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 > 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
