getting you up to date would be a very involved process and would honestly be quite challenging to work through over text with someone who is not well versed in this kind of thing, so instead, if you want to add me to your project I would be happy to do my best to get you up and running again.

amazing. Thanks for the offer. How could I do that, to add you there?

you would want to add me as a project member with edit permissions, my email is brodyover@gmail.com

thanks a lot. Will do in the morning if that’s okay 🙏

good with me

.

just checking back in, did you still need help on this?

Hi Brody, thanks for checking back. I will try to set it up from scratch first now, instead of attempting to fix the broken setup. I started to hesitate to invite other users into my account, nothing personal, just because I am not too versatile with how railway works.

fair enough, keep in mind deploying from scratch will start you off with a brand new umami install without any of your domains or analytics

Thanks. I am trying to add it in my same environment, where I got my postgres database, thought i can couple that to the new deployment.

that could further complicate things

yeah, I already said goodbye to my former analytics. This railway-umami-github setup is kinda sketchy and unstable, I find. there are no good tutorials out there and the guide from the umami page changes frequently

i agree, thats why i own the template now, so that it can deploy from an image

which template?

umami

ah

currently I am getting an always crashing deployment, even in a fresh install from the Github fork in a new project … starting to think about ditching umami. it worked so well the first time i set everything up.

my offer to fix that is still open

you would want to deploy the template though, not your github repo

I see. Thanks for your kind offer, I really appreciate it. But I am not so comfortable with inviting people I don’t know into it.
the github repo is a fork from umami, and the guide from umami claims that this is a way (even the "easiest".)

it is far from easiest, that is very outdated, please deploy the umami template, you can throw away the github repo

when I say umami template, do you know what that means?

no, don’t know which template you refer to exactly 🙂

oh, then you really are trying to deploy umami the hard way, just deploy this

Oh, will try it out now and dig through the process.

Thank you so much for all your help and also for staying with me here (I am trying to fix Umami in my after hours between work and sleep, so my responding is a little delayed). Much appreciate your time!

happy to help

there shouldn't be much of a process with that template, just a few clicks and you will have a fully working umami service!

true, looks like it. I was reading your instructions, where it says: "log in and change the default password", where would that be?

when i open the public networking url, it says "Nothing here yet"
umami-production-….up.railway.app

oh wait

now I get the login …

for the postgres database, the following variables are yet unset:

PGHOST
PGPORT

is that supposed to be like that?

yes it's supposed to be like that, please read the templates overview

reason being, railways proxy takes about a minute to register the routes for newly added domains

yeah, I read it. there is nothing stated about these 2 🙂

I see. I’ll check later then, if the data arrives. so far generally it looks good 🙂 clean and tidy Umami interface

One more question, not needing the full description, just curios if it is possible at all to merge the data from my former postgres db into this one?

that's is true, but the notes state that the database is not publicly exposed, so that means the variables used to connect to the database publicly are going of course be empty

yeah very possible, you would need to dump the old database and restore it to your new database

I see, makes sense. (didn’t know what the vars are for, now I know. thanks a lot)

Many many thanks, Brody!

happy to help

Much much appreciated! 🫶

will report back how it goes, expecting to wait a little until I can see myself as the one live visitor in umami 😄

sounds good!

how long does it usually take until I can see some action in Umami, when I am clicking around on the specified domain, after having deployed from your template?

when I check the data for the database, it still shows this

but they are all configured already from your template

they are not configured by the template, please do not use the data tab

are you sure your frontend is sending analytics to the new umami deployment?

ah, I think I oversaw that bit. oh dear. sorry for my sillyness

That was it. Updated the tracking code and now it works again. Thank you so so much for your help and this nice template.

Will dig into dumping my old db and trying to get that into the new one soon. I really appreciate your help, Brody! Have a nice weekend.

happy to help, have a nice weekend as well!
