How to Initialize PostgreSQL DB for Umami⚓

Summary⚓

This will be a quick article on how to initialize a PostgreSQL Database running in Docker for Umami. Since the database exists within a Docker container, the command will need to be run from within the Docker container.

Note

This article assumes Umami is already installed with Docker. Instructions on how to do this can be found here

How-To⚓

In order to run the command, do the following:

  • Log into Orchestrator (Portainer)
  • Open the Containers section
  • Open the Umami DB (PostgreSQL) container and access the Console
  • Once the console loads, run the following command:
psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U umami -d umami -f /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/schema.postgresql.sql

This will automatically populate the database with the proper schema required to run Umami.
