## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Mantecato Analytics on Railway

Mantecato is a lightweight, self-hosted web analytics platform built with Django and PostgreSQL. Track pageviews, sessions, events, and revenue with a simple JavaScript snippet — no cookies, no GDPR consent banners needed.

## About Hosting Mantecato Analytics

Hosting Mantecato on Railway requires two services: a PostgreSQL 16 database and a Python web service running gunicorn behind WhiteNoise for static assets. The app runs migrations automatically before each deploy, creates an initial admin account if configured, and serves traffic on Railway's injected `$PORT`. A health check endpoint confirms both the app and database are reachable. All configuration is via environment variables — no manual setup needed.

## Common Use Cases

- **Website analytics** — Track pageviews, traffic sources, geo, devices, and engagement for one or multiple sites
- **Custom dashboards** — Build configurable analytics dashboards with drag-and-drop widgets
- **Migration from Umami** — Import existing analytics data from a self-click

## Dependencies for Mantecato Analytics Hosting

- PostgreSQL 16
- Python 3.12 with `uv` package manager

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Mantecato GitHub Repository](https://github.com/g-battaglia/mantecato-analytics)
