How I self hosted Matomo - Google Analytics Alternative

• nginx-proxy-automation

  8 2,616 6.8 Shell

  Automated docker nginx proxy integrated with letsencrypt.

I am using Docker to host Matomo, get Let's Encrypt SSL certificates and run Nginx as a reverse proxy. To make things really easy, we can setup the awesome evertramos/nginx-proxy-automation project. Follow the instructions in the README to setup the containers via Docker. This will automatically create a Docker network called webproxy.

• MatomoAnalytics-docker

  3 799 6.1 Shell

  Official Docker project for Matomo Analytics (by matomo-org)

  

To make things easier I am using Docker Compose to configure multiple containers and run these with a single command. As a starting point for the docker compose configuration I've used the official example docker-compose.yml and tweaked it to work with the Nginx setup above. The configuration will create a "db" container which is a mariadb database and an "app" container which is the Matomo app itself.

  Empowering People Ethically with the leading open source alternative to Google Analytics that gives you full control over your data. Matomo lets you easily collect data from websites & apps and visualise this data and extract insights. Privacy is built-in. Liberating Web Analytics. Star us on Github? +1. And we love Pull Requests!

  

For my personal site and this blog I thought about not having any analytics at all. On the one hand I don't like to be tracked online, I think user's privacy is important. On the other hand I find it really interesting to see how people find my website and how many visits different pages or articles get. I also like to own the collected data and have full access to the data if I want and need to. For these reasons I have chosen Matomo as an analytics solution. Matomo can be set up to not use cookies at all and be completely GDPR compliant.
