Matomo is a real-time web analytics application. This module configures
|
|
php-fpm as backend for Matomo, optionally configuring an nginx vhost as well.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
An automatic setup is not suported by Matomo, so you need to configure Matomo
|
|
itself in the browser-based Matomo setup.

<title>Database Setup</title>

<para>
|
|
You also need to configure a MariaDB or MySQL database and -user for Matomo
|
|
yourself, and enter those credentials in your browser. You can use
|
|
passwordless database authentication via the UNIX_SOCKET authentication
|
|
plugin with the following SQL commands:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
# For MariaDB
|
|
INSTALL PLUGIN unix_socket SONAME 'auth_socket';
|
|
CREATE DATABASE matomo;
|
|
CREATE USER 'matomo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH unix_socket;
|
|
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON matomo.* TO 'matomo'@'localhost';
|
|
|
|
# For MySQL
|
|
INSTALL PLUGIN auth_socket SONAME 'auth_socket.so';
|
|
CREATE DATABASE matomo;
|
|
CREATE USER 'matomo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH auth_socket;
|
|
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON matomo.* TO 'matomo'@'localhost';
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
Then fill in <literal>matomo</literal> as database user and database name,
|
|
and leave the password field blank. This authentication works by allowing
|
|
only the <literal>matomo</literal> unix user to authenticate as the
|
|
<literal>matomo</literal> database user (without needing a password), but no
|
|
other users. For more information on passwordless login, see
|
|
<link xlink:href="https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/unix_socket-authentication-plugin/" />.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Of course, you can use password based authentication as well, e.g. when the
|
|
database is not on the same host.

<title>Archive Processing</title>

<para>
|
|
This module comes with the systemd service
|
|
<literal>matomo-archive-processing.service</literal> and a timer that
|
|
automatically triggers archive processing every hour. This means that you
|
|
can safely

With automatic archive processing, you can now also enable to

|
|
matomo-archive-processing.service</literal> at least once without errors if
|
|
you have already collected data before, so that the reports get archived
|
|
before the source data gets deleted.

You only need to take backups of your MySQL database and the

<filename>/var/lib/matomo/config/config.ini.php</filename> file. Use a user
|
|
in the <literal>matomo</literal> group or root to access the file. For more

Matomo will warn you that the JavaScript tracker is not writable. This is
|
|
because it's located in the read-only nix store. You can safely ignore
|
|
this, unless you need a plugin that needs JavaScript tracker access.

You can use other web servers by forwarding calls for

the nginx configuration in the module code as a reference to what else

should be configured.
