I’ve gone through the setup steps a number of times, trying recommended settings for a proxy pass-through using nginx.
I’ve got my domain set up, and the droplet has a LetsEncrypt certificate (via certbot), which produces an A rating from www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/. But the only configuration I can get to work for the app itself is to use http and the mattermost default port of :8065.
I seem to be caught in a catch-22 between Mattermost SSL configs and the droplet’s nginx configs, and perhaps how certbot alters the nginx configs.
I’m happy to do more legwork if you could point me at any other guidance about using https with the Marketplace implementation of Mattermost (which I very much appreciate).

I just tested and got it working. Here are the exact steps I took:
- Deploy mattermost one-click
- Point a domain at your Mattermost droplet. In my case I pointed a subdomain at it by adding an A-Record to my domain.
- Go through initialization steps (create a user and a team)
- SSH into droplet and run
sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /opt/mattermost/bin/mattermostto give mattermost access to lower range ports ref - Go to http://YOUR.DROPLET.IP:8065/admin_console/general/configuration
- Set site URL to
https://your.domain(the same domain you configured in step 2) - Set Listen Address to
:443 - Forward port 80 to 443 to
true - Connection Security:
TLS - Use Lets Encrypt
true
- Set site URL to
- Finally run
sudo systemctl restart mattermoston the server.
Now (after about a minute) you should be able to go to https://your.domain and see the mattermost login
