Rocket.Chat

Start Mongodb​

It makes sense for Rocket.Chat to launch its own mongodb in Docker. Reason for this is Rocket.Chat requires Mongodb as replicaSet setup.

docker run --name rocket-chat-mongodb -m=256m -p27030:27017 -d docker.io/mongo --replSet rs0 --oplogSize 10

Start mongoDB console and execute

rs.initiate({"_id" : "rs0", "members" : [{"_id" : 0, "host" : "localhost:27017"}]})

Start rocketChat​

(check the latest settings https://github.com/hpi-schul-cloud/dof_app_deploy/blob/main/ansible/roles/rocketchat/templates/configmap.yml.j2#L9)

Please not that the displayed //172.29.173.128 is the IP address of the mongoDB docker container. You can get the ip over the command: docker inspect rocket-chat-mongodb | grep "IPAddress" (dependent on our system)
