awesome, @coreyhulen, thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately, it looks like there is an error finding config.json when running that i pasted the output below for reference.

I’m really excited to get mattermost working for our teams to use, i welcome any ideas about how to get access to the system console! thanks!
edit: i figured i’d also add that I do have this file which has other changes from the /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file that are applied when i run gitlab-ctl reconfigure
