Mattermost - open source, self-hosted Slack-alternative

Mattermost - Self-hosted Slack compatible team messaging

Mattermost is a sleek, Slack-compatible open source service that makes it easy to self-host team communications. It brings messaging and file sharing into one place, accessible across PCs and mobile, with archiving and search. It integrates with a range of apps out-of-the-box and is extendable so you can build custom functionality on top of the Golang / React core.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

• Mattermost configurations:

  • Mattermost installed from upstream source code to /opt/mattermost

    Security note: Updates to Mattermost may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. See below for updating Mattermost.

  • Includes Nginx (webserver); pre-configured to proxy Mattermost.

  • Pre-configured to use PostgreSQL (recommended for production).

• SSL support out of the box.

• Adminer administration frontend for PostgreSQL (listening on port 12322 - uses SSL).

• Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).

• Webmin modules for configuring Postfix, PostgreSQL.
