Mattermost is a messaging and collaboration platform that allows teams to communicate and collaborate in real-time. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Mattermost on NetBSD.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Git is a version control system that will help you manage the Mattermost source code. To install Git, run the following command:
pkgin update && pkgin install git
Mattermost requires several dependencies to run correctly. You can install them by running the following command:
pkgin install go cmake curl postgresql-server openldap-client
Now, let's clone the Mattermost repository using Git:
git clone https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server.git
cd mattermost-server
To build Mattermost, run the following command:
make build
Once the build is complete, you need to edit the configuration file. Copy the sample configuration file and then make the necessary changes:
cp config/config.json{.sample,}
vi config/config.json
In the configuration file, make sure to set the correct database credentials and SMTP settings.
To start the Mattermost server, run the following command:
./bin/platform
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8065/ to access the Mattermost web interface. You should be able to log in and start using Mattermost.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Mattermost on NetBSD!
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!
