Milestone
The document at https://matomo.org/docs/event-tracking/ states "If you have Matomo Tag Manager installed, it is the easiest way to implement event tracking on your site." Underneath it, there is a set of instructions, the first of which is "Set up and configure Matomo Tag Manager (create a container and install the container code)" which is linked to https://matomo.org/free-tag-manager/#how-can-i-set-up-matomo-tag-manager-on-my-website.
Expected Behaviour
The documentation contains both a link to the installation instructions for on-premise Matomo, and a link to the instructions for Matomo-as-a-service.
When I click the self-hosted link, I am given instructions on how to create a container running the tag manager and install it on a self-hosted Matomo instance.
Actual Behaviour
There is only the one link. When I click it, I am taken to a page which gives me no instructions on how to install the tag manager, and instead tries to get me to sign up for a 21-day free trial of the hosted version. If I click on the "on-premise" link in the "commitment to open source" section, I am still not taken to installation instructions, but to a page which compares on-premise to hosted, presumably with the goal of getting me to say "oh, I'll just pay for hosted instead".
If I do not fall for this trap, and click "Install now", I am taken to a list of instructions which make no mention whatsoever of how to install the tag manager.
So, where are the instructions for setting this up, and why are they not linked to directly from the first page?
Clicking a link labelled "Set up and configure Matomo Tag Manager (create a container and install the container code)" should take you to a page that tells you how to do exactly that, no?
And surely a "commitment to open source" should include not burying the usage instructions below repeated upsells?
