 As discussed, it would be useful to have a Matomo instance running to grab
 analytics

 https://matomo.org

 As discussed here -

 Requirements are:

 * PHP > 7.2
 * MySQL > 5.5
 * Apache2 or NGINX


 There is also a plugin for wordpress

 https://matomo.org/installing-matomo-for-wordpress/

 I'm unclear if the wordpress one can only be used for the wordpress
 instance, I assume so or if it can be used for any website.

 At anyrate, putting in on the wordpress instance on osgeo7, might make the
 most sense.

 Right now the wordpress instance is running PHP 7.3, I forget which MySQL,
 definitely newer than 5.5, and apache2 2.4 I think.  It is currently
 buster.

 I do plan to upgrade it, first on dev, so maybe I can experiment on dev
 installing matomo after the upgrade.

 It looks however that it relies on some javascript string to be added, so
 not sure how it will collect download stats such as what happens on
 download.osgeo.org.  I would think such a tool would need access to the
 raw weblogs as what awstats used to process.
