Aliyun

You can install Rocket.Chat to Ubuntu VPS on Aliyun.
The recommended VPS configuration is:
2 GB RAM
10 GB disk
2 or 4 cores
However, lower performance configuration has been tested on a VPS with:
1 GB RAM
10 GB disk
1 core
Follow these steps to install Rocket.Chat.
Update Ubuntu repo lists and Install curl
After you ssh to the VPS:
aliyun shell
Run the command:
apt-get update
followed by:
apt-get install curl
Install docker
Run this command:
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
Docker should be installed, verify it:
docker ps
aliyun docker verify
Install docker-compose
Install docker-compose, follow the latest release instructions​
For release 1.5.0, you can use:
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.5.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
(if or when this is blocked, you'll have to obtain Linux-x86_64 docker-compose binary via other means)
Next, allow execution of docker-compose:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Create directories for Rocket.Chat
First,
mkdir /home/rocketchat
Then,
cd /home/rocketchat
Make two more directories for the mongodb database:
mkdir data
mkdir dump
Create customized docker-compose.yml
Create a docker-compose.yml file with the following content:
version: '2'
​
services:
  rocketchat:
    image: rocket.chat:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./uploads:/app/uploads
    environment:
      - PORT=3000
      - ROOT_URL=http://chat.inumio.com
      - MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/rocketchat
      - MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/local
      - Accounts_UseDNSDomainCheck=True
    depends_on:
      - mongo
    ports:
      - 8818:3000
​
  mongo:
    image: mongo
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
     - $PWD/data:/data/db
     - $PWD/dump:/dump
    command: mongod --smallfiles --oplogSize 128 --replSet rs0 --storageEngine=mmapv1
​
  # this container's job is just run the command to initialize the replica set.
  # it will run the command and remove himself (it will not stay running)
  mongo-init-replica:
    image: mongo
    command: 'bash -c "for i in `seq 1 30`; do mongo mongo/rocketchat --eval \"rs.initiate({ _id: ''rs0'', members: [ { _id: 0, host: ''localhost:27017'' } ]})\" && s=$? && break || s=$?; echo \"Tried $i times. Waiting 5 secs...\"; sleep 5; done; (exit $s)"'
    depends_on:
      - mongo
Make sure you customize the file with your-ip-address in the MONGO_URL env variable.
Pull the required docker images
This will download the required docker images, and may take some time.
This is done only the first time, or when you want to update Rocket.Chat.
docker pull mongo
docker pull registry.rocket.chat/rocketchat/rocket.chat
Start the mongodb database
Run:
docker-compose up -d mongo
Mongo supports 24 x 7 operations and live backup. You should not need to restart it too frequently. See mongodb documentations for proper operation and management of a mongo server.
Wait a couple of minute for mongo to start properly.
Start the mongodb replica
Run:
docker-compose up -d mongo-init-replica
This container's job is just to run the command to initialize the replica set. It will run the command and remove itself (it will not stay running)
Start your Rocket.Chat server
Now start the Rocket.Chat server:
docker-compose up -d rocketchat
Rocket.Chat should be ready in a minute or two.
Access your Rocket.Chat on Aliyun
Your Rocket.Chat server can now be accessed over the Internet via:
http://your-ip-address:8818/
