Storage that survives a restart
Mattermost is deployed with a persistent volume. They keep their contents across restarts, redeploys and resource changes, and can be resized later.
- mm_data — 10 GB — Uploads, plugins and configuration
How deployment works
- Click Deploy Mattermost and sign in to your Nexent Cloud workspace (or create one - it takes a minute).
- Name the app and adjust CPU, memory and storage if the defaults don't fit; the price updates as you go.
- Nexent provisions the containers, their persistent volumes and a
*.nexentcloud.comaddress with TLS. Add your own domain afterwards from the app's settings.
Questions about Mattermost hosting
How much does hosting Mattermost cost?
$7.05 a month, or $70.48 a year. That covers 1 vCPU, 2 GB of memory, 15 GB of persistent storage and 150 GB of bandwidth, with TLS and an address included. Resources can be changed afterwards and the price follows them.
How long does it take to deploy Mattermost?
About 10 min. Nexent Cloud pulls the image, attaches the storage it needs and issues a certificate for its address; you do not configure a server, a reverse proxy or a certificate renewal.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Every app gets an address on nexentcloud.com with TLS immediately, and you can point your own domain at it afterwards from the app’s settings - the certificate is issued and renewed for you.
Is my Mattermost data kept when it restarts?
Yes. Mattermost is deployed with a persistent volume (mm_data 10 GB), which survive restarts, redeploys and resource changes.
Can I move away later?
It is standard Mattermost, running in a container from the upstream image - not a fork and not a managed variant. Your data is on a volume you can back up and take with you.
