Delete old data automatically

[schlagmichdoch]

Another option that I would love is the ability for umami to auto-clear data after a week/month/other timeframe and only keep the recent amount of time. I primarily use umami for its real-time/short-term analytics and have no need for anything longer than that, therefore, would like to save space/database overhead in the long run with something like this.

As this request got buried in another issue that was already merged I'd like to come back to this and open a separate issue for this.

I too am only interested in data from the last 2 month.

I'd appreciate a possibility to automatically truncate all data that's older than a specified time range. This could be a simple cronjob that deletes old data once a day.

This should be implemented as a cron job and is outside the scope of the app. The app has no concept of jobs.

How about add a background worker and expose a config, letting user choose how long the data should be stored?

Another idea would be to create a possibility to delete old data manually and expose that via a umami-cli or a local endpoint so admins can easily create a cronjob for that.
I imagine this to be similar to the current delete all data option (#752)
