Mattermost docker preview

I am an arch newbie and I have been trying to install preview of mattermost(slack alternative) on docker to try it out. I have been following the official guide.

Arch

Install Docker using the following commands:

pacman -S docker
systemctl enable docker.service
systemctl start docker.service
gpasswd -a <username> docker
newgrp docker

Start Docker container:

docker run --name mattermost-preview -d --publish 8065:8065 mattermost/mattermost-preview

When Docker is done fetching the image, open http://localhost:8065/ in your browser.

Unfortunately I can't open the localhost:8065 service.

I have listed this issue in error trackers of both Docker https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/23730

I installed it on ubuntu 14.04 and still encountering the same problem.

Solution

  • In my case mysql is not yet ready at the time when mattermost starts.

    The solution is to clone the official repo to my local directory > Go into the directory > Edit docker-entry.sh file and change the line sleep 20 to some higher value like 100.

    After that execute

    docker build -t somename/mattermost . docker run --name mattermost-preview -d --publish 8065:8065 somename/mattermost

    If it still doesnt work replace 8065:8065 part with SomeRandomPort:8065 and execute above line with a different name for docker container.

    Thanks to https://github.com/joelnb for the solution.
