Mattermost does open source the right way.
Mattermost is doing it the right way: designing and building a beautiful user experience, and backing it up with the awesomeness of open source. Now you can make your users happy, and benefit from the four freedoms… that’s the way to do it.
This script will take a clean Ubuntu 14.04 server on Digital Ocean and set it up to be used as a Mattermost server. It also takes care of securing the server.
