Mattermost frontend app for OS X, Windows and Linux

Matterfront

An application for Mattermost for OS X, Windows, and Linux, powered by Electron.

Configuring

Create a config.json file in the relevant directory for your platform:

• ~/Library/Application Support/Mattermost on OS X
• %APPDATA%/Mattermost on Windows
• ~/.config/Mattermost on Linux

Make it look like this:

{
    "url": "https://mattermost.example.com/team-name"
}

Including the team name is optional but makes things incredibly smoother if you have disabled account creation and log in exclusively with GitLab SSO.

In the future, this will be settable from the UI.

Testing

Place a config.json at the root of this project and execute make run.

Building your own app

This is useful to distribute the application preconfigured inside your company.

• place config.json inside src
• execute make dist
• optionally, make zip will compress the files for you.

In the future, doing this will lock the app into using only the configured URL.
