Self-hosting: Mattermost

[@jaroslavkrajca9325]

Increadible. I have been struggling with setting up Mattermost on our VPS. I have been getting a bunch of error while following the original documentation. Nothing worked. I tried docker, portainer,... everything. You literally solved all the issues I had in 18 minutes. Great job. Thanks!

[@underjord]

I am thrilled it was that helpful!

[@shalokshalom]

Does sound like you used Apache/nginx? Caddy avoids lots of issues, imho.

[@The5thVolt]

YES! We've been using Mattermost for a few years now as we didn't want our client related communication to be out in the wild.

[@combinio9533]

Great video! This is exactly what I've been searching. +1 for Postgres. Thanks for sharing!

[@juansebastianlopezgiraldo3603]

Great job!, thanks for your information... They only trouble that I am having right now is that whenever I do the caddy reload it says that caddy service is not running, so for now I have a non secure app, but I would like to make it secure.

[@iamcaviar2674]

Thank you for existing, man! The tutorial is soo good!

[@underjord]

Thank you very much for letting me know :)

[@Markobu4u]

Hey very good tutorial first of all. I ran in to a slight problem. After starting the caddy service I tried accessing the site, however I get the error that the connection is not secure and the page wont load. How could I fix this?

[@underjord]

The caddy setup should get https set up. Check that you are connecting to the right port I guess? I don't remember the details of this tutorial I'm afraid so that's all that comes to mind.

[@Kojow7]

When using the self-hosted version of Mattermost, can multiple companies join and set up their own private areas, similar to how Slack works? Or does the self-hosted option work best within a single company?

[@underjord]

From what I've seen it is appropriate for a single company. A drawback is also that the Mattermost mobile app really only supports one instance. That kind of sucks and last I checked it didn't seem like they would address that right away. Which seems absurd to me.

[@dsulvadarius]

I liked the sound effects you used.

[@ManavRajani]

Great information, thank you. But loved your quality of video, the crystal clear smooth.

[@sufyankhanbest]

Thank You!!!. I was trying to install matrix from last week and nothing worked at all, So I start searching for the alternatives and found mattermost, and you know what on first attempt it was installed successfully without any error. Once again thank you ☺ Now my next step is to disable the direct messaging for few users, do you have any idea, how do I implement it?

[@ygtntxrf]

Perfect style. Thanks

[@BrahyamMosquera]

Super limpia la explicación, todo me funcionó exactamente como lo explicaste, valió la pena cada minuto de este video

[@FluxinWaffle]

I found the calls plugin to incorporate it. I've already uploaded it to the server, and in the system console under the plugins section, I can find the options and configurations for this plugin. However, in the channels and direct messages interface, the option to make calls doesn't appear. Does anyone know why this could be happening?

[@dennissam989]

for me the caddy setup not worked me properly. i'm using cloudflare setup, idk y

[@sufyankhanbest]

@Underjord how do I remove default channels (off topic and Town square) there is option to make 'off-topic' channel private but no option to remove them... Our requirement is to only keep private channels with disabled direct messaging for few members with each other.

[@underjord]

I don't know. I do not currently operate a Mattermost instance. The documentation seemed pretty solid at the time I made this though so I would search that :)

[@sufyankhanbest]

@@underjord sure, thank you

[@sacredabhishek-31]

@underjord how we can access poestgres sql in PGADMIN / postgres GUI installed for mattermost??

[@underjord]

Haven't tried that. Would mean using whatever the docker setup exposes or adapting it.

[@zmeloh]

Call configurations is automatically enable ?

[@underjord]

I doubt it :/

[@oibafn]

Excelente!!!! Deberías tener mas tutoriales sobre otras configuraciones de la aplicación.

[@mindraiz]

Hi mate, thanks for the tutorial! I'm stuck on the part where we check if it's running doing the IP:8065. I tried others tutorials and launch so many times a new server and I can't make it work. I always get the message "This site can't be reached". Any help?

[@underjord]

If you can't reach it there can be multiple reasons: if your server has a network policy/firewall of some sort that doesn't expose the port. AWS needs extra config for this for example. Or it is not starting, then something should be in the log. But generally, making sure the port is exposed properly can be a bit of work. Check network docs for your server provider. Some platforms only expose 80/443 for web. In that case you would need to change the port you run on.

[@mindraiz]

​@@underjord Thanks so much for the reply. It worked after a while. I believe it just need a time for the URL to propagate. Thanks for the tutorial! You are a Legend!

[@Gututorak]

I can install on casaOs?

[@underjord]

I have no idea :) try it!

[@MrLamdou]

Very nice tuto ! It works perfectly. I have only a problem to make caddy work. Has anyone managed to make it work ?

[@MrLamdou]

I figured it out. You cannot use IP, but a domain name. (I am not a technical person, might be obvious for some of you)

[@camaycama7479]

why rainbow on your casket?

[@underjord]

Pride mostly. And it is a hat. Had not heard it called casket.

[@dragodraganov7726]

I get ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT :(

[@underjord]

See other notes on ports and such in another comment. But there could be many reasons for this. Hard to advice on.

[@ivanobuffa]

Very nice... unfortunately I have an ARM64 processor as a VPS on my side and I discovered that Mattermost is currently not supporting this type of architecture :( Thanks though!

[@underjord]

Haven't tried them and don't know how legit they are but someone said this build works for them: github.com/SmartHoneybee/ubiquitous-memory/releases

[@adamsernheim2746]

Nice and informative video!

[@underjord]

Thanks man

[@alexandrepedroza9217]

Great video!

[@devdev-cs3tq]

FINALY ! THANKS MY MANNNN

[@air-drive]

I am trying my best to sit through this, but you don't stop talking for a second, wow, is this a chat show? or a class in installing Mattermost? Just wondering.

[@underjord]

No, I do not stop talking. And you are not actually wondering. So that works out.

[@jdavid82]

Thanks for the video, please note that as of June 2024 you now need to provide the following grants: GRANT ALL ON DATABASE mattermost TO mattermost; ALTER DATABASE mattermost OWNER TO mattermost; GRANT USAGE, CREATE ON SCHEMA PUBLIC TO mattermost;

[@norrlandjr]

👑Fräsig keps!

[@underjord]

Jajemen!

[@quebirt]

When did we decide that "Self-hosting" includes cloud-hosting? Doing the install yourself doesn't make it self-hosted. HOSTING it yourself makes it self-hosted. That's how words work.

[@underjord]

It is impossible, impossible I tell you, to put a virtual machine in your home! While I get your point I think it is nuance without particular value. If it was about setting up a server from scratch the difference between a VPS and metal matters.

[@quebirt]

@@underjord If you have the VM Host in your own environment, it is self-hosted. It's not that complicated.
