[Support] Rocket.Chat


Recommended Posts

Application Name: Rocket.Chat

Application Site: https://rocket.chat/

Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/library/rocket.chat/

Github: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat

Template-Repository: https://github.com/fanningert/unraid-docker-templates

 

Requirements:

  •  Mondo-DB (There is a mondoDB docker image for unraid in the CA)

 

Installation (external MongoDB):

  1. Install and Start MongoDB
  2. Install Rocket.Chat docker
  3. Change the variable "Mono DB" (tech name: MONGO_URL) with the URL of your mongoDB
  4. Start Rocket.Chat and after some second it should be reachable over the Web-Frontend URL

Installation (MongoDB as docker):

  1. Install and Start MongoDB
  2. Install Rocket.Chat docker
  3. Add in the attribute "Extra Parameters" the value "--link "MongoDB:db"". MongoDB is the name of the MongoDB docker container.
  4. Change the variable "Mono DB" (tech name: MONGO_URL) to "mongodb://db/rocketchat"
  5. Start Rocket.Chat and after some second it should be reachable over the Web-Frontend URL

 

Hints:

  • By default, the first account to register on Rocket Chat becomes the admin, so if your chat room is public, do this immediately in order to prevent someone else from registering and becoming the administrator.

Trying to get this up and running, but it doesn't work. Your instructions:

 

Add in the attribute "Extra Parameters" the value "--link "MongoDB:db"". MongoDB is the name of the MongoDB docker container.

 

Don't really make any sense. There's no place to add "attributes" only variables, and variables require 3 parameters: Name, Key, and Value. The Value field can not contain quotations. 

 

So the above has to be done when creating the container under the "Advanced options" which isn't shown by default. Well and good, but even adding that doesn't help. Still fails to start MongoError: failed to connect to server [mongo:27017] on first connect [MongoError: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND mongo mongo:27017]

Ok, so for anyone stuck like I was, here's how to get Rocket Chat up and running with a MongoDB docker image:

 

  1. Install and Start MongoDB docker image
  2. Install Rocket.Chat docker image
  3. Change the MONGO_URL to reflect your host IP address ( Example: mongodb://192.168.1.10:27017/rocketchat )
    1. Just be sure to use your host IP and the port you assigned to the MongoDB docker
  4. Change the ROOT_URL variable to also point to your host IP address ( Example: http://192.168.1.10:3000/rocketchat )
  5. Click apply to create the docker and it should start on its own

There doesn't appear to be any particular need to link the containers, but you could do that if you wanted and fiddle with the two variables above to reflect that.

Hi there,

 

Since last night's update i cant seem to get rocket.chat started on my unraid server.

 

Logs only show this:

Will load cache for users
7 records load from users
Will load cache for rocketchat_room
13 records load from rocketchat_room
Will load cache for rocketchat_subscription
37 records load from rocketchat_subscription
Will load cache for rocketchat_settings
628 records load from rocketchat_settings
Updating process.env.MAIL_URL
Starting Email Intercepter...

 

And after that i see that the container has stopped.

Any idea what this could be?

 

Thanks in advance!

It seems I made it work

I found https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/paas-deployments/aws/#5-configure-nginx-web-server-with-tlsssl , then edited file like this

 server {
 listen 443 ssl;
 server_name chat.my.domain.com;
 ssl_certificate /config/keys/letsencrypt/fullchain.pem;
 ssl_certificate_key /config/keys/letsencrypt/privkey.pem;
 ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
 ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
 ssl_ciphers 'EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH';
 root /config/www;
 add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains";
 index index.html index.htm;
 # Make site accessible from http://localhost/
 server_name localhost;
 location / {
     proxy_pass http://192.168.0.10:3000/;
     proxy_http_version 1.1;
     proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
     proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
     proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
     proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
     proxy_set_header X-Forward-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
     proxy_set_header X-Forward-Proto http;
     proxy_set_header X-Nginx-Proxy true;
     proxy_redirect off;
 }
 }
 server {
 listen 80;
 server_name chat.my.domain.com;
 return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
 }

now ios app can connect!

ssllab shows A+

Hello,

since last week rocket.chat server will not start.

It says replica set required.

 

any idea how to solve this?

thank you very much

 

 

I was able to get it working by doing the following:

Click on the MongoDB docker icon and select console

cp /etc/mongod.conf* /data/db/             ( I renamed it before copying, I think it was called mongod.conf-sample )

exit the MongoDB console

go to /mnt/user/appdata/mongodb and edit the sample conf changing the dbPath: to /data/db and the modifications to the conf file noted in https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/manual-installation/mongo-replicas/

rename the file to mongod.conf

modify the mongodb docker application

Select advanced view

Add "-f /data/db/mongod.conf" to the post arguments

and restart the mongodb docker

go back into the mongodb console, and run mongo and run rs.initiate()

then modify the rocket.chat docker container adding the variable:

MONGO_OPLOG_URL: mongodb://<SERVER>:27017/local?replSet=rs01

restart rocket.chat and it should be working fine.

I really wanted this to work, but when I add "-f /data/db/mongod.conf" to the post arguments it says it's successful, but the MongoDB docker won't start. I tried with and without the quotes.

 

Here's my mongod.conf

# mongod.conf

#   http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/

# Where and how to store data.

  logAppend: true

Can you post your config file for us?

Sure... I see the problem. The echo line they said to in the link that I sent is supposed to be done from the command line, which ends up in the config file like:

replication:
  replSetName: "rs01"

here's my full mongod.conf:

It was working before I updated all my dockers in preparation for upgrading to 6.7, now I can't get Rocket.Chat working again.

My MongoDB seems to be running just fine, but rocket.chat is giving an error on startup saying

MongoError: not master and slaveOk=false

I have found some documentation on how to allow reading from the slave, but it is per connection, and RC creates a new connection and I can't figure out how to set that variable for RC to use. I'm getting very close to just installing it on my centos VM and be done with it.
