Deploy Rocket.Chat to Linux that run on systemd

systemd

Prerequisite

You need to have docker installed.

How to run Rocket.Chat on systemd

  1. Create a docker network docker network create rocketchat_default
  2. Create two service files: mongo.service and rocketchat.service
  3. Enable the service files
  4. Run the mongo.service
  5. Create the mongo-init-replica to enable opolog
  6. Run the rocketchat.service

If you reboot the server, the services will start automatically in the right order.

Service Files

mongo.service:

[Unit]
Description=mongo
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/environment
User=dockeruser
Restart=always
TimeoutStartSec=0
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker kill mongo
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker rm mongo
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker pull mongo:3.2


ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker run \
    --name mongo \
    -v .../path/to/data/db:/data/db \
    -v .../path/to/data/dump:/data/dump \ <--optional
    --net=rocketchat_default \
    mongo:3.2 \
    mongod --smallfiles --oplogSize 128 --replSet rs0 --storageEngine=mmapv1

ExecStop=-/usr/bin/docker kill mongo
ExecStop=-/usr/bin/docker rm mongo

rocketchat.service:

[Unit]
Description=rocketchat
Requires=docker.service
Requires=mongo.service
After=docker.service
After=mongo.service

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/environment
User=dockeruser
Restart=always
TimeoutStartSec=0
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker kill rocketchat
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker rm rocketchat
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker pull registry.rocket.chat/rocketchat/rocket.chat:latest

ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker run \
    --name rocketchat \
    -v .../path/to/uploads:/app/uploads \
    -e MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/local \
    -e MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/rocketchat \
    -e ROOT_URL=https://sub.domain.xx \
    --link mongo:mongo \
    --net=rocketchat_default \
    --expose 3000 \
    registry.rocket.chat/rocketchat/rocket.chat:latest

ExecStop=-/usr/bin/docker kill rocketchat
ExecStop=-/usr/bin/docker rm rocketchat

Build the mongo-init-replica container (only run once)

Execute:

docker run \
      --name mongo-init-replica \
      --link mongo:mongo \
      --rm \
      --net=rocketchat_default \
      mongo:3.2 \
      mongo mongo/rocketchat --eval "rs.initiate({ _id: 'rs0', members: [ { _id: 0, host: 'localhost:27017' } ]})"

Reverse Proxy

If you are running a reverse proxy make sure it is joining the rocketchat_default network. Add ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker network connect rocketchat_default Nginx to the rocketchat.service if you Proxy container is named Nginx and be sure to configure it correctly.

If you choose to use a non-dockerized nginx as a reverse proxy, please not that you then have to add -p your-host-port:3000 to the ExecStart command of rocketchat.service and then configure your vhost to pass to your-host-port.

Backup

All data will be hourly backed up to /data/domains/example.org/data folder. We advise to copy this folder to a remote location in case of hardware failure.
