Three bugs in src/tracker/index.js, all empirically reproduced.
1. handleClicks() missed clicks on container elements: closest('a,button')
could not find a non-anchor ancestor with data-umami-event, so a click on
any descendant of <div data-umami-event=...> went untracked. Reworked to
closest([data-umami-event]) so any annotated ancestor matches.
2. handlePush() called new URL(url, location.href) outside normalize()'s
try/catch, so a host page calling history.pushState({}, '', invalidUrl)
would have umami's wrapper throw a TypeError into the host's router.
normalize(url) already handles base resolution and catches parse errors.
3. The history hook ran the umami callback BEFORE native pushState, so a
failed native call (SecurityError on invalid URL, etc.) would still mutate
currentUrl/currentRef and schedule a phantom pageview. Run native first;
if it throws, the callback never fires and tracker state stays consistent.
Bug 2 verified: 4/10 representative click scenarios missed before
(span inside div, deep span inside div, a with no href, button inside a),
all 10/10 tracked after.
Bug 1+3 verified: pushState({}, '', invalidUrl) now leaves tracker state
unchanged (currentUrl unchanged, no phantom pageview).

🚀 Getting Started
A detailed getting started guide can be found at umami.is/docs.
🛠 Installing from Source
Requirements
- A server with Node.js version 18.18+.
- A PostgreSQL database version v12.14+.
Get the source code and install packages
git clone https://github.com/umami-software/umami.git
cd umami
pnpm install
Configure Umami
Create an .env file with the following:
DATABASE_URL=connection-url
The connection URL format:
postgresql://username:mypassword@localhost:5432/mydb
Build the Application
pnpm run build
The build step will create tables in your database if you are installing for the first time. It will also create a login user with username admin and password umami.
Start the Application
pnpm run start
By default, this will launch the application on http://localhost:3000. You will need to either proxy requests from your web server or change the port to serve the application directly.
🐳 Installing with Docker
Umami provides Docker images as well as a Docker compose file for easy deployment.
Docker image:
docker pull docker.umami.is/umami-software/umami:latest
Docker compose (Runs Umami with a PostgreSQL database):
docker compose up -d
🔄 Getting Updates
To get the latest features, simply do a pull, install any new dependencies, and rebuild:
git pull
pnpm install
pnpm build
To update the Docker image, simply pull the new images and rebuild:
