Canvas LMS VS Umami

I did not realize that Canvas is open source. That's an LMS most people like. You have hosting space and server-side savvy, you could set that up: https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms

Canvas go brrrrrrrr

Also look at Canvas.

github.com/instructure/canvas-lms (745k lines): A popular LMS (learning management system).

No it's not. From a practical standpoint, I'm not even sure how that could work. You would have to require all browsers to be open source AGPL in order to load a web page served by it. By way of analogy it seems the equivalent of requiring the mouse and keyboard firmware to be licensed the same as the operating system.

A real life example is Instructure, which makes Canvas (which is agpl) but has other proprietary services that interact heavily with it. It's never been a problem

Look into Canvas LMS, I would recommend using 8GB RAM and at least 4 vCores. I have used it in the past (`2 years ago) and only had issues with cloning class/course templates.

If you're planning on doing this as business though, bear in mind this is a pretty crowded market. There's already at least one Rails-based LMSes out there (https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms), and dozens in PHP-land.

There is also Canvas.

Are you tired of relying solely on Google Analytics to track your website's performance? Look no further! Introducing Umami , a powerful and privacy-focused alternative that puts you in control of your analytics data. Umami was founded by three brothers, Mike, Brian and Francis Cao as they were frustarted with using Google Analytics, which dominated and still does the industry of analytics despite of privacy concerns. As it is open-source, Umami quickly started being popular open-source project while still respecting privacy of users. My personal opinion, is that Umami is really easy to setup and use, for smaller projects as my personal website it is of great use. It does not many tracking as GA but it really does its job.

For a while now, I've been creating mini web tools to test out ideas or as tiny helpers for myself. I usually publish them on individual subdomains, which might not be the best idea, but I like the concept of a short, easy-to-remember URL. Recently, I discovered that some of these tools actually have a few users, which made me consider adding analytics to them. After a bit of research, I settled on umami. It's a great little privacy-conscious tool with exactly what I need and nothing more.

If you already use Posthog, Web Analytics has been in Public Beta for quite some time.[1]

If I remember correctly, CloudFlare Analytics does not need you to register your domain with them. I personally feel keeping domain registration coupled with your DNS provider is not a good idea.

Plausible[2] has an Open Source self-hostable version but is not so updated in sync with their SaaS version.

Umami[3] is another simple, clean one. And, of course, as many have suggested, Matomo is the other well-established one. If you want to avoid maintaining a hosting routine, a lot do the hosting out of the box these days. PikaPods[4] was good when I tried and played around for a while.

not enough, can confirm, I moved to Umami for ChadNext

Think of metrics that will gather good insights for creating more things for the product later and track them using analytics services like umami or others.

Analytics is something that can easily become a privacy headache. To get around the issues as much as possible, the strategy I've implemented is to self-host the analytics tool Umami (again, via the One click app functionality in CapRover!).

This question is targeted to those who have experience with Umami. I’m wondering if it make sense with a specific configuration.

I've self-hosted Umami and works just fine. Check it out here: https://umami.is/
