![]() ![]() ![]() Under File Settings in the System Console, change Store Files In to Amazon S3. Once you’re up and running, login to the Mattermost server and navigate to the System Console. Save and close the file, we’ll make some more changes later in the admin console.įollow steps 8 & 9 in the install guide to test and start the Mattermost server. Under the DataSource replace mmuser and mmuser_password with the credentials you specified during the creation of your PostgreSQL RDS instance.Īgain, under the DataSource replace 10.10.10.1 from the install guide with the endpoint address for your RDS instance. Use your favorite text editor to open ~/mattermost/config/config.json and once again reference the install guide (Step 7) to make the necessary modifications. You’ll need this access key in order for Mattermost to read and write to the bucket. You may want to create a user with its own access key in IAM at this point that only has access to the S3 bucket you’ve created. We will reference the bucket later in the configuration. S3 buckets need a globally unique name so do something like -mattermost-media. We’re hosting this on AWS, so let’s use S3 instead! Go ahead and create a new S3 bucket. Unzip the Mattermost server by typing tar -xvzf mattermost-team-X.X.Īt this point in the install guide it mentions creating a location on the server for storing files. Where X.X.X is the latest Mattermost release version. Referencing the Mattermost install guide, download the Mattermost server by typing In a terminal window or with Putty, SSH to your EC2 instance and create a new user such as ‘mattermost’ with limited privileges.Your RDS instance will only need inbound access on 5432 from the security group of the EC2 instance. 5432 is open only to the database’s security group. 485 is open so Mattermost can send emails over SMTP. Your EC2 instance will of course need to have inbound ports 80/443 open as well as 22 for SSH from your IP only.Ĩ0/443 are open to update the server. Verify that you have the correct inbound/outbound settings for your EC2 and RDS instance security groups. In the database options, name the database “mattermost”. Make sure to take note of the master username and password you specify. ![]() By using a db.t2.micro RDS instance (free tier!) as the database server, it actually simplifies many of the steps.ġ. Mattermost has their own install guidewhich is pretty thorough and very helpful. So far, I love it and thought I would share my experiences in using EC2, RDS, and S3 to host the application. I recently installed the open-source Slack alternative Mattermoson a personal t2.micro Ubuntu instance in AWS. ![]()
