mattermost-buildpack

This buildpack aims at installing a Mattermost instance on Scalingo and let you configure it at your convenance.

Usage

Simply deploy by cliking on this button:

Or create an app. You must have an add-on database postgresql or mysql. Add this buildpack environment variable to your Scalingo application to install the Mattermost server:

BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/MTES-MCT/mattermost-buildpack#main

And other environment variables are set by example in a .env.sample file.

PORT and SCALINGO_POSTGRESQL_URL are provided by Scalingo.

Addon configuration by default:

MM_SQLSETTINGS_DRIVERNAME=postgres # if required replace by mysql
MM_SQLSETTINGS_DATASOURCE=$SCALINGO_POSTGRESQL_URL # SCALINGO_POSTGRESQL_URL is provided by scalingo at app boot step

Warning ⚠️: you should copy the database url in MM_SQLSETTINGS_DATASOURCE and change sslmode if prefer is unknown by mattermost.

By default the buildpack install the latest release enterprise edition:

MATTERMOST_EDITION= # enterprise by default, set team if you prefer
MATTERMOST_VERSION=latest # latest release by default, you can change with specific version

All other environment variables are specific to mattermost, see documentation.

You can also persist your config in each build and deploy:

MM_CONFIG=$SCALINGO_POSTGRESQL_URL # persists config in database

You can list plugins to install at build:

## From marketplace set ids
MATTERMOST_MARKETPLACE_PLUGINS=com.github.matterpoll.matterpoll,memes
## From Github set owner/repo
MATTERMOST_GITHUB_PLUGINS=blindsidenetworks/mattermost-plugin-bigbluebutton,scottleedavis/mattermost-plugin-remind

Hacking

You set environment variables in .env:

cp .env.sample .env

Run an interactive docker scalingo stack:

docker run --name mattermost -it -p 8065:8065 -v "$(pwd)"/.env:/env/.env -v "$(pwd)":/buildpack scalingo/scalingo-18:latest bash

And test in it:

bash buildpack/bin/detect
bash buildpack/bin/env.sh /env/.env /env
bash buildpack/bin/compile /build /cache /env
bash buildpack/bin/release

Run Mattermost server:

export PATH=$PATH:/build/mattermost/bin
mattermost server

You can also use docker-compose in order to test with a complete stack (db, s3, smtp):

docker-compose up --build -d

You can test postdeploy (install plugins list):

bash /app/mattermost/bin/postdeploy

.env.sample is configured to work with this stack. You just need to create the bucket mattermost in minio.
