Matomo provides an official docker image, you should use this instead: https://github.com/matomo-org/docker/blob/master/.examples/apache/docker-compose.yml

A docker image with nginx and Matomo.

To pull this image from the docker hub, use to following command:

docker pull auchri/docker-nginx-matomo

To build from source you need to clone the git repo and run docker build:

git clone https://github.com/auchri/docker-nginx-matomo.git
docker build -t auchri/docker-nginx-matomo:latest .

To run the container with docker-compose, create a docker-compose.yml with the following content:

version: '3.7'

volumes:
  matomo_database_data:

services:
  matomo_database:
    image: mariadb
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - matomo_database_data:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=your-secret-root-password
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=your-secret-password
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=matomo
      - MYSQL_USER=matomo

  matomo:
    image: auchri/docker-nginx-matomo
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - '80:80'

and execute docker-compose up -d on the same folder as the docker-compose-file is.

After that, you can access Matomo on port 80.

At the first time you access Matomo, you have to enter the database credentials and create an admin user. Use matomo_database as mysql host, matomo as database username and name and use your-secret-password as the database password.

After replacing the container, you have to access the database credentials again. But you can use the existing data, so you don't need to set everything up again.
