What is Mattermost hosting?

Self-hosted Mattermost on your own VPS.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Mattermost

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.

  • Fixed VPS price per package and term
  • Longer terms lower the monthly price
  • No per-user fee from ZAP

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

  • Minimum: 2 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores, 30 GB storage
  • More users and files need more RAM and storage
  • Upgrade your package later as your team grows

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.

  • Permanent server process and own database
  • WebSockets for real-time messaging
  • Root access for plugins and configuration

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

  • One-click install from the ZapX panel
  • PostgreSQL database included
  • Full root access via SSH

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.

  • Data stays on your own VPS
  • Fixed server price instead of per-user billing
  • You control updates and configuration

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.

  • Update check in the ZapX panel
  • Manual redeploy via Coolify as an alternative
  • Your own Backups & restores with ZapX Pass

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.

  • No manual A or CNAME records needed
  • Let's Encrypt certificate with a managed subdomain
  • Manual DNS entry only for domains ZapX can't manage

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.

  • Official apps for mobile and desktop
  • Connect with your server URL
  • Same channels and files on every device

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

  • Cancel anytime
  • Terms of 3, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of the term

Why is my Mattermost so slow during the day?
I'd start by comparing CPU and RAM usage with your active users and checking the Mattermost and PostgreSQL logs. If memory is regularly maxed out, a larger package is the cleanest fix. Want me to collect the current usage for you?
Yes, please check it.
Once you confirm here in the chat, I'll read the current CPU and RAM values and the latest log entries and summarize what stands out.
