Why use Bitnami Images?

• Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
• With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
• Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
• All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution.
• All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Docker Content Trust (DCT). You can use DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1 to verify the integrity of the images.
• Bitnami container images are released on a regular basis with the latest distribution packages available.

Why use a non-root container?

Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers in our docs.

Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags in our documentation page.

• 4, 4-debian-11, 4.10.1, 4.10.1-debian-11-r19, latest (4/debian-11/Dockerfile)

Prerequisites

To run this application you need Docker Engine >= 1.10.0. Docker Compose is recommended with a version 1.6.0 or later.

How to get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami Matomo Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry. To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. Find the [list of available versions] (https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/matomo/tags/) in the Docker Hub Registry.

$ docker pull bitnami/matomo:[TAG]

If you wish, you can also build the image youself.

docker build -t bitnami/matomo:latest 'https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-matomo.git#master:4/debian-11'

How to use this image

Matomo requires access to a MySQL database or MariaDB database to store information. It uses our [MariaDB image] (https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mariadb) for the database requirements.

Run the application using Docker Compose

The main folder of this repository contains a functional docker-compose.yml file. Run the application using it as shown below:

$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-matomo/master/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d

Run the application using the Docker Command Line

If you want to run the application manually instead of using docker-compose, these are the basic steps you need to run:

1. Create a new network for the application and the database:

$ docker network create matomo_network

2. Create a volume for MariaDB persistence and create a MariaDB container

$ docker volume create --name mariadb_data
$ docker run -d --name mariadb \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  -e MARIADB_USER=bn_matomo \
  -e MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_matomo \
  --net matomo_network \
  --volume mariadb_data:/bitnami \
  bitnami/mariadb:latest

3. Create volumes for Matomo persistence and launch the container

$ docker volume create --name matomo_data
$ docker run -d --name matomo -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  -e MATOMO_DATABASE_USER=bn_matomo \
  -e MATOMO_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_matomo \
  --net matomo_network \
  --volume matomo_data:/bitnami \
  bitnami/matomo:latest

Then you can access your application at http://your-ip/

Persisting your application

If you remove the container all your data and configurations will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.

For persistence you should mount a volume at the /bitnami path. Additionally you should mount a volume for persistence of the MariaDB data.

The above examples define docker volumes namely mariadb_data and matomo_data. The Matomo application state will persist as long as these volumes are not removed.

To avoid inadvertent removal of these volumes you can mount host directories as data volumes. Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.

Mount host directories as data volumes with Docker Compose

This requires a minor change to the docker-compose.yml file present in this repository:

services:
  mariadb:
  ...
    volumes:
      - '/path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami'
  ...
  matomo:
  ...
    volumes:
      - '/path/to/matomo-persistence:/bitnami'
  ...

NOTE: As this is a non-root container, the mounted files and directories must have the proper permissions for the UID 1001.

Mount host directories as data volumes using the Docker command line

In this case you need to specify the directories to mount on the run command. The process is the same than the one previously shown:

1. Create a network (if it does not exist):

$ docker network create matomo_network

2. Create a MariaDB container with host volume:

$ docker run -d --name mariadb
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  -e MARIADB_USER=bn_matomo \
  -e MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_matomo \
  --net matomo_network \
  --volume /path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami \
  bitnami/mariadb:latest

Note: You need to give the container a name in order to Matomo to resolve the host

3. Create the Matomo container with host volumes:

$ docker run -d --name matomo -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  -e MATOMO_DATABASE_USER=bn_matomo \
  -e MATOMO_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_matomo \
  --net matomo_network \
  --volume /path/to/matomo-persistence:/bitnami \
  bitnami/matomo:latest

Backing up your container

To backup your data, configuration and logs, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Stop the currently running container

$ docker stop matomo

Or using Docker Compose:

$ docker-compose stop matomo

Step 2: Run the backup command

We need to mount two volumes in a container we will use to create the backup: a directory on your host to store the backup in, and the volumes from the container we just stopped so we can access the data.

$ docker run --rm -v /path/to/matomo-backups:/backups --volumes-from matomo busybox \
  cp -a /bitnami/matomo /backups/latest

Restoring a backup

Restoring a backup is as simple as mounting the backup as volumes in the containers.

For the MariaDB database container:

 $ docker run -d --name mariadb \
   ...
-  --volume /path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami/mariadb \
+  --volume /path/to/mariadb-backups/latest:/bitnami/mariadb \
   bitnami/mariadb:latest

For the Matomo container:

 $ docker run -d --name matomo \
   ...
-  --volume /path/to/matomo-persistence:/bitnami/matomo \
+  --volume /path/to/matomo-backups/latest:/bitnami/matomo \
   bitnami/matomo:latest

Upgrading Matomo

Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of MariaDB and Matomo, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. We will cover here the upgrade of the Matomo container. For the MariaDB upgrade you can take a look at https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mariadb/blob/master/README.md#upgrade-this-image

1. Get the updated images:

$ docker pull bitnami/matomo:latest

2. Stop your container

• For docker-compose: $ docker-compose stop matomo
• For manual execution: $ docker stop matomo

3. Take a snapshot of the application state

$ rsync -a /path/to/matomo-persistence /path/to/matomo-persistence.bkp.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H.%M.%S)

Additionally, snapshot the MariaDB data

You can use these snapshots to restore the application state should the upgrade fail.

4. Remove the currently running container

• For docker-compose: $ docker-compose rm -v matomo
• For manual execution: $ docker rm -v matomo

5. Run the new image

• For docker-compose: $ docker-compose up matomo
• For manual execution (mount the directories if needed): docker run --name matomo bitnami/matomo:latest

Customize this image

The Bitnami Matomo Docker image is designed to be extended so it can be used as the base image for your custom web applications.

Extend this image

Before extending this image, please note there are certain configuration settings you can modify using the original image:

• Settings that can be adapted using environment variables. For instance, you can change the ports used by Apache for HTTP and HTTPS, by setting the environment variables APACHE_HTTP_PORT_NUMBER and APACHE_HTTPS_PORT_NUMBER respectively.
• Adding custom virtual hosts.
• Replacing the 'httpd.conf' file.
• Using custom SSL certificates.

If your desired customizations cannot be covered using the methods mentioned above, extend the image. To do so, create your own image using a Dockerfile with the format below:

FROM bitnami/matomo
### Put your customizations below
...

Here is an example of extending the image with the following modifications:

• Install the vim editor
• Modify the Apache configuration file
• Modify the ports used by Apache

FROM bitnami/matomo

### Change user to perform privileged actions
USER 0

### Install 'vim'
RUN install_packages vim

### Enable mod_ratelimit module
RUN sed -i -r 's/#LoadModule ratelimit_module/LoadModule ratelimit_module/' /opt/bitnami/apache/conf/httpd.conf

### Revert to the original non-root user
USER 1001

### Modify the ports used by Apache by default
## It is also possible to change these environment variables at runtime
ENV APACHE_HTTP_PORT_NUMBER=8181
ENV APACHE_HTTPS_PORT_NUMBER=8143
EXPOSE 8181 8143

Based on the extended image, you can use a Docker Compose file like the one below to add other features:

version: '2'
services:
  mariadb:
    image: 'bitnami/mariadb:10.3'
    environment:
      - MARIADB_USER=bn_matomo
      - MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_matomo
      - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
    volumes:
      - 'mariadb_data:/bitnami'
  matomo:
    build: .
    environment:
      - MARIADB_HOST=mariadb
      - MARIADB_PORT_NUMBER=3306
      - MATOMO_DATABASE_USER=bn_matomo
      - MATOMO_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_matomo
      - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
    ports:
      - '80:8181'
      - '443:8143'
    depends_on:
      - mariadb
    volumes:
      - 'matomo_data:/bitnami'
volumes:
  mariadb_data:
    driver: local
  matomo_data:
    driver: local

Notable Changes

3.14.1-debian-10-r82

• The size of the container image has been decreased.
• The configuration logic is now based on Bash scripts in the rootfs/ folder.
• The Matomo container image has been migrated to a "non-root" user approach. Previously the container ran as the root user and the Apache daemon was started as the daemon user. From now on, both the container and the Apache daemon run as user 1001. You can revert this behavior by changing USER 1001 to USER root in the Dockerfile, or user: root in docker-compose.yml. Consequences:
  • The HTTP/HTTPS ports exposed by the container are now 8080/8443 instead of 80/443.
  • Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed when data is persisted using docker or docker-compose. We highly recommend migrating the Matomo site by exporting its content, and importing it on a new Matomo container. Follow the steps in Backing up your container and Restoring a backup to migrate the data between the old and new container.

To upgrade a previous Bitnami Matomo container image, which did not support non-root, the easiest way is to start the new image as a root user and updating the port numbers. Modify your docker-compose.yml file as follows:

       - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
+    user: root
     ports:
-      - '80:80'
-      - '443:443'
+      - '80:8080'
+      - '443:8443'
     volumes:

3.9.1-debian-9-r51 and 3.9.1-ol-7-r62

• This image has been adapted so it's easier to customize. See the Customize this image section for more information.
• The Apache configuration volume (/bitnami/apache) has been deprecated, and support for this feature will be dropped in the near future. Until then, the container will enable the Apache configuration from that volume if it exists. By default, and if the configuration volume does not exist, the configuration files will be regenerated each time the container is created. Users wanting to apply custom Apache configuration files are advised to mount a volume for the configuration at /opt/bitnami/apache/conf, or mount specific configuration files individually.
• The PHP configuration volume (/bitnami/php) has been deprecated, and support for this feature will be dropped in the near future. Until then, the container will enable the PHP configuration from that volume if it exists. By default, and if the configuration volume does not exist, the configuration files will be regenerated each time the container is created. Users wanting to apply custom PHP configuration files are advised to mount a volume for the configuration at /opt/bitnami/php/conf, or mount specific configuration files individually.
• Enabling custom Apache certificates by placing them at /opt/bitnami/apache/certs has been deprecated, and support for this functionality will be dropped in the near future. Users wanting to enable custom certificates are advised to mount their certificate files on top of the preconfigured ones at /certs.
