+# Production Installation on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
+
+## Install Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS
+1. Set up 3 machines with Ubuntu 14.04 with 2GB of RAM or more.  The servers will be used for the Load Balancer, Mattermost, and Database.
+1. Make sure the system is up to date with the most recent security patches.
+  * ``` sudo apt-get update```
+  * ``` sudo apt-get upgrade```
+
+## Setup Database Server
+1. For the purposes of this guide we will assume this server has an IP address of 10.10.10.1
+1. Install PostgreSQL 9.3+ (or MySQL 5.2+)
+  * ``` sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib```
+1. PostgreSQL created a user account called `postgres`.  You will need to log into that account with:
+  * ``` sudo -i -u postgres```
+1. You can get a PostgreSQL prompt by typing:
+  * ``` psql```
+1. Create the Mattermost database by typing:
+  * ```postgres=# CREATE DATABASE mattermost;```
+1. Create the Mattermost user by typing:
+  * ```postgres=# CREATE USER mmuser WITH PASSWORD 'mmuser_password';```
+1. Grant the user access to the Mattermost database by typing:
+  * ```postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE mattermost to mmuser;```
+1. You can exit out of PostgreSQL by typing:
+  * ```postgre=# \q```
+1. You can exit the postgres account by typing:
+  * ``` exit```
+
+## Setup Mattermost Server
+1. For the purposes of this guide we will assume this server has an IP address of 10.10.10.2
+1. Download the latest Mattermost Server by typing:
+  * ``` wget https://github.com/mattermost/platform/releases/download/v1.0.0/mattermost.tar.gz```
+1. Unzip the Mattermost Server by typing:
+  * ``` tar -xvzf mattermost.tar.gz```
+1. For the sake of making this guide simple we located the files at `/home/ubuntu/mattermost`, in the future we will give guidance for storing under `/opt`.
+1. We have also elected to run the Mattermost Server as the `ubuntu` account for simplicity.  We recommend settings up and running the service under a `mattermost` user account with limited permissions.
+1. Create the storage directory for files.  We assume you will have attached a large drive for storage of images and files.  For this setup we will assume the directory is located at `/mattermost/data`.
+  * Create the directory by typing:
+  * ``` sudo mkdir -p /mattermost/data```
+  * Set the ubuntu account as the directory owner by typing:
+  * ``` sudo chown -R ubuntu /mattermost```
+1. Configure Mattermost Server by editing the config.json file at /home/ubuntu/mattermost/config`
+  * ``` cd ~/mattermost/config```
+  * Edit the file by typing:
+  * ``` vi config.json```
+  * replace `DriverName": "mysql"` with `DriverName": "postgres"`
+  * replace `"DataSource": "mmuser:mostest@tcp(dockerhost:3306)/mattermost_test?charset=utf8mb4,utf8"` with `"DataSource": "postgres://mmuser:mmuser_password@10.10.10.1:5432/mattermost?sslmode=disable&connect_timeout=10"`
+  * Optionally you may continue to edit configuration settings in `config.json` or use the System Console described in a later section to finish the configuration.
+1. Test the Mattermost Server
+  * ``` cd ~/mattermost/bin```
+  * Run the Mattermost Server by typing:
+  * ``` ./platform```
+  * You should see a console log like `Server is listening on :8065` letting you know the service is running.
+  * Stop the server for now by typing `ctrl-c`
+1. Setup Mattermost to use the Ubuntu Upstart daemon which handles supervision of the Mattermost process.
+  * ``` sudo touch /etc/init/mattermost.conf```
+  * ``` sudo vi /etc/init/mattermost.conf```
+  * Copy the following lines into `/etc/init/mattermost.conf`
+```
+start on runlevel [2345]
+stop on runlevel [016]
+respawn
+chdir /home/ubuntu/mattermost
+setuid ubuntu
+exec bin/platform
+```   
+  * You can manage the process by typing:
+  * ``` sudo start mattermost```
+  * Verify the service is running by typing:
+  * ``` curl http://10.10.10.2:8065```
+  * You should see a page titles *Mattermost - Signup*
+  * You can also stop the process by running the command ` sudo stop mattermost`, but we will skip this step for now.
+
+## Setup Nginx Server
+1. For the purposes of this guide we will assume this server has an IP address of 10.10.10.3
+1. We use Nginx for proxying request to the Mattermost Server.  The main benefits are:
+  * SSL termination
+  * http to https redirect
+  * Port mapping :80 to :8065
+  * Standard request logs
+1. Install Nginx on Ubuntu with
+  * ``` sudo apt-get install nginx```
+1. Verify Nginx is running
+  * ``` curl http://10.10.10.3```
+  * You should see a *Welcome to nginx!* page
+1. You can manage Nginx with the following commands
+  * ``` sudo service nginx stop```
+  * ``` sudo service nginx start```
+  * ``` sudo service nginx restart```
+1. Map a FQDN (fully qualified domain name) like **mattermost.example.com** to point to the Nginx server.
+1. Configure Nginx to proxy connections from the internet to the Mattermost Server
+  * Create a configuration for Mattermost
+  * ``` sudo touch /etc/nginx/sites-available/mattermost```
+  * Below is a sample configuration with the minimum settings required to configure Mattermost.
+  * 
+ ```
+   server {
+	  server_name mattermost.example.com;
+      location / {
+		  client_max_body_size 50M;
+		  proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+          proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
+		  proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
+		  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+		  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+		  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+		  proxy_set_header   X-Frame-Options   SAMEORIGIN;
+          proxy_pass http://localhost:8065;
+      }
+    }
+```
+  * Remove the existing file with
+  * ``` sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default```
+  * Link the mattermost config by typing:
+  * ```sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mattermost /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mattermost```
+  * Restart Nginx by typing:
+  * ``` sudo service nginx restart```
+  * Verify you can see Mattermost thru the proxy by typing:
+  * ``` curl http://localhost```
+  * You should see a page titles *Mattermost - Signup*
+  
+## Setup Nginx with SSL (Recommended)
+1. You will need a SSL cert from a certificate authority.
+1. For simplicity we will generate a test certificate.
+  * ``` mkdir ~/cert```
+  * ``` cd ~/cert```
+  * ``` sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout mattermost.key -out mattermost.crt```
+  * Input the following info 
+```
+    Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:US
+    State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:California
+    Locality Name (eg, city) []:Palo Alto
+    Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:Example LLC
+    Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
+    Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:mattermost.example.com
+    Email Address []:admin@mattermost.example.com
+```
+1. Modify the file at `/etc/nginx/sites-available/mattermost` and add the following lines
+  * 
+```
+  server {
+       listen         80;
+       server_name    mattermost.example.com;
+       return         301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
+  }
+  
+  server {
+        listen 443 ssl;
+        server_name mattermost.example.com;
+		
+        ssl on;
+        ssl_certificate /home/ubuntu/cert/mattermost.crt;
+        ssl_certificate_key /home/ubuntu/cert/mattermost.key;
+        ssl_session_timeout 5m;
+        ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
+        ssl_ciphers "HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5 or HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!3DES";
+        ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
+		
+		# add to location / above
+		location / {
+			gzip off;
+			proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;
+```
+## Finish Mattermost Server setup
+1. Navigate to https://mattermost.example.com and create a team and user.
+1. The first user in the system is automatically granted the `system_admin` role, which gives you access to the System Console.
+1. From the `town-square` channel click the dropdown and choose the `System Console` option
+1. Update Email Settings.  We recommend using an email sending service.  The example below assumes AmazonSES.
+  * Set *Send Email Notifications* to true
+  * Set *Require Email Verification* to true
+  * Set *Feedback Name* to `No-Reply`
+  * Set *Feedback Email* to `mattermost@example.com`
+  * Set *SMTP Username* to `AFIADTOVDKDLGERR`
+  * Set *SMTP Password* to `DFKJoiweklsjdflkjOIGHLSDFJewiskdjf`
+  * Set *SMTP Server* to `email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com`
+  * Set *SMTP Port* to `465`
+  * Set *Connection Security* to `TLS`
+  * Save the Settings
+1. Update File Settings
+  * Change *Local Directory Location* from `./data/` to `/mattermost/data`
+1. Update Log Settings
+  * Set *Log to The Console* to false  
+1. Update Rate Limit Settings
+  * Set *Vary By Remote Address* to false
+  * Set *Vary By HTTP Header* to X-Real-IP
+1. Feel free to modify other settings.
+1. Restart the Mattermost Service by typing:
+  * ``` sudo restart mattermost```
