Frequently asked questions
Why is PostgreSQL bundled?
Umami stores all analytics data in a SQL database. This template pairs it with a managed Vessl PostgreSQL service so your history is durable and isolated from the app container.
Do I need a cookie-consent banner?
Umami doesn't use cookies or collect personally identifiable information, so in most jurisdictions you don't need a consent banner. Always confirm against your local regulations.
What are the default credentials?
The default login is admin / umami. Change the password from the dashboard immediately after your first sign-in.
