Matomo + MariaDB

Matomo is a web analytics platform alternative to Google Analytics, with an important difference: the data is hosted on your own server, so it is not shared with third parties and you control retention.

This Stack installs it with MariaDB.

Services included

In addition to the application, the Stack brings up MariaDB, an nginx that receives traffic on port 80, an automatic backups service and the web file manager.

Getting started

Install the Stack and start it:

bash

docker-deploy-stack --stack php/matomo-mariadb
cd /root/stack/php/matomo-mariadb
docker compose up -d

This is a ready-to-use application: you don’t need to upload any code. Themes, plugins, extensions and files you upload from its admin panel are stored in the Stack and included in automatic backups.
