Automated Install?

Hi

I automating the install of Piwik on my server using fabric. See http://docs.fabfile.org/

I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions to automate the config file creation process rather than have to use the webpage?

I’ve roadmapped a “headless install” method in Headless install / command line piwik remote install · Issue #1586 · matomo-org/matomo · GitHub. Unlike your Python script, it won’t include a method to download/unzip.
