Docker Piwik Nginx Image (francoisp/piwik)

maintained by francoisp

This image's scripts are derived from marvambass's Piwik image. It has enough state to be restarteable, and is based straight on the nginx reference image for clarity. It downloads the piwik install from the piwik website so if you build the image you'll get the most recent stable version of piwik.

Using the francoisp/piwik Container

First you need a MySQL Container (the following command would give you one from the plain vanilla mysql )

sudo docker run --name piwik-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=strongMysqlpw -e MYSQL_DATABASE=piwik -e MYSQL_USER=piwik -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=strongPiwikpw -d mysql

Then you can create a container based on this source compiled as an image from dockerhub that --link the myslql one:

sudo docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --name piwik --link piwik-mysql:mysql -e 'PIWIK_MYSQL_USER=piwik' -e 'PIWIK_MYSQL_PASSWORD=strongPiwikpw' -e 'PIWIK_ADMIN_PASSWORD=piwikPASS' francoisp/piwik-nginx

If you need to build the image from source, for example to get the latest piwik archive in the image, you can clone this repo locally, and run

sudo docker build -t youruser/piwik-nginx .
