Server is running, ask Mikey to get you registered at the "secret" registration url.
Clients
The Linux and android clients are tested and working out of the box. How nice.
Docs
Server maintenance
- To update:
ssh jaws sudo apt snap refresh sudo service snap.rocketchat-server.rocketchat-server restart
This supposedly happens "automagically"...? Also, snap updates lag behind release updates. Whatevs.
Server installation
- Install. They INSIST on using snap.
sudo snap install rocketchat-server
- Browse to admin panel at http://yourserver:3000
- DO NOT register with rocket.chat
- Set up an admin account
- Update haproxy and certbot to support a subdomain that is publicly available
Configuration
Once you log in as admin, you get a SHITTON of settings to manage. Important ones:
- Admin > Settings > search > site > CHANGE THE SITE from http://localhost to your FQDN!
- I updated my admin layout Content. It includes Home page text, TOS etc.
- Admin > Accounts > Registration > Manually Approve New Users
- Admin > Accounts > Registration > Registration Form > Secret URL (URL will be /register/(secret)/ )
- Admin > Setup Wizard > Cloud Info > Cloud Service Agree Privacy > Toggle ON
YOU MUST restart server for setting to be applied! This apparently sets:
Admin > Settings > Push > Production read-only toggle ON
This is necessary for mobile chat notifications to work!
- Admin > Layout > User Interface > Allow Special Characters in Room Names > Toggle ON
- Admin > Search > Default Provider > Global Search ON (to add a toggleable global search option)
- Admin > Video Conference > Jitsu > Enable (NOTE desktop app doesn't find my camera, but chrome does)
- Should I? Admin > Accounts > Registration > Use DNS Domain Check
