In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing Mattermost on the latest version of Kali Linux.
Before installing Mattermost, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Mattermost is a self-hosted messaging platform that can be installed on various platforms. Docker is one of the easiest ways to install Mattermost. Therefore, we will start the installation process with Docker installation.
To install Docker on Kali Linux, run the following commands in your terminal:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install docker.io
Now that you have Docker installed, let's download the Mattermost Docker image by executing the following command:
$ sudo docker pull mattermost/mattermost-preview
This will download the latest version of the Mattermost image on your system.
To create a container for Mattermost, run the following command:
$ sudo docker run --name mattermost-preview -d --publish 8065:8065 mattermost/mattermost-preview
This command will create a container named "mattermost-preview" and allocate the necessary ports. The "publish" parameter sets up the forwarding of incoming traffic to the necessary port.
Now that Mattermost is up and running, you can access it by opening your browser and visiting:
http://localhost:8065
You should see the Mattermost login page. You can now sign up or log in to your Mattermost account and start using the messaging platform.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Mattermost on Kali Linux using Docker. You can now use Mattermost messaging platform to communicate and collaborate with your team securely.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
