It was pretty easy to get up and running with Docker Compose: version: '3' services: mysql: image: mysql:8 environment: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root MYSQL_DATABASE: matomo matomo: image: matomo:4 ports: - 4000:80 This lets me in at localhost:4000 and I just enter "mysql" as the DB host, "root" as the username & password and "matomo" as the database name, and it's basically done. Of course, I probably have to point it out or someone else will, that it's a bad idea to be using the MySQL root user, instead of creating a user with the rights that Matomo needs: https://matomo.org/faq/how-to-install/faq_23484/ https://matomo.org/faq/how-to-install/faq_23484/
