Howto

Install SSL certificate

You must install SSL certificate before starting. Put your SSL certificate as web/cert/cert.pem and the private key that has no password as web/cert/private/key-no-password.pem.

If you don't have them you can generate a self-signed SSL certificate.

(Re)start

1. Run docker-compose up -d.
2. Open https://your.domain with your web browser.

Stop

Run docker-compose stop.

Remove the containers

Run docker-compose stop && docker-compose rm.

Remove the data and settings of your mattermost instance

Remove volumes directory

Known Issues

• Do not modify the Listen Address in Service Settings.
• Rarely 'app' container fails to start because of "connection refused" to database. Workaround: Restart the container.
• Sometimes database connection is misconfigured. Workaround: Delete volumes/app/mattermost/config/config.json and restart the 'app' container.
