1 1  Installing Mattermost – Memo sheet
2 2  
3 3  ## 1. General principle
4 4  
5 -* Installation suited for an administrator comfortable with Linux (command line, services, reverse proxy).
6 -* Runs on a Linux server (VM, LXC, bare-metal, or via Docker containers).

7 7  
8 8  ## 2. Recommended server type
9 9  
10 -* OS: 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu/Debian recommended).
11 -* Possible platforms:
12 - * VPS or dedicated server at a hosting provider.
13 - * Self-hosted server (with port forwarding + DNS).
14 - * Virtualized environment such as Proxmox (VM or LXC).

16 16  ## 3. Required software components
17 17  
18 -* System: Linux server distribution (Ubuntu 18.04+ or equivalent).
19 -* Database: PostgreSQL (recommended) or MySQL/MariaDB.
20 -* Web server / reverse proxy: Nginx or Apache.
21 -* TLS certificates: Let's Encrypt via Certbot or equivalent (for HTTPS).
22 -* System service: systemd unit or equivalent to start Mattermost at boot.

23 23  
24 24  ## 4. Main steps for a "classic" installation (VM or LXC)
25 25  
26 26  1. Update the system and install required packages (PostgreSQL/MySQL, Nginx/Apache, utilities).
27 -1. Create the database and dedicated SQL user for Mattermost.
28 -1. Download and extract the Mattermost archive to a directory (e.g. `/opt/mattermost`).
29 -1. Configure `config.json` (site URL, DB connection, ports, basic options).
30 -1. Create a dedicated system user and a systemd unit for the Mattermost service.
31 -1. Configure Nginx/Apache as a reverse proxy to Mattermost, enable HTTPS (Let's Encrypt).

31 +4. Configure `config.json` (site URL, DB connection, ports, basic options).
32 +5. Create a dedicated system user and a systemd unit for the Mattermost service.

33 33  ## 5. Using Proxmox
34 34  
35 -* Options:
36 - * Linux VM (Ubuntu/Debian) with classic installation.
37 - * Linux LXC container with classic installation.
38 - * VM or LXC "Docker host" on which Mattermost is deployed via Docker.
39 -* Scripts or LXC templates are available to deploy Mattermost directly in Proxmox (automated pre-configuration).
37 +- Options:
38 + - Linux VM (Ubuntu/Debian) with classic installation.
39 + - Linux LXC container with classic installation.
40 + - VM or LXC "Docker host" on which Mattermost is deployed via Docker.
41 +- Scripts or LXC templates are available to deploy Mattermost directly in Proxmox (automated pre-configuration).
40 40  
41 41  ## 6. Deployment with Docker
42 42  
43 -* Available images:
44 - * Mattermost server (dedicated image, often used with docker-compose).
45 - * PostgreSQL (official `postgres` image).
46 - * Nginx reverse proxy (official `nginx` image) or equivalents (Traefik, Nginx Proxy Manager).
47 -* Typical `docker-compose` setup:
48 - * `mattermost-app` service (application).
49 - * `db` service (PostgreSQL).
50 - * `reverse-proxy` service (Nginx/Traefik) exposed on 80/443.
45 +- Available images:
46 + - Mattermost server (dedicated image, often used with docker-compose).
47 + - PostgreSQL (official `postgres` image).
48 + - Nginx reverse proxy (official `nginx` image) or equivalents (Traefik, Nginx Proxy Manager).
49 +- Typical `docker-compose` setup:
50 + - `mattermost-app` service (application).
51 + - `db` service (PostgreSQL).

52 52  ## 7. Complexity level
53 53  
54 -* Reasonable for an administrator comfortable with:
55 - * Service management (systemd).
56 - * Database configuration.
57 - * Reverse proxy and TLS certificates.
58 -* Simpler with:
59 - * A step-by-step tutorial adapted to the distribution.
60 - * Pre-configured scripts or containers (Proxmox helper scripts, Docker stacks).
56 +- Reasonable for an administrator comfortable with:
57 + - Service management (systemd).
58 + - Database configuration.
59 + - Reverse proxy and TLS certificates.
60 +- Simpler with:
61 + - A step-by-step tutorial adapted to the distribution.
62 + - Pre-configured scripts or containers (Proxmox helper scripts, Docker stacks).
