Self-hosted Mattermost with PostgreSQL in one click: root access, DDoS protection and locations in Europe and America.
American ExpressWhat is Mattermost hosting?
Mattermost gives your team one place to talk: channels for every project, threaded replies, file sharing and direct messages, with desktop and mobile apps that keep everyone in the loop. Instead of scattering decisions across email, your developers, ops people and partners discuss, share logs and react in real time. With Mattermost hosting at ZAP, that chat runs on your own VPS, installed in one click through Coolify with PostgreSQL included.
Because the VPS is yours, you decide where your messages live and who can reach them. Root access over SSH lets you add plugins, adjust the server configuration, connect webhooks for GitLab or Jira and run other team tools such as Gitea next to Mattermost via Coolify. The one-click deploy skips the manual PostgreSQL, Nginx and Site URL setup most tutorials walk through, so you start with a working instance.

Mattermost features
Message search, @mention alerts and GitLab or Jira integrations in your own Mattermost, deployed in one click and fully under your root access.
Start chatting instead of configuring: Coolify installs Mattermost with PostgreSQL and the Site URL set.
Find any decision again in seconds with full-text search across channels and threads.
Never miss an @mention: alerts land on desktop and mobile, exactly as you set them.
Keep GitLab, Jira and CI alerts in your channels through webhooks, bots and plugins.
Get things done without leaving the chat: type a slash command and see the result instantly.
Share logs, screenshots and docs right in the conversation, stored on your own VPS.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Your Mattermost VPS starts at €7.29 per month with the ZAP Spark package. The price depends on the package and the term, and at some locations a regional surcharge applies. ZAP charges no per-user fee, so adding colleagues doesn't change the server price. Mattermost offers a free self-hosted edition; paid Mattermost licenses are bought from Mattermost and are separate from the server.
One-click apps need at least 2 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores and 30 GB storage, the platform minimum for Coolify and the app. Mattermost and its PostgreSQL database run together on that base. Your needs grow with the number of active users, the volume of messages and uploaded files, and extra plugins. You can move to a larger package later as your team grows. Upgrading your VPS in the Help Center
Not in a practical way. Mattermost runs as a permanent server process with its own PostgreSQL database and WebSocket connections for real-time messages, which typical shared web hosting doesn't provide. A VPS gives you those resources plus root access, and at ZAP the setup is a one-click install.
Order a VPS, open the app installer in the ZapX panel and pick Mattermost. Coolify deploys the Mattermost server together with a PostgreSQL database and sets the Site URL from your app domain. The VPS is online in 60 seconds; the app deploy via Coolify adds a little time. You keep full root access via SSH for mmctl, plugins and your own changes. How one-click apps work
On your VPS, Mattermost messages and files stay on your own server at the location you choose. You pay a fixed server price per package and term, while Slack typically bills per user. Managed Mattermost hosting takes server administration off your hands, while your own VPS gives you root access, free choice of plugins and full control over versions and data. In return, you handle updates and operation yourself.
In the ZapX panel, check the installed app for updates and apply a new version with one click. As a manual alternative, you can redeploy the instance yourself in Coolify. Before larger version jumps, read the official Mattermost upgrade guide. A daily automatic Backup is included; with the ZapX Pass you can also create your own Backup before the update and restore it yourself.
Yes. A subdomain is optional and managed by ZapX: either a platform domain or your own domain in your ZAP account whose DNS ZapX can edit. ZapX creates the DNS records during installation, and Coolify issues the HTTPS certificate via Let's Encrypt. Without a managed subdomain, Mattermost is only reachable via a default URL (http://<service>.<ip>.sslip.io) over HTTP without a certificate.
Yes. The official Mattermost apps for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux connect to your own Mattermost server. Enter your server URL, ideally your managed subdomain with HTTPS, sign in, and your team's channels, threads and files appear on every device.
Locations in Europe and America: FFM/Eygelshoven, Ashburn, Dallas and Los Angeles. Pick the one closest to your users; many North American teams start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. Every location includes PletX DDoS protection for your VPS network traffic. More about PletX DDoS protection
Yes, cancel anytime in the ZapX panel. You choose a term of 3, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days, and a cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term. Until then, your Mattermost instance keeps running as usual. How cancellation works
