Apps / Mattermost
Managed Mattermost hosting.
One server, no app limits.
Self-hosted team chat. Your conversations on your server, not someone else’s cloud.
What it is
Mattermost is self-hosted team chat: channels, threads, search, and integrations in the Slack shape, with the message history on your server and no per-user meter running.
Minimum RAM
2 GB
Fits on SC-2GB; SC-4GB is the comfortable pick with room to stack.
What we install
The playbook deploys the current Mattermost Team Edition with PostgreSQL, HTTPS forced, file storage on local NVMe, push notifications configured, and mail through the managed gateway for invites and digests.
What managed covers
Platform, database, and server updates with snapshots first; daily snapshots plus dual offsite backups of messages and files; monitoring, the managed firewall, and deliverable email.
The app is $0. The managed server is the only bill, and everything above is part of it.
What does managed Mattermost hosting include?
A production Mattermost with its Postgres, SSL, backups covering the full message history, monitoring, and mail, at flat server pricing. The Slack bill becomes a server bill that does not grow per hire.
Why self-host team chat?
History and headcount. SaaS chat charges per user and holds your history hostage to the subscription; self-hosted Mattermost keeps every message searchable forever on hardware you control, and adding the eleventh employee costs nothing.
Do integrations and apps work?
Yes: webhooks, slash commands, and the integrations directory work as documented, and a Gitea or GitLab on the same server posts commits and CI results into channels over localhost.
Can Mattermost share the server?
Yes. Chat plus Nextcloud plus Gitea is a common self-hosted office trio on one managed server, and each addition stays $0. If it fits the meter, it runs.

Frequently asked questions
How much RAM does Mattermost need?
2 GB with Postgres carries a small team well; count 4 GB past a few dozen active users or heavy file sharing.
Do mobile apps and notifications work?
Yes, the official iOS and Android apps connect to your server, and the playbook configures the push notification path.
Is our history backed up?
Daily, twice offsite, database and file uploads both. Restores of the whole workspace or a point in time are a request.
