Arch Linux User Repository

Is it normal, that after every upgrade I have to give http user and/or group access to /etc/webapps/matomo/config.ini.php as the owner is root:root with permissions 770? If I don't do that, nginx can't read the config and when I visit the login page, it starts the installation wizard.

@C0rn3j: thanks, fixed in 3.7.0-1, just released.

The PKGBUILD has the following line - GeoLite2-City.mmdb is provided by geoip2-datbase, which is optdepends.

The geoip2-datbase is a typo, it's missing an 'a'. Caught me off guard when I was copypasting it.

@G4Zz0L1: the situation has now been clarified, and I’ve released 3.6.0-2 with the checksums for the updated matomo-3.6.0.tar.gz{,.asc}.

@G4Zz0L1: they changed matomo-3.6.0.tar.gz yesterday; I’ve filed https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/issues/13380 to follow up what happened. While that happens, feel free to modify the sha256sums in the PKGBUILD yourself.

The sha512sum for matomo-3.6.0.tar.gz is wrong

I apologise for the delay. I’ve now updated it to 3.6.0 which was just released. Note that when you do the database upgrade, you’ll get complaints about file integrity checks having failed; that’s an upstream bug, see https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/issues/13364.

If you’re upgrading from 3.4.0, I recommend caution: it’s a major release of the packaging. There are certain changes in the structure of the packaging, and the build script has been substantially rewritten. One of the important changes is restricting write access where convenient, to harden things up, and making it easy to perform further hardening after that.

I believe I’ve got it all right so that new installations and upgrades alike should work properly, but I don’t have a genuine 3.4.0 installation to upgrade from and am disinclined to do the extra work to get one going, so you lot are all guinea-pigs! Consider something like tar caf matomo-backup.tar.xz /usr/share/webapps/matomo /etc/webapps/matomo for safety.

For more notes on what has changed in the packaging since 3.4.0, see the commit message on ff3f2bdccdeb.

As there hasn't been any new update here for months, I'd like to maintain this package. Matomo is currently whining cause it hasn't been updated. Let's change that. Furthermore I'd like to maintain this package in the future.

I’ve made various changes to this locally, to update it and improve various things about the packaging and functionality.

Could I please be made a maintainer so I can update the package?

should probably use <https://builds.matomo.org/> instead of <https://builds.piwik.org/> for future-proofing ;)
