setting up Matomo
Solved
General
-
I’m looking to set up Matomo again on a sub domain, I need to add a sub domain and then make the sub domain not visible to search engines and put a login on the domain.
https://matomo.org/free-software/
Is this still easy to do even with different hosting now?
many thanks
@jac Yes, this is relatively simple, but you’ll need to create the subdomain in Porkbun and have it point to the same IP address as your root site. Web protection simple, as Matomo will require a login to access anyway.
There’s some configuration work to be done in terms of the actual installation, and getting everything working, but happy to help with that.

@jac Fairly accurate I believe - you need to remember that both NodeBB and Matomo will collect stats differently.

Many thanks for the advice mate.
I was just wondering as I’ve actually not needed to add a sub domain since moving to Porkbun.
I seem to remember having to lock the domain to public viewing when with Ionos?
Many thanks.

@jac I think maybe something along the lines of stats.domain.com is suitable?

That was only for the development environment to prevent it from duplicating content that already existed in production.

Yes, that’s fine. You just need to create an A record for that first, then you can create the virtual domain in Virtualmin

It was yes I remember now, fantastic Mark thank for the further instructions. I will do this later if I get on the laptop.

@jac just setting up now…

@jac I see it - you’ll need to create the new subdomain in your Virtualmin instance

@phenomlab logged in to Virtualmin now.
Just looking how to do this.

@jac looks tricky if you don’t know what you’re doing
-
@jac Create virtual server > sub server?
-
@jac I don’t want to post sensitive information but is this correct?
-
@jac Yep, that’s it.

@phenomlab thanks, now to proceed

“Failed to create virtual server : A sub-server cannot have MySQL enabled unless the parent server does”

@jac Yes, that means that MySQL isn’t enabled at the root domain. You’ll need to go to the root domain, and enable that feature for it to work on subdomains.
The reason for it being missing is that you do not require MySQL for NodeBB as it uses MongoDB instead.

@phenomlab Thanks Mark,
I’ll go and locate this now.
