Mattermost: 1. Authenticate

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. View the full guide here: Start Mattermost, retrieve its credentials, and change its configuration programmatically with the Stackhero CLI.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero delivers a production-ready Mattermost cloud environment designed for seamless collaboration and strong data protection. Key advantages include:

• Unlimited users and channels for unrestricted team growth.
• A dedicated SMTP email server with no additional limits, included by default.
• Full control over your domain name, secured automatically with HTTPS (such as https://chat.your-company.com).
• Hassle-free updates managed in a single click.
• High performance and advanced security on a private, dedicated infrastructure: your data stays isolated and confidential.
• Hosting available in both 🇪🇺 Europe and 🇺🇸 USA regions.

You can get started in just minutes. Stackhero handles setup, security, and operational management for your Mattermost cloud hosting, providing a secure and scalable collaboration platform with minimal effort.

The easiest way to get started is by logging in through 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.

After logging in, your credentials are stored locally and will be used automatically by future CLI commands.

For fully automated environments like scripts or CI pipelines, you might 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, and any script you run, will pick it up automatically.
