Changing mattermost URL?

Troubleshooting
1

Hi there,

i made a mattermost-installation available on another URL, mm.internal.foo.com before and mm.foo.com now. My problem is, that i dont find a place to change the “base url” of the installation, which i need to do, because all invitation emails and notification contain the old, potential invalid url.

Can anyone help?

best regards

I have a related problem: I’m using the Elastic Beanstalk installation for a test drive of mattermost, and the AWS ELB to terminate HTTPS. Now in some places, such as mail authentication, MM generates links with HTTP instead of HTTPS as the protocol, which obviously doesn’t work. This would be easy to fix if I could set the “base url”.

The URL is set by looking at how the users access the site. So if you have users using the old URL they will send invites to the old URL.
Same thing for the HTTP vs HTTPs problem. I would suggest setting up a redirect from HTTP to HTTPs to get the users moved over.

Any update on this request? The web pages of mattermost don’t support “base url”. This makes me not being able to deploy mattermost in a kubernetes environment with ingress controller based on path:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: ingress-mattermost
  annotations:
    ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
    ingress.kubernetes.io/add-base-url: "true"
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /mattermost
        backend:
          serviceName: mattermost
          servicePort: 80

And the following error:

(index):1 Uncaught TypeError: window.setup_root is not a function

FYI,

As a temporary work-around I have added the following postStart hook to my deployment:

lifecycle:
  postStart:
    exec:
      command:
        - "/bin/sh"
        - "-c"
        - >
          cd /mattermost/webapp/dist/ ;
          sed -i -e 's|/static/|/mattermost/static/|g' *.html ;
          sed -i -e 's|api/v3|mattermost/api/v3|g' *.js ;
          sed -i -e 's|"/static/"|"/mattermost/static/"|g' *.js ;
