In this tutorial, we will guide you step-by-step on how to install Rocket.Chat on an EndeavourOS system.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
Let's begin by ensuring that your system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Rocket.Chat requires some dependencies to be installed. You can install them using the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm mongodb
The Rocket.Chat package is available in the AUR (Arch User Repository). Therefore, we need to enable AUR by installing the yay
tool. If you don't have it installed, run this command:
sudo pacman -S yay
Once yay
is installed, run the following command to install Rocket.Chat:
yay -S rocket-chat-server
Once the installation is complete, we need to configure Rocket.Chat. Follow the instructions below:
sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl enable mongodb
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/rocketchat.service
Add the following content to the file:
[Unit]
Description=Rocketchat Server
After=syslog.target network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node /opt/Rocket.Chat/main.js
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=rocketchat
User=rocketchat
Environment=MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/rocketchat ROOT_URL=http://localhost:3000/ PORT=3000
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Save the file and exit.
Reload the systemd
daemon:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start rocketchat
sudo systemctl enable rocketchat
Open your web browser and navigate to:
http://localhost:3000
You will see the Rocket.Chat login page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Rocket.Chat on your EndeavourOS system. Enjoy chatting with your colleagues and friends!
