Why doesn’t Mattermost start at system boot?#
To have the Mattermost Server start at system boot, the systemd until file needs to be enabled. Run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable mattermost.service
Why does Mattermost fail to start at system boot?#
If your database is on the same system as your Mattermost Server, we recommend editing the default /lib/systemd/system/mattermost.service systemd unit file to add After=postgresql.service and BindsTo=postgresql.service to the [Unit] section.
Can I run Mattermost without a proxy?#
Yes. Mattermost binds to 443 instead of 8065. The Mattermost binary requires the correct permissions to do that binding. You must activate the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability to allow the new Mattermost binary to bind to ports lower than 1024 by running the following command:
sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep ./mattermost/bin/mattermost
Note
We highly recommend using a proxy in front of Mattermost server for up to 200 concurrent users. If you have fewer than 200 concurrent users, you can set up TLS. If you’re exceeding 200 concurrent users, you’ll need a proxy, such as NGINX, in front of Mattermost to manage the traffic.
