Moving to the Mattermost Operator for Kubernetes Deployments

To improve and simplify your Mattermost experience, we’ve deprecated legacy Kubernetes deployment methods.

We strongly recommend using the Mattermost Operator with Helm for your Kubernetes deployment. See the Deploy Mattermost on Kubernetes with Helm product documentation for details.

Deprecated Documentation
The following Mattermost Product Documentation pages are outdated and will be archived soon:

Why the Change?
Previous methods had issues, such as:

  • Misalignment with best practices.
  • Complexity, leading to user frustration.
  • Limited support for new Mattermost features.

The Mattermost Operator solves these problems by streamlining deployment, improving reliability, and aligning with Mattermost’s architecture.

How to Transition

  1. New Deployments: Use the Mattermost Operator to deploy Mattermost on Kubernetes.
  2. Migrate Existing Deployments: If currently using an old method, start planning your migration.
  3. Test Your Deployment : Validate your setup and report any issues encountered in this thread.
