ns8-mattermost

Start and configure a mattermost instance. The module uses Mattermost Docker Image for Team Edition.

##Documentation The documenation is available at https://docs.mattermost.com/

You could configure the settings by Environment variables, the container must be restarted once the Env vars has been changed

Install

Instantiate the module with:

add-module ghcr.io/nethserver/mattermost:latest 1

The output of the command will return the instance name. Output example:

{"module_id": "mattermost1", "image_name": "mattermost", "image_url": "ghcr.io/nethserver/mattermost:latest"}

Configure

Let's assume that the mattermost instance is named mattermost1.

Launch configure-module, by setting the following parameters:

• host: a fully qualified domain name for the application
• http2https: enable or disable HTTP to HTTPS redirection
• lets_encrypt: enable or disable Let's Encrypt certificate

Example:

api-cli run configure-module --agent module/mattermost1 --data - <<EOF
{
  "host": "mattermost.domain.com",
  "http2https": true,
  "lets_encrypt": false
}
EOF

The above command will:

• start and configure the mattermost instance
• configure a virtual host for trafik to access the instance

Get the configuration

You can retrieve the configuration with

api-cli run get-configuration --agent module/mattermost1 --data null | jq

Access the database

You can access the database of a running instance using this command:

podman exec -ti postgres-app psql -U mattuser

Smarthost discovery

Mattermost registers to the event smarthost-changed, each time you enable or disable the smarthost settings in the node, you restart mattermost. Before to start the containers we trigger the script discover-smarthost to find and write to an environment file smarthost.env the settings of the smarthost and enable the email notification.

Uninstall

To uninstall the instance:

remove-module --no-preserve mattermost1

Testing

Test the module using the test-module.sh script:

./test-module.sh <NODE_ADDR> ghcr.io/nethserver/mattermost:latest

The tests are made using Robot Framework
