==Required repos==
Add repos:
Add repos:
* [[epel]]
* [[epel]]
* [[Centos-sclo-rh]]
* [[mongoDB]]
* [[Docker]]
* [[User:ReetP|reetp]]
* [[User:ReetP|reetp]]
===Installation===
There is now a smeserver-rocketchat contrib to install Rocket.Chat with docker.
Install Mongo DB natively as per the wiki page https://wiki.koozali.org/MongoDB
Currently it is suggested to use Mongo 4.4
Mongo 5+ requires additional instructions in the CPU that older CPUs may not have. See teh wiki page for more.
Do not go further than initiating the replicaset. Users are not required.
Next install smeserver-docker following the wiki page https://wiki.koozali.org/Docker
Settings
config set rocketchat service TCPPort 3000 mailPort 25 mailURL localhost access private status enabled SSLProxy yes Version 5.4.9 rootURL chat.domain.com
signal-event post-upgrade;signal-event reboot
System ➔ startup
+----------------------------------------------------+
| SERVER RUNNING |
+----------------------------------------------------+
| |
| Version: 0.xx.x |
| Process Port: 3000 |
| Site URL: <nowiki>http://rocketchat.local.net:3000</nowiki> |
| OpLog: Disabled |
| |
+----------------------------------------------------+
You should now be able to connect to your Rocket.Chat instance
http://rocketchat.local.net:3000
===Registering a new account===
Because the SME mail server is fussy you may find it easier to force some settings in the Rocket.Chat DB before trying to register:
You can set your SMTP host as localhost or mail.yourdomain.com
mongo
use rocketchat
db.rocketchat_settings.update({"_id" : "SMTP_Host"}, {$set: {"value":"mail.yourdomain.com"}})
db.rocketchat_settings.update({"_id": "From_Email"}, {$set: {"value":"admin@yourdomain.com"}})
exit<
===Reverse proxy===
Now we need to setup our subdomain for the reverse proxy
db domains set chat.mycompany.local domain Description RocketChat Nameservers internet \
TemplatePath ProxyPassVirtualRocketchat ProxyPassTarget http://localhost:3000/
===Updates===
It should look like this:
chat.mycompany.local=domain
Nameservers=internet (can be localhost)
ProxyPassTarget=http://127.0.0.1:3000/
TemplatePath=ProxyPassVirtualRocketchat
letsencryptSSLcert=enabled (with letsencrypt support)
We need to set Rocket.Chat to listen on localhost now:
config setprop rocketchat rootURL chat.mycompany.domain SSLProxy yes
signal-event smeserver-rocketchat-update
Now start the docker container (always run compose from the docker directory)
cd /home/e-smith/files/docker/configs
docker-compose up -d rocketchat
docker logs -f rocketchat
db accounts setprop Primary SSL enabled
signal-event ibay-modify Primary

==Mongo DB examples==
===Usage===
Example using mongo itself:
mongo
use rocketchat
Show all collections in DB
show collections
Show all entries in a collection
db.rocketchat_avatars.chunks.find()
db.rocketchat_settings.find({"_id" : "SMTP_Host"})
db.rocketchat_settings.find({"_id" : "From_Email"})
db.getCollection("rocketchat_settings").find({"name":"Joe Blogs"})
db.getCollection("rocketchat_settings").find({"_id":{$regex:"^LDAP"}})
db.rocketchat_settings.findOne({_id : "From_Email"}, {_id:0, value: 1})
db.rocketchat_settings.findOne({_id : "SMTP_Host"}, {_id:0, value: 1})
db.rocketchat_settings.update({"_id":"From_Email"}, {$set: {"value":"admin@yourdomain.com"}})
db.rocketchat_settings.update({"_id":"SMTP_Host"}, {$set: {"value":"mail.yourdomain.com"}})
Remove all entries in a collection (CAREFUL!!!!!!)
db.rocketchat_avatars.chunks.remove({})

Some more mongo commands for reference
https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/15880#issuecomment-570070433
db domains setprop chat.mycompany.local letsencryptSSLcert enabled
Directly check a specific user ID from bash:
mongo rocketchat --eval "db.users.find({'username':'usernamehere'}).forEach( function(u) { print(u._id + \" ; \" + u.username); } )"
Log into rocketchat database:
mongo rocketchat
Check out all the user IDs in the database:
db.users.find().forEach( function(u) { print(u._id + ";" + u.username); } )
Or just a specific user's ID:
db.users.find({'username':'usernamehere'}).forEach( function(u) { print(u._id + \" ; \" + u.username); } )
Replace specific user ID's password in the database:
db.users.update( {'_id': 'useridhere'}, {$set: {'services.password.bcrypt': 'bcryptedpasswordhere'}}, {multi:true} )
My only issue with above (only time I needed it for recovery purposes), was that I didn't know which tool to use to generate a bcrypted password. So in the hurry I copied the hash from one account I already knew (my own). If someone knows a good command for creating one directly in bash, I assume it would do.
There are bcrypt password generators online, and various libraries you can use
For listing out any passwords in the database I used:
db.users.find().forEach( function(u) { print(u.services.password.bcrypt + " ; " + u.username); } )
If you have deactivated users it may fail so use this for individual accounts.
However, you can get it for an individual user with:
db.users.find({'username':'SomeUserName'}).forEach( function(u) { print(u.services.password.bcrypt + " ; " + u.username); } )
Set a user config item:
db.users.update( {'username': 'SomeUserName'}, {$set: {'settings.preferences.showMessageInMainThread': 'true'}} )
Find a single user:
db.getCollection('users').find( {'username':'SomeUserName'} )
Get limited information:
db.getCollection('users').find({}, {"username":1, "settings.preferences.showMessageInMainThread":1})
Reset 2FA nonsense:
db.users.update({'username': 'SomeUserName'}, {$unset: {'services.totp': 1}});
db.users.update({'username': 'SomeUserName'}, {$unset: {'services.email2fa': 1}});
===Database Backup===
You can dump the tables to a directory of your choice:
mongodump --dumpDbUsersAndRoles -d rocketchat -o /root/rocketchatmongo
===Database Restore===
You can restore you database as follows:
mongorestore --restoreDbUsersAndRoles -d rocketchat -dir /root/rocketchatmongo/rocketchat --quiet
===Database Fix tables===
To remove user data file links a variation on this link
https://github.com/RocketChat/feature-requests/issues/718
mongo
use rocketchat
db.rocketchat_user_data_files.remove( { } )
db.runCommand({ compact: 'rocketchat_user_data_files', force: true });
quit;
==Node usage==
* This should go to a new Node page for reference
Use n, an extremely simple Node version manager that can be installed via npm (See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7718313/how-to-change-to-an-older-version-of-node-js)
Say you want Node.js v0.10.x to build Atom.
npm install -g n # Install n globally
n 0.10.33 # Install and use v0.10.33 local only
Usage:
n # Output versions installed
n latest # Install or activate the latest node release
n stable # Install or activate the latest stable node release
n <version> # Install node <version>
n use <version> [args ...] # Execute node <version> with [args ...]
n bin <version> # Output bin path for <version>
n rm <version ...> # Remove the given version(s)
n --latest # Output the latest node version available
n --stable # Output the latest stable node version available
n ls # Output the versions of node available
==NPM Usage==
To update your version of npm run the following
npm install -g npm
Or for a specific version:
npm install -g npm@3.10.9
===Proxy Pass===
==DB settings==
Typical standard setup:
rocketchat=service
TCPPort=3000
access=public
mailPort=25
mailURL=localhost
status=enabled
Typical proxy subdomain setup:
rocketchat=service
SSLProxy=yes
TCPPort=3000
access=private
mailPort=25
mailURL=localhost
rootURL=chat.mydomain.co.uk
status=enabled
===SSL with Proxypass===
==Koozali SME v10==
I am starting to look at running this under docker on v10
Some quick notes.
You will need
Docker
https://wiki.contribs.org/Docker
Docker Compose (because it makes it easier to template)
https://github.com/docker/compose/releases
Docker environment settings to disable 2FA
- OVERWRITE_SETTING_Accounts_TwoFactorAuthentication_Enforce_Password_Fallback=false
- OVERWRITE_SETTING_Accounts_TwoFactorAuthentication_Enabled=false
Mongo (I prefer to run a full instance rather than a docker one)
https://wiki.contribs.org/MongoDB
Make sure you add replicaset support in Mongo and set it up:
mongo --eval "printjson(rs.initiate())"
I'll add more later, and try and make a full contrib in due course
