Installation

• If needed create a new site in your Piwik/Matomo installation
• Insert Piwik/Matomo site id and url on the cloud admin page (e.g. site id: 1, url: //domain.tld/piwik/)
• If Piwik/Matomo is hosted under a different domain as your cloud you maybe need to use one of two possible proxy methods:

• a2enmod proxy
• Add ProxyPass /piwik/ http://piwik.tld/ to your apache VirtualHost section
