The software is open source, so the cloud subscription is mostly paying for managed hosting, upgrades, and not touching a server.

# Umami Cloud indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Umami Cloud workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Self-host Umami, install the tracking script, create websites/events, and maintain database backups.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- managed hosting
- upgrades
- reliability
- team/billing convenience
- support

If those capabilities are essential, use Umami instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

They pay because analytics is not worth waking up to fix.
