Mattermost

Mattermost is an instant messaging software.

In our example, we use the SSH access and consider the following information:

Account name: [account]
Mattermost directory: /home/[account]/mattermost/
PostgreSQL database: [account]_mattermost - to be created in the Databases > PostgreSQL menu of the administration interface
Port: 8300 (ports between 8300 and 8499 can be used)

Note

[version] must be replaced by the accurate data. Feel free to adjust according to your needs.

Installation

[account]@ssh:~/mattermost$ wget -O- https://releases.mattermost.com/[version]/mattermost-[version]-linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar -xz --strip-components=1
[account]@ssh:~/mattermost$ mkdir data
