SML Instructions:
Building your changes to a deployable zip
- Use npm version 10 or greater (nvm install 10)
- cd mattermost-server
- make build
- make build-client
- make package
Deploy to Staging Server
- Copy to server ("scp dist/mattermost-team-linux-amd64.tar.gz mattermost-staging:")
- SSH into the mattermost-staging server
- Remove contents of our old temp directory we used to deploy ("rm -rf tmp/*")
- Move the file into the temp directory ("mv mattermost-team-linux-amd64.tar.gz tmp/")
- Change directory to the tmp directory ("cd tmp/")
- Unzip the file ("gunzip mattermost-team-linux-amd64.tar.gz")
- Untar the file ("tar -xvf mattermost-team-linux-amd64.tar")
- You should now have a mattermost directory within your $HOME/tmp/ directory
- Copy items we need from the old mattermost deploy ("sudo cp -rfp /opt/mattermost/data mattermost/")
- Copy the plugins we need from the old mattermost deploy ("sudo cp -rfp /opt/mattermost/plugins mattermost$
- Copy the config.json from the old deploy ("sudo cp -rfp /opt/mattermost/config/config.json mattermost/con$
- Remove the old backup ("rm -rf /opt/mattermost.bak")
- Stop the running mattermost service ("sudo systemctl stop mattermost")
- Backup the existing mattermost deploy ("sudo mv /opt/mattermost /opt/mattermost.bak")
- Deploy the new mattermost ("sudo mv $HOME/tmp/mattermost /opt/mattermost")
- Startup mattermost again ("sudo systemctrl start mattermost")
Deploy to Production Server
- (Same steps as above, but with the production server)
Mattermost is an open source, self-hosted Slack-alternative from https://mattermost.org.
It's written in Golang and React and runs as a single Linux binary with MySQL or Postgres. Every month on the 16th a new compiled version is released under an MIT license.
This project hosts the webapp client code. Please file issues at /mattermost-server, which hosts the server code.
