I wish they had a simple Docker image available with everything setup and configurable from a single file. The installation process is complex and under documented, IMHO. But the software is pretty nice!

Even more simple, they have a Cloudron image. Click and deploy.

This looks like you need to pay Cloudron even if you run it on your own server.

Why do you need Docker for a simple PHP & MySQL script? To install it you just need to setup a MySQL database and enter the credentials in the setup script. Finally, add the tracking code to your site, but that's the same for every analytics engine.

And you also need to set up a bunch of things in your web server, add the cron jobs, run the update script and hope everything still works afterwards etc.

Maybe if someone hasn't an existing php host and doesn't want to configure one from scratch.
