Focalboard or Mattermost #74

Open cobordism opened 1 year ago

cobordism commented 1 year ago

I am a little confused about the relationship between mattermost and focalboard.

Especially in light of the change outlined here: https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/discussions/4645 I was wondering if this playbook will transition to installing mattermost with the boards plugin or if it will stay with the focalboard "community version".

thanks.

It's confusing, because they said they would only support it until April 2023, yet they continue making some new releases including this v7.11.0 prerelease from 5 days ago.

Looks like our version (currently focalboard_version: 7.9.3) is outdated. If you're using Focalboard, you may try adding focalboard_version: 7.11.0 to your vars.yml file and updating. Please confirm if it's OK, so we can bump the version in the ansbile-role-focalboard role repository.

We're not using Focalboard due to it lacking basic features to make it useful, so we can't test upgrades.

Otherwise, we have no plans for hosting Mattermost ourselves, but we're open to someone else coming up with a role (based on one of our other roles) and doing a PR for it.

If I install mattermost manually (using docker), how can I integrate it with the traefik reverse proxy?

By doing these:

By doing these:

* adding the appropriate container labels - you can get inspired from the labels for some of the other services

* connecting it to the `traefik` container network

can you give me a little help? I learned that I can add labels in the docker-compose.yml like so:

       traefik.docker.network: "traefik"
       traefik.enable: "true"

Is that what you mean? I also need to specify a Network: tag? should it be "traefik"? should it be set for the container?

I was trying to inspect the containers launched by mash, but it's a bit overwhelming. I wouldn't know where to start.

(for reference, I was doing this: https://docs.mattermost.com/install/install-docker.html#deploy-mattermost-on-docker-for-production-use )

or maybe another way: can I manually add another port / servername for trafaek to reverse proxy and manage ssl certificates and I do the rest manually completely independent of mash? I've been trying to get the mattermost docker to integrate with mash but it's too tangled and complex for the uninitiated.

focalboard is in the playbook, but is unmaintained https://github.com/mattermost-community/focalboard/issues/5038
