Installing Mattermost
=====================
You're installing "Mattermost Alpha", a pre-released version providing an early look at what we're building. While the core team runs this version internally, it's not recommended for production since we can't guarantee API stability or backwards compatibility.
That said, any issues at all, please let us know on the Mattermost forum at: http://forum.mattermost.org
Notes:
- For Alpha, Docker is intentionally setup as a single container, since production deployment not yet recommended.
Local Machine Setup (Docker)
-----------------------------
### Mac OSX ###
1. Install Boot2Docker using instructions at: http://docs.docker.com/installation/mac/
1. Start Boot2Docker from the command line and run: `boot2docker init eval “$(boot2docker shellinit)”`
2. Get your Docker IP address with: `boot2docker ip`
3. Use `sudo nano /etc/hosts` to add `<Docker IP> dockerhost` to your /etc/hosts file
4. Run: `boot2docker shellinit` and copy the export statements to your ~/.bash\_profile by running `sudo nano ~/.bash_profile`. Then run: `source ~/.bash_profile`
5. Run: `docker run --name mattermost-dev -d --publish 8065:80 mattermost/platform`
6. When docker is done fetching the image, open http://dockerhost:8065/ in your browser.
### Ubuntu ###
1. Follow the instructions at https://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/ or use the summary below:
``` bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wget
wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker <username>
sudo service docker start
newgrp docker
```
2. Start docker container:
``` bash
docker run --name mattermost-dev -d --publish 8065:80 mattermost/platform
```
3. When docker is done fetching the image, open http://localhost:8065/ in your browser.
### Arch ###
1. Install docker using the following commands:
``` bash
pacman -S docker
systemctl enable docker.service
systemctl start docker.service
gpasswd -a <username> docker
newgrp docker
```
2. Start docker container:
``` bash
docker run --name mattermost-dev -d --publish 8065:80 mattermost/platform
```
3. When docker is done fetching the image, open http://localhost:8065/ in your browser.
### Additional Notes ###
- If you want to work with the latest bits in the repository (i.e. not a stable release) you can run the cmd:
`docker run --name mattermost-dev -d --publish 8065:80 mattermost/platform:dev`
- You can update to the latest bits by running:
`docker pull mattermost/platform:dev`
- If you wish to remove mattermost-dev use:
`docker stop mattermost-dev`
`docker rm -v mattermost-dev`
- If you wish to gain access to a shell on the container use:
`docker exec -ti mattermost-dev /bin/bash`
AWS Elastic Beanstalk Setup (Docker)
------------------------------------
1. Create a new elastic beanstalk docker application using the [Dockerrun.aws.json](docker/0.6/Dockerrun.aws.json) file provided.
1. From the AWS console select Elastic Beanstalk.
2. Select "Create New Application" from the top right.
3. Name the application and press next.
4. Select "Create a web server" environment.
5. If asked, select create an IAM role and instance profile and press next.
6. For predefined configuration select under Generic: Docker. For environment type select single instance.
7. For application source, select upload your own and upload Dockerrun.aws.json from [docker/0.6/Dockerrun.aws.json](docker/0.6/Dockerrun.aws.json). Everything else may be left at default.
8. Select an environment name, this is how you will refer to your environment. Make sure the URL is available then press next.
9. The options on the additional resources page may be left at default unless you wish to change them. Press Next.
10. On the configuration details place. Select an instance type of t2.small or larger.
11. You can set the configuration details as you please but they may be left at their defaults. When you are done press next.
12. Environment tags my be left blank. Press next.
13. You will be asked to review your information. Press Launch.
4. Try it out!
14. Wait for beanstalk to update the environment.
15. Try it out by entering the domain of the form \*.elasticbeanstalk.com found at the top of the dashboard into your browser. You can also map your own domain if you wish.
Configuration Settings
----------------------
There are a few configuration settings you might want to adjust when setting up your instance of Mattermost. You can edit them in [config/config.json](config/config.json) or [docker/0.6/config_docker.json](docker/0.6/config_docker.json) if you're running a docker instance.
* *EmailSettings*:*ByPassEmail* - If this is set to true, then users on the system will not need to verify their email addresses when signing up. In addition, no emails will ever be sent.
* *ServiceSettings*:*UseLocalStorage* - If this is set to true, then your Mattermost server will store uploaded files in the storage directory specified by *StorageDirectory*. *StorageDirectory* must be set if *UseLocalStorage* is set to true.
* *ServiceSettings*:*StorageDirectory* - The file path where files will be stored locally if *UseLocalStorage* is set to true. The operating system user that is running the Mattermost application must have read and write privileges to this directory.
* *AWSSettings*:*S3*\* - If *UseLocalStorage* is set to false, and the S3 settings are configured here, then Mattermost will store files in the provided S3 bucket.
