Description

In addition to the package installation, the Mattermost One-Click VM also:

1- Enables UFW and allows SSH, HTTP, and HTTPS traffic only

2- Runs through an initial configuration wizard on the first login

3- (Optionally) Requests a LetsEncrypt certificate for your Fully-qualified Domain Name (FQDN)

After you create a Mattermost One-Click VM, log in to it with your configured SSH key and follow the instructions for the initial setup. The installer will request the following information:

4- Fully-qualified Domain Name for the VM. This is not configured as part of the VM creation – you must point it to VM IP.

5- MySQL Mattermost Password

6- MySQL Root Password

7- (Optional) Email. Used for LetsEncrypt Registration. If set, a confirmation is requested before submitting to LetsEncrypt.Please configure a secure password for both MySQL accounts with a password manager of your choice and store them securely.

Note: If you are not using the LetsEncrypt integration, you’ll need to manually configure the NGINX config that is located at “/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mattermost” to point to the correct certificates. Afterwards, restart NGINX with “Sudo systemctl restart nginx”.

After you finished the set up steps, open your configured domain and create your administrator account. Follow the Mattermost documentation for Getting Started here: https://docs.mattermost.com/deployment/on-boarding.html#getting-started-tasks
