rocket.chat server installation guidance

Okay, this is how you can get Rocket.Chat running on our platform.

1. Create a mongodb as per, https://docs.webfaction.com/software/mongodb.html?highlight=mongo#installing-mongodb However in step 4.5 set the value of 'roles' to 'root' as opposed to 'userAdminAnyDatabase'.

2. Start your mongodb with this command (substituting your own particulars), $HOME/webapps/mongo_app/mongodb-linux-architecture-version/bin/mongod --auth --dbpath $HOME/webapps/mongo_app/data/ --port mongodb_PORT --fork --logpath $HOME/logs/user/mongodb.log

3. Create a Node.js 8.12.0 app https://my.webfaction.com/applications/

4. Install the required dependencies and install Rocket.Chat, cd $HOME/webapps/nodejs_app/ export PATH=$PWD/bin/:$PATH npm install -g inherits n mkdir -p tmp curl -L https://releases.rocket.chat/latest/download -o ./tmp/rocket.chat.tgz cd tmp && tar zxf rocket.chat.tgz cd ./bundle/programs/server && npm install mv $HOME/webapps/nodejs_app/tmp/bundle $HOME/webapps/nodejs_app/Rocket.Chat

5. Start the Rocket.Chat app, cd $HOME/webapps/nodejs_app/ export PATH=$PWD/bin/:$PATH export MONGO_URL='mongodb://user:password@localhost:port' export ROOT_URL='http://yourdomain.com' export PORT='node_port' node $HOME/webapps/nodejs_app/Rocket.Chat/main.js

6. Your ROOT_URL should display the setup wizard.

I hope this helps.
