README

Some extra cli commands to help with maintaining Matomo. Also providing an phpinfo page in the admin part. Introducing new console commands:

• archive:list
• config:get
• database:backup
• database:create
• database:drop
• database:import
• logger:delete
• logger:show
• matomo:install
• segment:admin
• segment:list
• site:add
• site:delete
• site:list
• site:url
• visits:get
• customdimensions:configure-new-dimension

Background

The main reason to doing this plugin was to get automatic installs to work with Matomo, including automatic updates - and version controlled deliveries with configuration in json or yaml.

Known bugs

Adding a site as part of matomo:install is currently broken, but you could just after the command run the site:add command:

./console site:add --name=Foo --urls=https://foo.bar

Dependencies

Sine version 4.1.0-beta1 we are dependent on PHP 8.1

On host:

• mysql-client or mariadb-client (for database tasks)
• PHP json extension

In composer.json (Matomo root):

From version 4.1.0-beta1:

• composer require symfony/yaml:~2.6.0 (moves it from dev)
• composer require symfony/process:^5.4

Earlier versions:

• composer require symfony/yaml:~2.6.0 (moves it from dev)
• composer require symfony/process:^3.4

Install

Git clone the plugin into your plugins folder:

git clone https://github.com/digitalist-se/extratools.git ExtraTools

Config

Activate ExtraTools - in UI, or better - in the console:

console plugin:activate ExtraTools

Set up a db backup path, use the console (use the path you desire):

./console config:set 'ExtraTools.db_backup_path="/var/www/html/tmp"'

Or add it manually to config.ini.php:

[ExtraTools]
db_backup_path = "/var/www/html/tmp"

Commands

archive:list

Gets al list of ongoing or scheduled core archivers, if such exist.

config:get

Gets a section config. @todo - make this more like config:set - so you have more options.

database:backup

Backups the db.

database:create

Creates the db defined i config.ini.php. Adding the --force flag stops the command for asking questions.

database:drop

Drops the db defined i config.ini.php - backup first if needed. Adding the --force flag stops the command for asking questions.

database:import

Imports database dump to database defined in config.ini.php, so if you already have a installation - it overwrites it.

logger:delete

Removes logging entries from the DB, that is the internal logging in Matomo, not visits on sites.

logger:show

Show logging and query entries of logs from the database, output could be exported to CSV.

matomo:install

To use matomo:install, you need ExtraTools to always be enabled, add always_load_commands_from_plugin=ExtraTools to common.config.ini.php.

Here is how we do it in ad docker image build:

    echo "[General]" > /var/www/html/config/common.config.ini.php; \
    echo "always_load_commands_from_plugin=ExtraTools" >> /var/www/html/config/common.config.ini.php; \

Installs Matamo. Wipes the current installation - as default it uses settings in your config.ini.php file - but all values could be overridden with arguments or environment variables.

If you have a license for Matomo Premium plugins, set the environment variable MATOMO_LICENSE with the correct license token. The environment variable is set as a normal environment variable, in shell using export, in a docker-compose file, the environment array etc. If the variable is set, Matomo will have the license key set on install.

segment:admin

Administration of segments, only options right now is to delete or activate a segment, a deleted segment could later be activated again.

segment:list

List all segments, with ID, definition, date created and latest updated.

site:add

Adds a new site to track.

site:delete

Deletes a site with ID provided.

site:list

List sites, with the optional format argument - supported output is text(default), json and yaml.

site:url

Adds one or more URLs to a site.

visits:get

Get all archived visits, for one site or all. For a segment or all segments, for today, or another day etc.

customdimensions:configure-new-dimension

Configure a new custom dimension. BETA.

Requirements

Matomo needs a MySQL/MariaDB host, with a user setup that is allowed to drop that db. The first user is created as a super user and it is need to have one to set up Matomo. If you do not add values in environment variables or options to matomo:install command, it will use the defaults for the user - so important that you change that users password after install. Matomo also creates a first site to track, this also has default values that you could override with environment variables or options.

You could also use a json-file for configuration - like all the above mentioned - and for installing plugins. An example json-file could be found in the docs folder for this plugin.

Environment variables

Supported default environment variables from the official Matomo docker container:

MATOMO_DATABASE_HOST
MATOMO_DATABASE_PORT
MATOMO_DATABASE_TABLES_PREFIX
MATOMO_DATABASE_USERNAME
MATOMO_DATABASE_PASSWORD
MATOMO_DATABASE_DBNAME
MATOMO_DATABASE_ADAPTER

These could be overridden with (historical reasons):

MATOMO_DB_HOST
MATOMO_DB_PREFIX
MATOMO_DB_USERNAME
MATOMO_DB_PASSWORD
MATOMO_DB_NAME

Other environment variables:

MATOMO_FIRST_USER_NAME
MATOMO_FIRST_USER_EMAIL
MATOMO_FIRST_USER_PASSWORD

MATOMO_FIRST_SITE_NAME
MATOMO_FIRST_SITE_URL

MATOMO_LOG_TIMESTAMP (1)

Installation preparation

If you have a config.ini.php in the config dir - delete it. Run:

console plugin:activate ExtraTools

Then follow one of the Examples below.

Example install 1 (recommended)

console matomo:install --install-file=install.json

Example install 2

console matomo:install --db-username=myuser --db-pass=password \
  --db-host=localhost --db-port=3306 --db-name=matomo --first-site-name=Foo \
  --first-site-url=https//foo.bar --first-user='Mr Foo Bar' \
  --first-user-email=[e-mail] --first-user-pass=secret

Example install 3

Using environment variables, docker-compose.yml example.

environment:
      - MATOMO_DB_USERNAME=myuser
      - MATOMO_DB_PASSWORD=secret
      - MATOMO_DB_HOST=mysql
      - MATOMO_DB_PORT=3306
      - MATOMO_DB_NAME=matomo
      - MATOMO_FIRST_USER_NAME=Mr Foo Bar
      - MATOMO_FIRST_USER_EMAIL=[e-mail]
      - MATOMO_FIRST_USER_PASSWORD=secret
      - MATOMO_FIRST_SITE_NAME=Foo
      - MATOMO_FIRST_SITE_URL=https://foo.bar

Order of values

Highest number = takes over. If you have you mysql server settings in environment variables and provide the option --db-username=myuser, the latter is used for the db username.

1. config.ini.php (created when you install the first time)
2. Environment variable
3. Option (matomo:install --db-username=myuser)
4. File overrides (matom-install --install-file=install.json)

CAUTION!

• matamo:install wipes your current installation.
• database:drop - as it says - drops the entire db, make a backup first if you want to save you data, and check if it's ok.
• database:import - writes over your current database.
• site:delete - really deletes a site you have setup in Matomo.

This plugin comes with no guarantees. But it's free and open source. So, let's make it better!

Version supported

This is tested from version 3.8.1, and should work with the latest stable.

Thank you!

This plugin is based on work done by Ben Evans in https://github.com/nebev/piwik-cli-setup, and also reusing code in Matomo core.
