MySQL or PostgreSQL<\/a> as a database server; for this tutorial, you are going to use PostgreSQL as a database server for Mattermost. You can install PostgreSQL using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n# apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib<\/pre>\n\n\n\nOnce the installation is completed, you can access PostgreSQL using the command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo -u postgres psql<\/pre>\n\n\n\nNow go ahead and create a new database and PostgreSQL user who will have full permissions to this database<\/p>\n\n\n\n
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE mattermost;.\npostgres=# CREATE USER matuser WITH PASSWORD 'secure-password';\npostgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE mattermost to matuser;\npostgres=# \\q<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Step 3: Install Mattermost<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nDownload the latest version of Mattermost from the official website using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# wget https:\/\/releases.mattermost.com\/7.8.1\/mattermost-7.8.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz<\/pre>\n\n\n\nExtract the downloaded archive using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# tar -xvf mattermost*.tar.gz<\/pre>\n\n\n\nMove the extracted directory to the \/opt directory using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# mv mattermost \/opt\/mattermost<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Step 4: Configure Mattermost<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFirst, create a new system user called mattermost using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# useradd -U -M -d \/opt\/mattermost mattermost<\/pre>\n\n\n\nChange the owner and group of the Mattermost directory to mattermost using the command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# chown -R mattermost:mattermost \/opt\/mattermost<\/pre>\n\n\n\nNow you open you favorite your favorite text editor and edit the configuration file for Mattermost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# nano \/opt\/mattermost\/config\/config.json<\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou will need to edit the following line according to your database username, password and database name:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"DataSource\": postgres:\/\/matuser:strong-password@localhost:5432\/mattermost?sslmode=disable&connect_timeout=10\",<\/pre>\n\n\n\nNow you can create the systemd unit file for the Mattermost service at \/etc\/systemd\/system\/mattermost.service<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[Unit]\nDescription=Mattermost\nAfter=network.target\nAfter=postgresql.service\nBindsTo=postgresql.service\n\n[Service]\nType=notify\nExecStart=\/opt\/mattermost\/bin\/mattermost\nTimeoutStartSec=3600\nKillMode=mixed\nRestart=always\nRestartSec=10\nWorkingDirectory=\/opt\/mattermost\nUser=mattermost\nGroup=mattermost\nLimitNOFILE=49152\n\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nReload the system daemon and can start the Mattermost service<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# systemctl daemon-reload\n# systemctl start mattermost<\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou can also enable the mattermost service to start automatically with every system reboot<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# systemctl enable mattermost<\/pre>\n\n\n\nTo confirm that Mattermost is installed and everything is working as expected, you can run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# systemctl status mattermost<\/pre>\n\n\n\n\u25cf mattermost.service - Mattermost\n Loaded: loaded (\/etc\/systemd\/system\/mattermost.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)\n Active: active (running) since Tue 2023-03-14 12:08:12 UTC; 2h 17min ago\n Main PID: 11725 (mattermost)\n Tasks: 40 (limit: 4573)\n Memory: 273.2M\n CPU: 16.264s\n CGroup: \/system.slice\/mattermost.service\n \u251c\u250011725 \/opt\/mattermost\/bin\/mattermost\n \u251c\u250011743 plugins\/com.mattermost.plugin-channel-export\/server\/dist\/plugin-linux-amd64\n \u251c\u250011748 plugins\/com.mattermost.nps\/server\/dist\/plugin-linux-amd64\n \u251c\u250011761 plugins\/playbooks\/server\/dist\/plugin-linux-amd64\n \u251c\u250011774 plugins\/focalboard\/server\/dist\/plugin-linux-amd64\n \u2514\u250011789 plugins\/com.mattermost.calls\/server\/dist\/plugin-linux-amd64\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nMattermost is now installed and running. To access Mattermost, open your favorite browser and enter http:\/\/server-IP-address:8065<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To access Mattermost using your domain, you will need to install nginx and set up a reverse proxy for port 8065<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# apt install nginx<\/pre>\n\n\n\nCreate the virtual host file by replacing your-domain with your actual domain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# nano \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/your-domain.com.conf<\/pre>\n\n\n\nUse the following code for the virtual host configuration file, and don’t forget to replace your-domain with your actual domain name<\/p>\n\n\n\n
server {\n listen 80;\n\n server_name your-domain.com;\n root \/opt\/mattermost;\n\n error_log \/var\/log\/nginx\/mattermost.error;\n access_log \/var\/log\/nginx\/mattermost.access;\n\n location \/ {\n\n proxy_pass http:\/\/localhost:8065;\n\n }\n}<\/pre>\n\n\n\nNow Mattermost can be accessed over your domain https:\/\/your-domain.com.
