Packaging the enterprise version of Mattermost

[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?

[Sam_uk]

Further bump. I may be able to fund this work if that helps. Getting outdated server warnings in the UI

Thanks

Sam

@Sam_uk yeah, bizzarely, the whole 9.3 series has disappeared from https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/releases

[Sam_uk]

Odd! Is a upgrade to 9.4x possible?

[girish]

@Sam_uk yes, I pushed it out yesterday

[Sam_uk]

Are you up for packaging the Enterprise one too?
https://git.cloudron.io/lesteak/mattermost-enterprise/

[girish]

@Sam_uk I think we have to check whether it's possible to test updates reliably with enterprise version. Do you know if it's possible to migrate from CE to EE and vice-versa? I am wondering if this should be a separate package or the same package.

[Sam_uk]

AFAIK they call CE 'Teams edition' an upgrade is possible https://docs.mattermost.com/upgrade/upgrading-mattermost-server.html#upgrading-team-edition-to-enterprise-edition not sure about downgrade

[Sam_uk]

This is what we did to get it working https://git.cloudron.io/lesteak/mattermost-enterprise/-/compare/master...master?from_project_id=98

@Sam_uk thanks. It says "To upgrade from the Team Edition to the Enterprise Edition, follow the normal upgrade instructions provided above, making sure that you download the Enterprise Edition of Mattermost Server in Step 2." . So maybe we should just do a single package which supports both Team Edition and Enterprise Edition in same package.

[Sam_uk]

I defer to your judgement on that. I don't really understand it well enough to offer an opinion.

[Sam_uk]

Do you think you'll be able to have a look at this one this week?

[girish]

@Sam_uk We don't have an enterprise license to test. Do you have one already? Will you able to test it out for us if we make a package that has both the enterprise and team binaries?

[Sam_uk]

Yeah definitely. I can give you access to that no problem

[girish]

@Sam_uk I have pushed a new package now (as unstable). After you update, edit /app/data/edition.ini . Change it to enterprise and restart the app. Let me know how it goes.

[Sam_uk]

Thanks!

I updated my dev.mattermost instance and then looked for /app/data/edition.ini but couldn't find it. Do I need to do a fresh install?

[girish]

@Sam_uk are you on package version 1.82.0 ?

[Sam_uk]

It says .mattermost.cloudronapp?version=1.81.0 .

Just upgrading to latest now, it wasn't showing the update earlier

[Sam_uk]

That all seems to work, thanks!

Now I just need to transition my current /live site (custom app) to start using the 'mainline' Cloudron app packaging again?

Any guidance on how to best do that?
