Matomo on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Matomo on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

Matomo is the leading open-source web analytics platform and a privacy-respecting alternative to Google Analytics. It gives you 100 percent data ownership, accurate visitor and behaviour reports, real-time analytics, goal and ecommerce tracking, heatmaps and session recordings, and full GDPR controls, all hosted on your own infrastructure. The cloudimg image installs Matomo 5.11.2 on a full LAMP stack (nginx + PHP 8.3-FPM + MariaDB), performs the entire install headlessly at build time, stores the database and configuration on a dedicated Azure data disk, and generates a unique administrator account on the first boot of every VM. Backed by 24/7 expert support.

Privacy-First Analytics

100 percent data ownership with accurate, unsampled reports, real-time analytics, goals and ecommerce tracking, and full GDPR controls - a self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics.

Dedicated Data Disk

The MariaDB data directory and Matomo configuration live on a dedicated, independently resizable Azure data disk mounted at /var/lib/matomo, separate from the OS disk and re-provisioned with every VM.

Secure First Boot

Every VM generates its database password, application salt and a unique administrator account on first boot, written to a root-only file; no shared credentials ship in the image.
