setting up Matomo
Solved

@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.

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

@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

@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.

@jac done

@jac Yes, this probably helps
-
@jac Now re-add the subdomain

@jac “Requesting a certificate for stats.stockportcounty.fans, www.stats.stockportcounty.fans from Let’s Encrypt …”
that will be interesting…
