Weird JS script in Homarr
Hello!
I am new to Homarr, just getting my hands on a variety of integrations, great work. But one thing come to my attention - weird js file in the sources, and in active instance - script.js
It seems like it gathers a lot of information about my PC and other things. What is it for?

Hi, thanks for the question.
We use the open source analytics tool https://umami.is both on Homarr itself and our documentation.
It's source code is available to the public and much more privacy focused than Google Analytics (and similar alternatives).
We collect this data to determine the priorities of features and bug fixes as some bugs or issues may one be relevant on certain systems or devices.

You can deactivate Analytics here: https://homarr.dev/docs/advanced/configuration/environment-variables#anonymous-analytics
We'll make it easier to do this in a future version but we haven't had the capacity yet to implement a better solution yet.
Let me know if you have further questions

If you wish to specifically know what is being collected, search for the term "Umami" in our code. They should be pretty self explanatory.
Like Mani said, it's mostly infos about homarr that is being collected so we know what we should focus on
