Consensus Enterprises' Matomo

Consensus Enterprises' Ansible role for provisioning Matomo (formerly known as "Piwik").

Overview

This role does the following:

1. Adds an Nginx site configuration.
2. Gets an HTTPS certificate (if HTTPS support is enabled).
3. Adds a configuration file for the application.
4. Creates and populates the application's database.
5. Installs the Debian package, automatically updating the database if the template is too old.
6. Installs the recommended GeoIP data file, which can be enabled in the application's settings.

Requirements

• A Debian-based OS (e.g. Ubuntu)
• The Nginx Web server
• MySQL (version 5.5 or greater) or MariaDB
• A DNS record pointing to the instance (e.g. matomo.example.com)

We'd be happy to include support for other operating systems, Web servers or anything else. Patches welcome!

Role Variables

See defaults/main.yml for all role variables.
