Mattermost and Gitlab

Miek Gieben — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0100

For years now Gitlab has bundled Mattermost as an integrated component for online chats, however this situation is changing, and Mattermost has announced that it is dropping support for single-sign-on (SSO). This is turn makes the integration with Gitlab unusable, thus Gitlab is now pondering dropping support altogether.

This is unfortunate timing as we are working on tighter integration between science groups and Mattermost channels.

Provisional Plan

So what are we going to do about this? For chat, we have been looking at Zulip for a while now. This a stand alone, 100% open source chat server that works just like Mattermost. It’s supports OpenID, so we can hook up to diy for SSO.

C&CZ recently installed a GitLab Pages server. With GitLab Pages, you can publish static websites directly from a repository in GitLab. To publish a website with Pages, you can use any static site generator, like Hugo, Harp, Mkdocs, or Hexo. You can also publish any website written directly in plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
