Hello,
This has been driving me crazy for some time and I haven’t found any answers, so I guess I’m going to go ahead and just ask here.
I had Matomo setup on Kubernetes as a Deployment (+ a service, a configMap, pvc, etc), but this was causing issues whenever the pod restarted, because each and every plugin/configuration we had performed would be lost. Frustrating but I guessed that was my fault…
In the meantime I’ve read a bit more about the Matomo configuration and I’ve setup Matomo by providing the config.ini.php file at startup and converted the Deployment to a StatefulSet (inspired by https://github.com/matomo-org/docker/issues/219) thinking this would fix this issue…
However, each and every time my pods restarts - Poof! - the installed plugins and geoIP database disappear (the rest of the configuration from the config.ini.php file remains though, as does the DB)…
So, how is one supposed to fix this? How do I ensure that Matomo restarts in the same state it was before it was restarted? There MUST be a solution…
EDIT:
I see that the plugins (which seem to be present on /var/usr/www/html/plugins) have a different date than the rest of the directories… Should I maybe also map the Plugins dir to a PVC?
root@matomo-0:/var/www/html# ls -la plugins/
