Piwik is the leading open-source analytics platform that gives you more than just powerful analytics:
- Free open-source software
- 100% data ownership
- User privacy protection
- User-centric insights
- Customisable and extensible
In keeping with a 'pure' micro-services approach, this image runs a Piwik service only (in the form of FastCGI). Because of that it must be used with companion containers which provide a database for data storage and HTTP to FastCGI proxy/translation services for the user interface.
You can run the Piwik container and service like so:
docker run -d --link some-mysql:db piwik
This assumes you've already launched a suitable MySQL or MariaDB database container.
You'll now need to use a suitable reverse proxy to access the user interface; which is available on TCP port 9000. Nginx provides the necessary functions for translation between HTTP and FastCGI and you can find a suitable configuration file here.
To save time putting together all these parts, you might find it easier if you use the docker-compose setup detailed at IndieHosters/piwik.
Once you're up and running, you'll arrive at the configuration wizard page. If you're using the compose file, at the Database Setup
step, please enter the following:
- Database Server:
db
- Login:
root
- Password: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
- Database Name: piwik (or you can choose)
And leave the rest as default.
Then you can continue the installation with the super user.
