Question: tag-manager (container_xxx.js) in distributed Matomo deployments

[robertgstoehl]

In distributed deployments like 2x tracker behind loadbalancer, webui separeted eg: https://matomo.org/faq/new-to-piwik/faq_134/

how does one keep the generated (and changing) container javascript files in sync? As of now I assume shared storage or file based replication would solve this (but would prefer if this would be handled transparently within Matomo itself ;) )

Thoughts on this?

@robertgstoehl best to ask this in forum https://forum.matomo.org

Created this issue a while ago #81 to fix it through a CDN.

An alternative be to have js folder of Matomo a network folder like EFS or NFS. If you're familiar with PHP, you can write a plugin that is listening to the event TagManager.containerFileChanged like this function ($updatedFilePath) { uploadToCdnOrS3OrSyncFileWithOtherServers($updatedFilePath) }.

Another less ideal way be to eg run ./console tagmanager:regenerate-released-containers every X minutes to regenerate the files if they changed
