cloyne / docker-rocketchat

Slack alternative for cloyne. Docker image extending rocket.chat

To start after unexpected reboot:

1. Verify that the NODE_VERSION environment variable is up to date with rocketchat/base
2. Fix the SSL symlinks in nginx-proxy:

   docker exec -ti nginx-proxy /bin/bash --login
   cd /ssl
   ln -s letsencrypt/live/chat.cloyne.org/fullchain.pem chat.cloyne.org.crt
   ln -s letsencrypt/live/chat.cloyne.org/privkey.pem chat.cloyne.org.key
   exit

3. Currently /etc/service/rocketchat/run doesn't start appropriately and has to be started manually from within the container. It takes a minute to load.

    docker exec --user root -ti rocketchat /bin/bash --login
    /etc/service/rocketchat/run

4. If you get 502 bad gateway, check docker network inspect server3.cloyne.org and confirm the internal IP address of the rocketchat container. Go back into nginx-proxy and make sure the upstream in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/zzz-virtual.conf matches, then restart nginx with sv restart nginx.

To start from scratch for development

First, run the mongo container.

Then initiate the replica set within the mongo container:

docker exec --user root mongo mongo --eval "rs.initiate()"

Then start the rocketchat service as in step 3 above.

To add users

First, do a csv import according to these instructions. Any new users created this way will start out deactivated. To activate them, you must log into the database:

docker exec --user root -ti mongo /bin/bash --login
root@mongo:/# mongo
rs01:PRIMARY> use rocketchat
rs01:PRIMARY> db.users.update({username: "NAME"}, {$set: {active: true}})

for adding a single user

docker-rocketchat's Issues

Loading screen + mongodb timeout

Symptom: chat.cloyne.org shows the three loading dots and the correct page title (CloyneChat) as set by rocketchat, but never loads.

Fixed (temporarily?) by restarting mongo container and then re-running rocketchat from within the rocketchat container. Not sure what actually caused this or if it will happen again.
