Docker Rocket.Chat - SLACK alternative (with MongoDB as backend)

[jeyare]

this is first test of our cooperation between R.Ch support and our forum for - direct touch - with support in R.Ch regarding issues from our members

well M8, same answer born in my head

 

[jeyare]

so I will try setup independent jitsi container this weekend

Preparation, follow the architecture (picture below):
- no need define SIP part for VoIP
- just WebRTC

The following external ports must be opened on a firewall:

• 80/tcp for Web UI HTTP (really just to redirect, after uncommenting ENABLE_HTTP_REDIRECT=1 in .env)
• 443/tcp for Web UI HTTPS
• 4443/tcp for RTP media over TCP
• 10000/udp for RTP media over UDP

Variable	Description	Example
CONFIG	Directory where all configuration will be stored	/opt/jitsi-meet-cfg
TZ	System Time Zone	Europe/Amsterdam
HTTP_PORT	Exposed port for HTTP traffic	8000
HTTPS_PORT	Exposed port for HTTPS traffic	8443
DOCKER_HOST_ADDRESS	IP address of the Docker host, needed for LAN environments	192.168.1.1
PUBLIC_URL	Public URL for the web service	https://meet.example.com

Jibri isn't neccessary, because:
Jibri provides services for recording or streaming a Jitsi Meet conference.
No need for this time.

Must say, it's really nice described container (Jitsi).

there will be massive bottleneck for every host with WAN upload under 50Mbps (guaranted)

What step have you completed so far?

 

[sebszc]

OK, I have configured a container Mongo v. 4.4.1 with a parameter:
mongod --oplogSize 128 --replSet rs0

Mongo folder with files:

Now I'd like to take this step:
mongo -u root -p yourRootPass --authenticationDatabase admin, but I am getting these errors.

Now I'd like to take this step:
mongo -u root -p yourRootPass --authenticationDatabase admin, but I am getting these errors.

Try this before that command

db.createUser({user: "admin", pwd: "xxxxxxxx", roles: [{role: "readWrite", db: "db"}]})

 

[sebszc]

I received the message : bash: syntax error near unexpected token `{user:'

You are running this inside the mongo container terminal yes?

 

[sebszc]

Yes.
I also tried to run the process in Portainer and i get a meassage:
MongoDB shell version v4.4.1
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?authSource=admin&compressors=disabled&gssapiServiceName=mongodb
Error: Authentication failed. :
[email protected]/mongo/shell/mongo.js:374:17
@(connect):2:6
exception: connect failed
exiting with code 1

The password is good.

Update:
I created everything again and now Mongo works, but RC gives me a bug:

Browserslist: caniuse-lite is outdated. Please run next command `npm update`
➔ server.js:204 System ➔ error

I have to say that I have never had a similar problem like this. What version of RC is this? 3.6.2?

I have just patched the other day on the latest version and haven't seen this error before. are you using this repo: Docker Hub ?

Also since you have recreated the mongo contianer, have you also deleted the content of mongoDB folder? Or did you reuse it? Any more error details on the RC container?

 

[sebszc]

Yes, I am using this repo. RC v. 3.6.2
I deleted all the old garbage, the new folder and all over again.

Looks like your are missing one variable for the RC contianer considering that you have configured MongoDB as a replica instance.

Have you configured this

MONGO_OPLOG_URL = [B]mongodb://root:[email protected]:27017/local?authSource=admin[/B]

I see on the log screen on the very bottom that the OPLOG is missing. Check your RC variables again

 

[sebszc]

I have configured in RC:
MONGO_URL:mongodb://root:[email protected]:27017/db?authSource=admin
MONGO_OPLOG_UR:mongodb://root:[email protected]:27017/local?authSource=admin
What else do i need ?

 

[Rusty]

MONGO_OPLOG_UR

Hope this is a typo considering that it needs to be MONGO_OPLOG_URL. Well apart from MONGO_URL and this variable those are it.

 

[sebszc]

Works My fatal mistake !!!! Thx Rusty

Hi, first of all thank you very much for this great tutorial!

But until know I was not successfull. I'm desperately trying to get this working, but to the very end, I get an error... I'm using the latest images described in the tutorial and followed every step. MongoDB is running, I get the "black screen" when connecting via telnet, which should be a good sign.
But, when starting Rocket.Chat, it is stopped after some seconds. The Log from the Docker UI shows me a MongoNetworkError:

failed to connect to server [db:27017] on first connect [MongoError: Authentication failed

I tried the setup following the tutorial several times and checked every entry, but I don't know how to fix it or even which steps to take to get closer to the reason for this authentication problem.

Any help would be reallllyyyy appreciated

Have you run the db.createUser command that’s mentioned in the tutorial as a note in case you do get similar errors?
