Mattermost is an open-source, self-hosted team communication platform that can be accessed through a web interface or a desktop application. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Mattermost on macOS.
Download the latest version of Mattermost from https://mattermost.org/download.
Extract the downloaded file to a new directory:
tar -xvzf Mattermost-x.x.x.tar.gz
Install docker if you haven't already been done so:
brew install docker
Navigate to the extracted Mattermost directory and run the following command to build the Mattermost docker image:
docker-compose build
Start the Mattermost server by running the following command:
docker-compose up
By default, Mattermost should run on port 8065. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8065. The Mattermost home page should be loaded.
Create an admin account by filling the form with the desired username and password.
Once you log in with your admin account, you can create teams and channels to start using Mattermost.
In this tutorial, we have provided step-by-step instructions to install and configure Mattermost on macOS. You can now use it as a team communication platform for your business or personal use.
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!
