Yes I want to revive this topic because we have a new package to test, with Mattermost 5.12 freshly backed by @giacomo.
Who wants to test it?
new install:
yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing install nethserver-mattermost
update
yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing update nethserver-mattermost
More information:
OK, I was really thinking, NS is a stable super complete Server, but I have to say, putting Mattermost into it is genius. I love it and we already use it in production.
Thank you so much for your work.
Another great job done.
Updating now…
I already updated some weeks ago:
Mattermost Enterprise Edition
Modern communication from behind your firewall.
Mattermost Version: 5.12.2
Database Schema Version: 5.12.0
Database: postgres
But Rocket Chat has LDAP Integration and i think that it has all the mattermost features.
What do you consider to have mattermost than rocket chat no?
@uebmaster
I think there is not that much difference. Both applications will ‘do the job’ as a corporate communications tool. I’d love to see a rocketchat module for NethServer. If you want you could try to install it and please document your steps so more members can try.
i am noob, I saw that some people contribute modules but really do not know how they do it, it’s just a matter of installing the software as you normally would or is there some kind of specific syntax of the nethserver distro?
Trying to install and tell here what you encounter is a first start. There are many howto’s already on the internet that lead you to install rocjketchat on centos7 (the OS that NethServer is built on)
Try to follow those install howto’s and see if you can get rocketchat working on NethServer.
I would suggest to use a virtual ebvironment so you can take snapshots (images) of your virtual server before you change anything. If something goes wrong, you can easily roll back. Even on a regular pc with Virtualbox or VMWare workstation (whatever virtualization solution you like or have) it is perfectly possible to do this.
Be aware we are talking about installing the SERVER part of rocketchat, not the client software where you actuialy chat with.

Just to point to a few options. There are many more.
Will you take up the challenge? We can help you with every step when you run into problems or errors.
i have seen ldap settings on mattermost config json.
so am curious if when configured it will actually work.
Mattermost with LDAP Sync is a paid product.

True, only mattermost enterprise edition offers the ldap authentication
Hi Pagaille,
I saw this message, and I want to ask you if you can help me to configure Mattermost, I have already nethserver running, trying to configure, but I can’t, and I already spent a lot of time, just tell me prettending that you just installed nethserver what will be the steps to get Mattermost running, like walk me throughout, please I will appreciate if you help me, thanks.
Hi,
Never mind, I got it done.
@giancarlos if you have time, you can share your experience about “how I would like to know about configuring Mattermost” 
I’m happy to see that you found your way. I believe that the installation is pretty straightforward thanks to the module that takes care of mainly everything.
Welcome here BTW
