Mattermost
Purpose
Self-hosted team messaging, collaboration, ChatOps, incident coordination, calls, integrations and operational workflows.
Decision Summary
Strong self-hosted collaboration candidate, but edition limits require a pilot, security review, Calls/network testing and restore validation.
Use Cases
Internal collaboration; project channels; DevOps/ChatOps; incident response; playbooks; private-cloud and air-gapped collaboration.
Field Notes
Confirm edition first. Team Edition is intended below 250 activated users without SSO and is not recommended for government or sensitive commercial workloads.
Hardware Requirements
Official Linux minimum: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM and PostgreSQL 14+. CSI pilot: 2–4 vCPU, 4–8 GB RAM, SSD and monitored storage.
Backup Strategy
Encrypted versioned backups of PostgreSQL, configuration, files/object storage, plugins, integrations, certificates and manifests; onsite/offsite copies and tested restores.
Recovery Strategy
Rebuild from pinned versions, restore database/files/configuration, then validate auth, permissions, channels, files, integrations, Calls, search and retention.
Secure Boot Notes
Not applicable to the application; Secure Boot is an underlying host-platform control.
