Mattermost: 1. Authenticate

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. You can view the complete guide here: Start Mattermost, retrieve its credentials, and modify its configuration programmatically using the Stackhero CLI.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero provides a production-ready Mattermost cloud environment, designed for seamless collaboration and enhanced data protection. Key benefits include:

• Unlimited users and channels to support your team's growth without restriction.
• A dedicated SMTP email server with no additional limits, included as standard.
• Full control over your domain name, automatically secured with HTTPS (for example, https://chat.your-company.com).
• Updates made simple, managed in just one click.
• High performance and advanced security on a private, dedicated infrastructure: your data remains isolated and confidential.
• Hosting available in both 🇪🇺 Europe and 🇺🇸 USA regions.

You can get started in just a few minutes. Stackhero takes care of installation, security, and operational management for your Mattermost cloud hosting, providing you with a secure and scalable collaboration platform with minimal effort.

The simplest way to get started is to log in via your browser. When you run the login command, the CLI opens a web page where you can approve access. No passwords or 2FA codes are entered into the CLI itself.

Once logged in, your credentials are stored locally and will be used automatically by subsequent CLI commands.

For fully automated environments such as scripts or CI pipelines, you may prefer a non-interactive access token. You can create one from your dashboard (Account > Access tokens), then export it as an environment variable. The CLI, as well as any script you run, will automatically detect it.
