How do I install Mattermost?
Pick one of your servers, choose Mattermost from the one-click catalog and give it a domain. Nuvlo starts the containers with generated passwords, points the domain and issues the certificate.
What size server does Mattermost need?
Heavy. Needs real memory. Plan for a mid-size server or one of its own.
What happens after install?
The first account created on first visit becomes the System Admin.
Is Mattermost backed up?
Yes. Apps are sites like any other, so they use the same backup schedules and your own storage bucket.
Who updates Mattermost?
You do. Mattermost keeps the version it was installed with; to move to a newer release, pull the new image on the server over SSH. The dashboard has no update button for apps.
Does Nuvlo charge per app?
No. You pay your Nuvlo plan and your cloud provider for the server, and Mattermost itself is free to self-host.
