Maloja is a real-time web analytics platform designed to be privacy-friendly. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Maloja on Debian.
Before installing Maloja, you need to install some dependencies that are required for it to run properly. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install curl git nodejs npm
This will install all the necessary packages.
You will also need to install Yarn, which is a package manager for JavaScript. Run the following command to install Yarn:
curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install yarn
Now that you have all the dependencies installed, you can clone the Maloja repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/krateng/maloja.git
This will clone the repository to your local machine.
Navigate to the Maloja directory and run the following command:
yarn install
This will install all the necessary dependencies for Maloja.
Next, you need to configure Maloja by creating a config.yaml file. You can do this by copying the config.sample.yaml file and renaming it to config.yaml:
cp config.sample.yaml config.yaml
Now, edit the config.yaml file to match your settings. Make sure to set the enabled option to true to enable Maloja.
To start Maloja, run the following command:
yarn run start
This will start the Maloja server. By default, the server will listen on http://localhost:8000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Maloja on Debian. You can now use Maloja to track your website's analytics in a privacy-friendly way.
