# Single Container Installation and Upgrade
The following install instructions are for single-container installs of Mattermost using Docker for exploring product functionality and upgrading to newer versions.
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 master from the repository (i.e. not a stable release) you can run the cmd:
``` bash
docker run --name mattermost-dev -d --publish 8065:80 mattermost/platform:dev
```
- Instructions on how to update your Docker image are found below.
- If you wish to remove mattermost-dev use:
``` bash
docker stop mattermost-dev
docker rm -v mattermost-dev
```
- If you wish to gain access to a shell on the container use:
``` bash
docker exec -ti mattermost-dev /bin/bash
```
## AWS Elastic Beanstalk Setup (Docker)
1. Create a new Elastic Beanstalk Docker application using the [Dockerrun.aws.zip](docker/0.6/Dockerrun.aws//Dockerrun.aws.zip) 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.zip from [Dockerrun.aws.zip](docker/0.6/Dockerrun.aws//Dockerrun.aws.zip). 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.
## Email Setup (Optional)
By default email is turned off in a single-container install, which simplifies setup, but also disables part of the product's core functionality. The following instructions allow you to enable email.
1. Setup an email sending service. If you already have credentials for a SMTP server you can skip this step.
1. [Setup Amazon Simple Email Service](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ses)
2. From the `SMTP Settings` menu click `Create My SMTP Credentials`
3. Copy the `Server Name`, `Port`, `SMTP Username`, and `SMTP Password`
4. From the `Domains` menu setup and verify a new domain. It it also a good practice to enable `Generate DKIM Settings` for this domain.
5. Choose an email address like `feedback@example.com` for Mattermost to send emails from.
6. Test sending an email from `feedback@example.com` by clicking the `Send a Test Email` button and verify everything appears to be working correctly.
2. Modify the Mattermost configuration file config.json or config_docker.json with the SMTP information.
1. If you're running Mattermost on Amazon Beanstalk you can shell into the instance with the following commands
2. `ssh ec2-user@[domain for the docker instance]`
3. `sudo gpasswd -a ec2-user docker`
4. Retrieve the name of the container with `sudo docker ps`
5. `sudo docker exec -ti container_name /bin/bash`
3. Edit the config file `vi /config_docker.json` with the settings you captured from the step above. See an example below and notice `ByPassEmail` has been set to `false`
``` bash
"EmailSettings": {
"ByPassEmail" : false,
"SMTPUsername": "AKIADTOVBGERKLCBV",
"SMTPPassword": "jcuS8PuvcpGhpgHhlcpT1Mx42pnqMxQY",
"SMTPServer": "email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:465",
"UseTLS": true,
"FeedbackEmail": "feedback@example.com",
"FeedbackName": "Feedback",
"ApplePushServer": "",
"ApplePushCertPublic": "",
"ApplePushCertPrivate": ""
}
```
4. Restart Mattermost
1. Find the process id with `ps -A` and look for the process named `platform`
2. Kill the process `kill pid`
3. The service should restart automatically. Verify the Mattermost service is running with `ps -A`
4. Current logged in users will not be affected, but upon logging out or session expiration users will be required to verify their email address.
## Upgrading Mattermost
### Docker ###
To upgrade your Docker image to a preview of the latest stable release (NOTE: this will erase all data in the Docker container, including the database):
1. Stop your Docker container by running:
``` bash
docker stop mattermost-dev
```
2. Delete your Docker container by running:
``` bash
docker rm mattermost-dev
```
3. Update your Docker image by running:
``` bash
docker pull mattermost/platform
```
4. Start your Docker container by running:
``` bash
docker run --name mattermost-dev -d --publish 8065:80 mattermost/platform
```
To upgrade to the latest development build on master from the repository replace `mattermost/platform` with `mattermost/platform:dev` in the instructions 3) and 4) above.
