Quickstart: Set up GitLab Mattermost¶

From a fresh install of GitLab, here's what I did:

I wanted to run GitLab Mattermost at "https://mattermost.secretbank.org". I created an A record that pointed to the IP of my GitLab instance.

Per the getting started docs, I then added this line to gitlab.rb:

mattermost_external_url 'https://mattermost.secretbank.org'

Now, gitlab-ctl reconfigure

Browse to https://mattermost.secretbank.org
Authorize GitLab to act as your SSO provider for GitLab Mattermost

What version of GitLab Mattermost do I have?¶

Use this get-gitlab-mattermost-version.sh snippet.

The snippet (presently) amounts to:

cd /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/mattermost/i18n
# root@bcarranza-omnibus-delta:/opt/gitlab/embedded/service/mattermost/i18n# 
/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/chpst -e /opt/gitlab/etc/mattermost/env -P -U mattermost:mattermost -u mattermost:mattermost /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/mattermost --config=/var/opt/gitlab/mattermost/config.json version
