Deploy and Host Umami Analytics with PostgreSQL & 2FA on Railway

Website analytics with Postgres and generated app and 2FA encryption keys.

About Hosting Umami Analytics with PostgreSQL & 2FA

Deploying this template creates Postgres, Umami in your Railway project. The application receives an HTTPS domain automatically. Database and Redis services, when included, use private networking and generated credentials. Persistent data is stored on the included volumes or object storage, so application redeploys do not discard it.

Why Deploy Umami Analytics with PostgreSQL & 2FA on Railway

Official Umami container plus a private PostgreSQL database.
Generated application secret and dedicated 64-character hex key for 2FA.
Automatic HTTPS domain and a heartbeat health check.

Common Use Cases

Measure website visits and traffic sources.
Compare campaigns and custom conversion events.
Give a team control of its own analytics database.

Included services: Postgres, Umami.
1 persistent volume(s), provisioned by this template.
External integrations, mail delivery and your own business data are configured after installation as needed.

Enable two-factor authentication in your profile.
Add your website and install the tracking script shown by Umami.

Operations

PostgreSQL holds the analytics and account data. Back it up and retain both APP_SECRET and TWO_FACTOR_ENCRYPTION_KEY before upgrades. A tracking installation on your website is still required; deploying this template does not add analytics to other sites automatically.

Images are pinned to verified upstream image digests captured on 2026-10-17. Review upstream release notes, back up persistent data and update the image deliberately when upgrading. Railway charges the deployer for running services, storage and network usage.
