# Matomo {#module-services-matomo}
Matomo is a real-time web analytics application. This module configures
php-fpm as backend for Matomo, optionally configuring an nginx vhost as well.
An automatic setup is not suported by Matomo, so you need to configure Matomo
itself in the browser-based Matomo setup.
## Database Setup {#module-services-matomo-database-setup}
You also need to configure a MariaDB or MySQL database and -user for Matomo
yourself, and enter those credentials in your browser. You can use
passwordless database authentication via the UNIX_SOCKET authentication
plugin with the following SQL commands:
```
# For MariaDB
INSTALL PLUGIN unix_socket SONAME 'auth_socket';
CREATE DATABASE matomo;
CREATE USER 'matomo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH unix_socket;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON matomo.* TO 'matomo'@'localhost';
# For MySQL
INSTALL PLUGIN auth_socket SONAME 'auth_socket.so';
CREATE DATABASE matomo;
CREATE USER 'matomo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH auth_socket;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON matomo.* TO 'matomo'@'localhost';
```
Then fill in `matomo` as database user and database name,
and leave the password field blank. This authentication works by allowing
only the `matomo` unix user to authenticate as the
`matomo` database user (without needing a password), but no
other users. For more information on passwordless login, see
<https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/unix_socket-authentication-plugin/>.
Of course, you can use password based authentication as well, e.g. when the
database is not on the same host.
## Archive Processing {#module-services-matomo-archive-processing}
This module comes with the systemd service
`matomo-archive-processing.service` and a timer that
automatically triggers archive processing every hour. This means that you
can safely
[disable browser triggers for Matomo archiving](
https://matomo.org/docs/setup-auto-archiving/#disable-browser-triggers-for-matomo-archiving-and-limit-matomo-reports-to-updating-every-hour
) at
`Administration > System > General Settings`.
With automatic archive processing, you can now also enable to
[delete old visitor logs](https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/#step-2-delete-old-visitors-logs)
at `Administration > System > Privacy`, but make sure that you run `systemctl start
matomo-archive-processing.service` at least once without errors if
you have already collected data before, so that the reports get archived
before the source data gets deleted.
## Backup {#module-services-matomo-backups}
You only need to take backups of your MySQL database and the
{file}`/var/lib/matomo/config/config.ini.php` file. Use a user
in the `matomo` group or root to access the file. For more
information, see
<https://matomo.org/faq/how-to-install/faq_138/>.
## Issues {#module-services-matomo-issues}
- Matomo will warn you that the JavaScript tracker is not writable. This is
because it's located in the read-only nix store. You can safely ignore
this, unless you need a plugin that needs JavaScript tracker access.
## Using other Web Servers than nginx {#module-services-matomo-other-web-servers}
You can use other web servers by forwarding calls for
{file}`index.php` and {file}`piwik.php` to the
[`services.phpfpm.pools.<name>.socket`](#opt-services.phpfpm.pools._name_.socket)
fastcgi unix socket. You can use
the nginx configuration in the module code as a reference to what else
should be configured.
