Matomo - The Web Analytics Platform

Module description

The Matomo Module downloads and installs Matomo (formally Piwiki) it goes ahead and installs Nginx and MariaDB to complete the requirements to run a Matomo server. The module will take care of other OS requirements such as permissions and PHP.

Setup

Beginning with Matomo

By using the classes below, you can install matomo, configure MariaDB/MySQL and Nginx with defaults as listed below :

class { 'matomo': }

class { 'matomo::web::web':
 site_name       => 'matomo.local'
 }

class { 'matomo::mysql::db': }

The classes above will install Matomo with the defaults below

matomo default params

Advanced Usage

All parameters for the Matomo module can be defined within the 3 different classes. See the common usages below for examples.

Install and enable Matomo

The example below specifies the version of Matomo to install (default is 'latest') and the default location of www root for the web server.

class { 'matomo':
 package_manage     => true,
 package_version    => '3.8.1',
 docroot        => '/var/www/html/',
 }

Install and enable MariaDB

class { 'matomo::mysql::db':

  root_password     => 'Crackme_iF_you_can_pleasE',
  matomo_db_user        => 'matomo',
  matomo_db_password    => 'Crackme_iF_you_can_pleasE',
  matomo_db_name        => 'matomo',

}

Install and enable Nginx

class { 'matomo::web::web':

  site_name                            => 'matomo.local',
  listen_port                          => 80,
  www_root                             => "/var/www/html/matomo",
  mode                                 => '0755',
  ssl                                  => false,
  ssl_key                              => undef,
  ssl_cert                             => undef,

 }

Running Nginx with SSL (which you should)

class { 'matomo::web::web':

  site_name                            => 'matomo.local',
  listen_port                          => 80,
  www_root                             => "/var/www/html/matomo",
  mode                                 => '0755',
  ssl                                  => true,
  ssl_key                              => /path/to/the/cert/key,
  ssl_cert                             => /path/to/the/cert,
  ssl_redirect                 => true,
 }

Accessing the Web interface

Once installation is done, Matomo web interface can be accessed using the url to complete setup e.g. matomo.local

Limitations
