simple, easy-to-use, self-hosted web analytics solution. The goal is to provide you with a friendlier, privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics and a free, open-sourced alternative to paid solutions

I got inspired to use this because when I visit killedbygoogle.com, a website that lists discontinued Google services, products, devices, and apps a.k.a Google Graveyard 💀. They are using umami.

To start to install Umami, you may check their docs

I use this with Nginx as proxy to serve the application directly :

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }
nginx location block for umami

I may share with yall, this site analytics.
