Matomo

Below is a guide on how to deploy Matomo, a powerful web analytics platform, on Akash Network.

Step 1: Install Prerequisites

Before deploying, ensure you have:

1. Akash CLI: Installed and configured.
2. Account Balance: Sufficient AKT tokens in your wallet.
3. Docker: Installed locally for testing your Matomo deployment.
4. Domain or Static IP: For accessing Matomo after deployment.

Step 2: Prepare the SDL File

Here’s a sample SDL file for deploying Matomo. It uses an Nginx web server and a MySQL-compatible database (MariaDB).

deploy.yaml

---
version: "2.0"

services:
  matomo:
    image: matomo:latest
    env:
      - MATOMO_DATABASE_HOST=mariadb
      - MATOMO_DATABASE_USERNAME=matomo
      - MATOMO_DATABASE_PASSWORD=yourpassword
      - MATOMO_DATABASE_DBNAME=matomo
    expose:
      - port: 80
        as: 80
        to:
          - global: true
    depends_on:
      - mariadb

  mariadb:
    image: mariadb:10.5
    env:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=rootpassword
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=matomo
      - MYSQL_USER=matomo
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=yourpassword
    expose:
      - port: 3306
        as: 3306
        to:
          - service: matomo

profiles:
  compute:
    matomo-profile:
      resources:
        cpu:
          units: 1
        memory:
          size: 512Mi
        storage:
          size: 2Gi
    mariadb-profile:
      resources:
        cpu:
          units: 1
        memory:
          size: 1Gi
        storage:
          size: 5Gi

  placement:
    default:
      attributes:
        region: us-west
      signedBy:
        anyOf:
          - akash1provideraddress...
      pricing:
        matomo-profile:
          denom: uakt
          amount: 100
        mariadb-profile:
          denom: uakt
          amount: 100

deployment:
  matomo:
    profile: matomo-profile
    count: 1
  mariadb:
    profile: mariadb-profile
    count: 1

Step 3: Steps to Deploy

1. Customize the SDL

• Replace yourpassword and rootpassword with secure passwords.
• Update the region under placement if required.
• Adjust pricing values to match your budget.

2. Validate the SDL File

Run the following command to validate the SDL file:

akash deployment sdl validate deploy.yaml

3. Create the Deployment

Create the deployment using:

akash tx deployment create deploy.yaml --from <your_wallet> --chain-id <chain_id> --node <node_url>

4. Bid for Deployment

Wait for providers to submit bids and select a provider:

akash tx market lease create --dseq <deployment_sequence> --oseq 1 --gseq 1 --from <your_wallet>

5. Retrieve Lease Information

After the lease is created, get the lease information:

akash query market lease list --owner <your_address>

6. Access Matomo

Once deployed:

1. Retrieve the service URL or IP using:

   akash provider service-status --provider <provider_address> --dseq <deployment_sequence> --from <your_wallet>

2. Configure your domain (if applicable) to point to the service’s external IP.

3. Visit the URL to complete Matomo setup.

Step 4: Complete the Matomo Setup

1. Navigate to the Matomo web interface using the URL or IP.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up:
   • Database details:
     • Host: mariadb
     • Database: matomo
     • User: matomo
     • Password: Your chosen password.
3. Finish the installation and start using Matomo.

Optional Enhancements

• TLS/SSL: Use tools like Certbot with an Nginx reverse proxy.
• Backup: Set up periodic backups for the database and configuration files.

You have now successfully deployed Matomo on Akash Network!
