Tutorial for a working matteircd example using docker images

[tuxdna]

I used Docker images on a Fedora 23 x64 machine:

docker pull mattermost/platform
docker run --name mattermost-dev -d --publish 8065:80 mattermost/platform

Visit the address http://localhost:8065/ then

• create an account [email protected] ( user hello , and password hello ),
• and also an organization named temporary

docker run -d -p 6667:6667 --name ircd xyproto/matterircd -mmserver localhost -mmteam temporary -interface 0.0.0.0

Then opened IRC client ( e.g. xchat ), and in an new server tab and enter:

/server localhost

This connecs to the matterircd IRC server, and login:

/msg mattermost login hello hello
LOGIN hello@localhost hello

Next step fails:

/j #town-square for which I get Cannot join join (Channel is invite only)

This seems to connect and refuse, but not yet fully working.

I think there needs to be a working demo example using Docker images. That will enable someone to evaluate IRC integration.

Mattermost is a fast-moving target lots of internal changes that breaks older versions of matterircd.
The matterircd docker image also doesn't seem to be up to date.

But you can get it running if you fix your setup.

• Mattermost must run on port 80 (if using http), or 443 (if using https), matterircd has no support for other ports yet. And you must specify version 2.0

docker run --name mattermost-dev -d --publish 80:80 mattermost/platform:2.0

• Because you're running http you need the -mminsecure parameter. Also the -mmserver is not localhost because that will try to connect to the inside of the docker container. You'll need to specify to ip address of your docker host. So change -mmserver 1.2.3.4 to your ip. Also specify -debug so you can get more information what went wrong.

docker run -d -p 6667:6667 --name ircd xyproto/matterircd -mmserver 1.2.3.4 -mmteam temporary -interface 0.0.0.0 -mminsecure -debug

If you follow this, it should work.

Any tutorial, maybe by combining your and mine posts is welcome :-)

The tutorial from @maxandersen works! I think we can close this issue now.

@maxandersen Would you mind adding your information to https://github.com/42wim/matterircd/wiki ?

[maxandersen]

did a quick'n'dirty copy/paste of the info.
