Packaging the enterprise version of Mattermost

[girish]

I was mistaken. Community and Enterprise are different binaries.

• Team edition: https://releases.mattermost.com/X.X.X/mattermost-team-X.X.X-linux-amd64.tar.gz
• wget https://releases.mattermost.com/X.X.X/mattermost-X.X.X-linux-amd64.tar.gz

If you want to upgrade, it will overwrite binary. This is not something we can support. But maybe we can make a new package.

How annoying. Could you have a look into packaging the Enterprise version for us to see what would be involved?

[Sam_uk]

@Sam_uk Mattermost say:

"Shut down your instance and replace the mattermost-team-edition image in the dockerfile with mattermost-enterprise-edition image"

*Restart your instance

I don't think they've grasped that Cloudron is slightly more complex wrapper than a simple dockerfile, but it does suggest it should be a fairly straightforward job to fork the Cloudron package?

[girish]

@Sam_uk Yes, correct. The best way forward is to fork https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/mattermost-app . Then, replace the line in https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/mattermost-app/-/blob/master/Dockerfile#L11 with the enterprise binary link.

I don't think we are able to create a new package immediately. This requires some testing to know things work and we don't have a license.

But if you are able to do it fork and build and confirm things work, we can look into publishing this.

[Sam_uk]

@girish We get this unspecified error when we try to fork?

[girish]

@Sam_uk oh forks are limited by default because of spam. What is your id on gitlab?

[Sam_uk]

@girish could you give access to

https://gitlab.com/samuk1 please

[girish]

@Sam_uk that's the gitlab.com account. I need your account in git.cloudron.io

[Sam_uk]

@girish Could you give access to https://git.cloudron.io/lesteak please

[girish]

@Sam_uk you should be good to go!

[Sam_uk]

Thanks @girish Once we have it working and somewhat tested what would be the next steps? I can give you access to our Cloudron instance for some further testing?

[girish]

@Sam_uk sounds good!

@Sam_uk OK this seems to build and accept my licence. I've sent a user invite to support@cloudron.io so you could have a poke at it and see if you're happy to add to the appstore.

[girish]

@Sam_uk https://git.cloudron.io/lesteak/mattermost-enterprise/ is the repo correct?

[Sam_uk]

@girish Yes that's correct

[girish]

@Sam_uk Will take us a bit to get to it (after 7.4 probably), but I think you can continue running your custom build since they only release once a month or so. We will get to this at some point.

[Sam_uk]

@girish Great. You wouldn't anticipate any security implications from the change of binary?

[girish]

@Sam_uk hopefully not but I don't know what the mattermost enterprise specific settings are. Do they offer any diagnostic inside the admin dashboard?

[samuk]

Just bumping this, could you take a look at offering the enterprise?
