![]() This guide will cover both configuring and launching a Docker container with a working instance of Rocket.Chat. Rocket.Chat instances store their data in another open source tool, a key-value storage engine called MongoDB - these instructions assume that you have already got a running MongoDB installed, and to facilitate that, we've provided this handy MongoDB install guide as a companion. There are currently about 20 channels to which users can subscribe and in which they can participate, dedicated to different topics of discussion. The OERu has a Rocket.Chat instance that has been getting very positive feedback from our Open Education Resource designers and collaborators, who use it to communicate with us at the OER Foundation, and with their fellow collaborators. The real-time collaboration means that if multiple people are using an app at the same time, even if they're spread across the world, they'll see the changes others are making in real-time. Rocket.Chat is built on a powerful open source real-time collaboration platform called Meteor (which, in turn, is built on the Node.JS open source framework), which supports real-time collaborative applications. The output will be similar to the following: Replace /var/snap/rocketchat-server/1195/Caddyfile with your own to customize reverse proxyĮdit the file with your favourite editor (such as Vim or Nano).Rocket.Chat is a modern, open source messaging application which is functionally similar to a popular (and heavily marketed) proprietary tool called Slack. Before we can change it’s settings, we need to generate a config file. RocketChat uses Caddy as it’s HTTP server. ![]() You can use the same systemctl commands above to manage it. The MongoDB database that powers your RocketChat server is ran by the service. We can also restart the server directly, instead of stopping and starting it: To start the server again, we can run the above command, replacing stop with start: Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/ enĪctive: inactive (dead) since Sun 00:54:25 EST 1min 15s agoĪs you can see, the Active line now says inactive. Now our server will be inaccesible, and if we check it’s status: - Service for snap application rocketcha The Active line tells us that the service is running.

Your RocketChat server is managed through systemd services. Now, let’s move on to server configuration! Managing the RocketChat service If you click on your name at the top-left, you will open a menu where you can change your status (online, away, etc), change your account settings, or (if you’re an admin), change server administration settings. Other featuresįrom the right sidebar, you can also change notification preferences and see the file list for a channel. ![]() Stars and pins can be accessed from the right sidebar. You can also star a message to save it for later, or, with the proper permissions, pin it to the channel to save it for everyone. If you sent the message (or you have the proper permissions), you can edit or delete it. You may add attachments (files, video and audio), emoji, and apply basic formatting.Īll messages have a menu that can be accessed by hovering over them and clicking on the series of dots that appear over it at the top-right corner. Messages can be sent (quite intuitively) by typing in the chatbar and pressing enter. Past direct messages will appear on the left sidebar, under the list of channels. You may send direct messages to team members by opening the member list (located on the right sidebar), clicking on someone’s name and clicking on the Conversation button.
