<h1>Hosting</h1>
<p>There are many ways you can get Umami up and running.
All you need is a database (either <a href="https://www.mysql.com/">MySQL</a> or <a href="https://www.postgresql.org/">Postgresql</a>)
and server that can run <a href="https://nodejs.org/">Node.js</a> (10.13 or newer).</p>
<h2>Single server</h2>
<p>In this setup you would have the database and web server running on the same machine. You can optionally run Umami behind
a dedicated web server like <a href="https://www.nginx.com/">Nginx</a> or <a href="https://httpd.apache.org/">Apache</a> and proxy requests to Umami.</p>
<p>You can view the <a href="/docs/running-on-digitalocean">Running on DigitalOcean</a> guide to learn how to set up a server.</p>
<h2>Separate database and web server</h2>
<p>In this setup you have a database running on its own machine that allows remote connections. Your web server is running on a different
machine with Umami installed and connects to the database remotely to store and retrieve data.</p>
<h2>App hosting</h2>
<p>In this setup, you would have an app hosting provider host the Umami app for you. You would still need a database running elsewhere
that the app could connect to. Here are a few app hosting providers that can host Umami. Vercel, Netlify, and Railway both have a free tier available.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://vercel.com/">Vercel</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.netlify.com/">Netlify</a></li>
<li><a href="https://render.com/">Render</a></li>
<li><a href="https://railway.app/">Railway</a></li>
</ul>
<p>For the deployment, the build command is <code>npm run build</code> and the publish directory is <code>.next</code>.</p>
<h2>Managed databases</h2>
<p>A managed database is where the host provides you with a running database that you don't have to install or maintain. Here are some
providers for managed databases.</p>
