matomo4nix
So you want to roll out Matomo on NixOS but you also want to use Nix to manage your plugins and themes instead of the builtin plugin system? You came to the right place.
This default.nix expression contains the code to handle all themes and plugins Matomo has to offer.
It does that by parsing pre-generated JSON files with all plugins and themes.
The files are pre-generated using the main.go script.
Plugins are only updated if they specify compatibility with the version currently in nixpkgs.

Generating the JSONs
The main.go script (by default) parses all plugins and themes for Matomo.
There also is an environment varaible, called COMMIT_LOG.
If set to 1, logs are generated.
This is used by the ci script.
The ci script is run daily by our CI and updates all plugins and themes.
It basically runs the generate.py script and generates a commit message.
Using the generated expressions
matomoPackages = (callPackage (builtins.fetchGit {
url = "https://git.helsinki.tools/helsinki-systems/matomo4nix";
ref = "master";
}) {}) // {
withPlugins = matomoPkg: pluginPkgs: runCommand "matomo-with-plugins" {} ''
cp -a ${matomoPkg}/. $out
find $out -type d -exec chmod 755 {} +
for i in ${lib.concatStringsSep " " pluginPkgs}; do
cp -a $i/. $out
done
'';
};$ nix-shell -p matomoPackages.plugins.kDebug
