Mattermost use some analytics from segment.com
You can see them from the console of your browser.

Please remove this by a patch. It's not really what we expected from a open source app !
And more from a YunoHost app !

For now the installation is only possible at the root of a domain. This is not very flexible, and prevents installing Mattermost on the main domain of a Yunohost instance.

A configuration option could be added to install Mattermost in a subdirectory if needed.

Hey @kemenaran ,

Just letting you know that we have a new Security Bulletin mailing list and I encourage you to sign up for it as well.

This mailing list will receive an email about a new Mattermost security release so that installers can update to that new version.

The admin email and password, and the name of the first Team could be configured from the Yunohost installation questions.

It would make the first onboarding easier.

Hi, thanks for your work.

I just wanted to point out that the Android app was not working with the current version of the Mattermost package for Yunohost.

Thanks again to you

For now most of package_check tests are disabled, because it's hard to test them locally.

Find a way to enable more of them.

Hi ;)
notification mail are bugged (perhaps only on my server ?)
the link is https://mat.krashboyz.org/krashboyz/krashboyz/pl/
i think it should be https://mat.krashboyz.org/krashboyz/pl/

How/Where can i modify it please ?

mattermost version: 4.6.0-1

Thx for your (dayly) Help :D

Currently the scripts don't use many of the Yunohost helper functions.

They could make the scripts more readable and less error-prone. Although this would require to bump the minimum required Yunohost version to 2.6.4.

Hi ,
could someone help me to debug please ?
i just installed mattermost, but it's like the service is unknown by the system ...

yunohost -v

Hey @kemenaran,

Just wanted to inform you that Mattermost 3.5 release has been cut.

The new release contains security updates and several API changes - you can view the full changelog for Mattermost 3.5 here and find download links with hash numbers here

Wondering if you'd like to help update the Yunohost Installer to be compatible with Mattermost 3.5?

If you do update, please consider tweeting about it, which we can then retweet for greater reach.

Also, feel free to join the Mattermost Installers community channel for latest news relevant for installer owners.

It seems the mattermost data directory at /home/yunohost.app/mattermost/data is lost during backup and restore.

First, thanks for packagging mattermost, it's awesome !

I got one concern about the way you add app sources during installation ( https://github.com/kemenaran/yunohost-mattermost/blob/master/scripts%2Finstall#L64-L68 )
Adding a executable binary file in your repository is not really recommended; I'd rather download original source from Github as mentionned in the upstream documentation

I could provide a patch in the next few days if you don't have time to do that.

thx again

Hello. Great app.

Though after installing I noticed while browsing after awhile it'll say this:
https://i.godhub.xyz/07-09-2019-vYbDk5Icln.png

so I checked the websocket info in console ans saw this:
https://i.godhub.xyz/07-09-2019-dUw04kGA0F.png

according to Mattermost documentation this has something to do with the proxy configuration?

Mattermost needs permissions to write in the /var/log directory. Currently we only give permission to the mattermost user to write in /var/log/mattermost.log, which may be insufficient.

The issue never occured for now – but as errors when writing log files tend to crash the whole server, this better be cleaned up.

Hello,

The community list uses an old commit for your app.
Since your app has some corrections, would you please update the community list if possible.

For the Apps group.

Hi all,
mattermost was working fine before a reboot, since the reboot i have this error in /var/log/nginx/blahblah.mattermost-error.log :

upstream sent no valid HTTP/1.0 header while reading response header from upstream

could someone help me please ?

For now there is a basic script to create a backup – but not to restore an existing backup.

Bonjour,
Il serait bien, pour une meilleure gestion des applications et une meilleure gestion des contributions, que toutes les apps rejoignent l'organisation Yunohost-Apps.
Merci,
frju365

Hello,
To manage in a better way the contributions and the Apps, we invite you to change the ownership of your app to Yunohost-Apps Organization.
Thanks,

There are multiple types of encryption with Mattermost

1.TLS
https://docs.mattermost.com/install/config-tls-mattermost.html
2.Encryption options at the disk level are documented both for MySQL and PostgreSQL.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/encryption-options.html
3. Minio ( basically storage server)
4. encryption-at-rest is available for files stored via hardware and software disk encryption solutions applied to the server

So 1 and 2 or implemented by default or not? and if not how can i set them up while using yunohost
and if you can provide some info about 4 that would be cool

can u please make the apps compatible with a raspberry
1960 WARNING Mattermost requires an x86_64 machine, but this one is 'armv7l'.
thanks to u for now i have this wen i try to install

thanks for u

The Yunohost Linter has been upgraded, and now wants scripts to use more helpers (instead of unsafe shell script commands).

My name is Jason Blais and I'm a product manager for the Mattermost open source project.

Mattermost is moving to new APIv4 endpoints, which will allow for more powerful integrations and server interaction.

As part of this move, we will be moving the WebSocket endpoint to APIv4 in Q3 of 2017 (tentatively scheduled for July 16, 2017 release). This will result in a breaking change for deployments using a reverse proxy.

For those configuring NGINX proxy, just a single one-line change is required, replacing the location /api/v3/users/websocket { line with location ~ /api/v[0-9]+/(users/)?websocket$ { in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/mattermost NGINX configuration file. We've noted this in our documentation.

I'm opening an issue so we can discuss if any changes are needed for the Yunohost package, as we weren't sure what kind of configuration is recommended on your end.

I have the current up to date versions of Debian and YUNoHost installed. This is what the current version of MySQL YUNoHost uses for MySQL "mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.0.25-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2"(What I get when I run "mysql --version"). When I try to install this app I get this error message, "Error: Requirements are not met, the package mysql-common (5.5.49-0+deb8u1) must be >= 5.6". What can we do to fix this? I would love to use Mattermost on my YUNoHost server.

The app don't open in https itself and https has to be manually typed so that app can use secure connection.

Only the bash install worked.

Maybe setting the passwor is a problem in the webpage?

Does the admin interface fuck up passwords after 63+ characters? Do you know this? It was already an issue with another app...

thx for your help

everything is in the title :/
i'm damned ....

I am trying to install Mattermost on my Yunohost instance. I have selected my main domain as installation target but get an error like:

Warning: Unable to install the app in this location

Any ideas?

Hello,

and I get an error when I want to change settings (passwd, main URL,...) :

Have you got any idea to solve it ?
Thanks,

Upgrade to Mattermost 4.2.0 is on hold because of mattermost/mattermost#7456

The value of the FileLocation config variable needs to be fixed during the installation process.

Hello,

During an upgrade the actual official repo version (the one without any restore script), it failed.
Mattermost service can't start.
Then I tried to remove it, and do a fresh install. Same result.
Note: I used the official app repo, and the version is different from this master, but it doesn't work better with master.

I have this error when trying to start the service : mattermost.service: control process exited, code=exited status=124

When checking the details with journalctl -xn, I have this message failed to reset devices.list on /system.slice/mattermost.service

Do you know what's going on ?

SiteURL is now a required value in the configuration file. We should configure it automatically on install.

If not present, the domain in the email confirmation link is invalid.

Instead of downloading, unpacking and copying in place Mattermost sources, we can use the ynh_setup_source helper, with an app.src manifest that describes the source to download and install.

Currently the package downloads the tarball for the Entreprise Edition, and not the free Community Edition.

Feature-wise, this is stricly the same (Entreprise Edition features are not unlocked unless a serial key is provided). But this creates a licensing problem, as the EE doesn't have a free licence (and the CE does).

• Fix the URLs and provide the CE instead
• Ensure that migration from EE to CE works properly

Hi @kemenaran,

Saw your work for Yunohost package for Mattermost and we'd love to help share it with the Mattermost community. Would you be open to sharing more about your work? https://www.mattermost.org/share-your-mattermost-projects/

Also, we'd like to welcome you to join the integrations community on our nightly builds server, if you'd like: https://pre-release.mattermost.com/core/channels/integrations

Wonderful work!

From the nice tip given by @alexAubin:

ProTip™ : possibly you can now set the commit to 'HEAD', to use the latest commit of master automatically in the future. If you do this, it is strongly recommended to use a 'testing' branch for changes that are not deemed stable yet.

I need to decide if a want to create a "testing" branch (and merge it every month or so into "master"), or keep merging into "master" and create a "yunohost-apps-list" branch.

When starting the Mattermost service, systemd has no way to know whether the server launched successfully or not.

There is a kludge to work around this: after launching the server, we wait for the port 8085 to be available (and bail out after 10s). If the server crashes at startup before listening to the port, or if it gets into an infinite loop, systemd will mark it as failed.

It works, but it is still a piece of hard-to-maintain shell script. It also forces us to have a __PORT__ variable in the systemd service config, which we have to replace at install time by the port number.

The correct way to do this is to send a READY=1 message on some specific socket – so that systemd knows that our service started properly.

This should be implemented upstream in Mattermost.

See https://yunohost.org/#/packaging_apps_guidelines_en

Mattermost allows integrating the accounts with an LDAP system. This would let Mattermost users use the same credentials than their Yunohost account.

However LDAP integration is only available in Mattermost Entreprise, which users need to pay for.

Is it worth supporting features that users need to pay for?

Pros:

• Paying for software is good, it helps supporting a viable system ;
• Mattermost paid features are actually open-source (behind a feature-flag).

Cons:

• Harder to developers to test without paying for a license ;
• Looks like free work to support a revenue-generating feature for Mattermost.

related to YunoHost/issues#1231

For now the following checks are disabled in check_process:

setup_private=0
multi_instance=0
port_already_use=0 (XXXX)
change_url=0

We should try to make more of these checks pass.

Currently the package uses supervisor to manage the server start and shutdown.

We should use instead a systemd script:

• More in line with what the rest of the system does,
• No need to install an extra dependency (as supervisor is not installed by default).

This would require Debian 8 "Jessie" as the minimum version for installing Mattermost.

Currently the test.sh script duplicates a lot of work done by the official Yunohost testing tool, package_check. test.sh executes tests, keeps track of snapshots, and so on.

This could be replaced by simply running package_check in our VM, and forget about manual snapshot management and so on.

The difficulty is to make LXC containers actually work in the VM: it seems there are a lot of subte issues that need to be fixed one by one. For some of them there are already PR opened upstream.

hi,
i would install matermost since a long time but can't because my mysql version wasn't good as said in the readme.md ,
i migrate it to mariadb as explained in https://forum.yunohost.org/t/impossible-dinstaller-mattermost-en-commande-de-ligne/3191/7 with success,
so i purpose including this "tips" in the readme.md

i still have a 502 error, but i think it's another trouble not linked with the db version ;)
the install ended with success

Hello

Your app failed to install.
I've mainly an error with mysql version. Even if you inform on working version of mysql, this is a blocking error on fresh Yunohost install.

See the log for more information:
http://jenkins-ci-arm.noho.st/jenkins/logs/github.com_kemenaran_mattermost_ynh.log

So, your app will be decreased at Notworking status untill these errors be corrected.
