cloyne/rocketchat repository overview

⁠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
   

   Copy
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
   

   Copy
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
