Then, we need to run this cURL command to configure the Omnibus repositories: curl -o- | sudo bashĪnd then, we just need to install the Omnibus package itself: sudo apt install mattermost-omnibus The install process has only three steps: First, we need to get an empty Ubuntu server to install Omnibus in and a domain name pointing to that server. Currently, it supports Ubuntu’s bionic and focal distributions, but we’re planning to extend it support to RedHat/CentOS distributions as well. Mattermost Omnibus works based on two principles: It’s a Debian package that leverages the apt package manager to install and keep the components of the platform updated, and it uses a custom CLI and Ansible recipes to link those components together and configure them. The challenge? R&D demos are limited to three minutes, so we would have to squeeze the whole process into that timeframe. The goal was to demo a complete install in our R&D meeting, from an empty Ubuntu server to a fully working Mattermost platform. Inspired by the Gitlab Omnibus package distribution, we decided to create a proof of concept following a similar approach: a package that would be easy to install and that will configure everything you need automatically. Managing a Mattermost install is quite straightforward already thanks to its binary distribution, but you still need to install and manage the different components that surround the application itself: the database, the web proxy, and the SSL certificate.
#Install mattermost how to#
Some time ago, a group of Mattermost contributors sat down to think about how to improve the installation and maintenance flow of the platform.
