Someone's privileged Mattermost scripts.

• These scripts need DB- and Filesystem-access.

Beware: These scripts run regularily and are well tested. BUT by using these scripts, MM inc. may refuse to help you, if you run into (unrelated) issues with your MM.

It all started with me starting to write my own DB+FS cleaner, after posting this: https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457/suggestions/15357861 But eventually grew to include other scripts too.

consider running as cronjobs:

00 23 * * *   (cd /srv/mattermost/mattermost-privileged; git pull --recurse-submodules=yes; git gc) &>/dev/null
55 23 * * *   (cd /srv/mattermost/mattermost-privileged/maintenance; python3 -Bu db.py |tee /tmp/maintenance_db.log; python3 -Bu fs.py echo ""; du -sch /srv/mattermost/data/* | tail)
59 11 * * MON (cd /srv/mattermost/mattermost-privileged/profile_badges; python3 -Bu main.py)
0 0 * * 2-7   (cd /srv/mattermost/mattermost-privileged/stats; python3 -Bu main.py)
0 0 * * MON   (cd /srv/mattermost/mattermost-privileged/stats; python3 -Bu main.py week)

maintenance

• permanently deletes {"deleted",orphaned,old,unused} MM-db data and unreferenced files.
• fix db-health degrading issues MM has (had?).
• 'delete' System-Spam messages and "Posts marked for deletion"
• enforce our system-policy (Can/must be enabled separately; Likely only makes sense for our instances)
  • Deleting inactive Channels + Users/Guests.

Beware: running this WILL break your instance's audit-trails. This IS intended behavior

profile_badges

• Sets custom profile badges, needs DB access for post-count based badges.

stats

• various stats posted into channels.
