Traefik Umami Feeder Plugin

A Traefik middleware plugin that sends visits to your Umami instance.

It was created as an alternative to traefik-umami-plugin and inspired by the Plausible Feeder Traefik Plugin.

Introduction

This plugin integrates your Traefik-proxied services with Umami, a simple, fast, privacy-focused analytics solution. It captures basic request information (path, user-agent, referrer, screen size, IP) and forwards it to your Umami instance, enabling server-side analytics.

Key features:

• Stupidly simple to setup, one middleware for all websites possible
• Server-Side Tracking, no JS or Cookies bullshit
• Fast and private

Configuration

Step 1. Add the plugin to Traefik

Declare the plugin in your Traefik static configuration.

experimental:
  plugins:
    umami-feeder:
      moduleName: github.com/astappiev/traefik-umami-feeder
      version: v1.3.0 # Replace with the latest version

Step 2. Configure the middleware

Once the plugin is declared, configure it as a middleware in your Traefik dynamic configuration.

You can specify which websites to track in two ways:

1. Manual: Directly provide a websites map, associating hostnames with their Umami Website IDs.
2. Automatic: Configure the plugin with your Umami API umamiToken, or umamiUsername and umamiPassword. The plugin will then automatically fetch the list of websites and their IDs from your Umami instance.
   • Optionally, use umamiTeamId to scope website retrieval to a specific team.
   • Optionally, enable createNewWebsites to allow the plugin to create new website entries in Umami if they don't already exist.

See the Middleware Options section for detailed configuration options.

http:
  middlewares:
    my-umami-middleware:
      plugin:
        umami-feeder:
          umamiHost: "http://umami:3000" # URL of your Umami instance

          # Option 1: Define the list of websites
          # websites:
          #   "example.com": "d4617504-241c-4797-8eab-5939b367b3ad"

          # Option 2: Use Umami credentials to fetch websites
          umamiUsername: "your-umami-username"
          umamiPassword: "your-umami-password"
          # umamiToken: "your-umami-api-token" # Alternative to username/password

          # Optional: allow creation of new websites in Umami
          createNewWebsites: true

Step 3. Attach the middleware to your routers

Apply the configured middleware to the Traefik routers you want to track with Umami. This is also done in your dynamic configuration.

Remember to use the correct provider namespace (e.g., @file if your middleware is defined in a file, @docker if defined via Docker labels).

Example using Docker labels:

- "traefik.http.routers.whoami.middlewares=my-umami-middleware@file"

Example using a dynamic configuration file (e.g., dynamic_conf.yml):

http:
  routers:
    whoami:
      rule: "Host(`example.com`)"
      middlewares:
        - my-umami-middleware@file

Example using static configuration (e.g., traefik.yml), by attaching the middleware to an entryPoint to apply it globally:

entryPoints:
  web:
    http:
      middlewares:
        - my-umami-middleware@file

Middleware Options

key	default	type	description
disabled	false	bool	Set to true to disable the plugin.
debug	false	bool	Set to true for verbose logging. Useful for troubleshooting as plugins don't inherit Traefik's global log level.
queueSize	1000	int	Maximum number of tracking events to queue before sending to the Umami server.
umamiHost	required	string	URL of your Umami instance, reachable from Traefik (e.g., http://umami:3000).
umamiToken	-	string	Umami API Token for authenticating with your Umami instance. Use this or umamiUsername/umamiPassword. Required for automatic website fetching or creation.
umamiUsername	-	string	Username for Umami authentication. Use this with umamiPassword if not using umamiToken. Required for automatic website fetching or creation.
umamiPassword	-	string	Password for Umami authentication, used in conjunction with umamiUsername.
umamiTeamId	-	string	Optional. If using automatic mode, specifies the Umami Team ID to scope website fetching/creation.
websites	-	map	A map of hostname: umamiWebsiteID. Used for manual website configuration or to override/extend websites fetched in automatic mode.
createNewWebsites	false	bool	If true and using automatic mode, the plugin will attempt to create a new website entry in Umami if the domain is not found.
trackErrors	false	bool	If true, tracks errors (status codes >= 400).
trackAllResources	false	bool	If true, tracks requests for all resources. By default, only requests likely to be page views (e.g., HTML, or no specific extension) are tracked.
trackExtensions	[see sources]	string[]	A list of specific file extensions to track (e.g., [".html", ".php"]).
ignoreUserAgents	[]	string[]	A list of user-agent substrings. Requests with matching user-agents will be ignored (e.g., ["Googlebot", "Uptime-Kuma"]). Matched with strings.Contains.
ignoreURLs	[]	string[]	A list of regular expressions. Requests with URLs matching any of these patterns will be ignored (e.g., ["/health", "https?://[^/]+/health$"]). Matched with regexp.Compile.MatchString.
ignoreIPs	[]	string[]	A list of IP addresses or CIDR ranges to ignore (e.g., ["127.0.0.1", "10.0.0.1/16"]). Matched with netip.ParsePrefix.Contains.
headerIp	X-Real-Ip	string	The HTTP header to inspect for the client's real IP address, typically used when Traefik is behind another proxy.
