Deploying Rocket.Chat on 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.

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Copied!

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.
1
docker pull mongo
2
docker pull registry.rocket.chat/rocketchat/rocket.chat
Copied!
Start the mongodb database
Run:
1
docker-compose up -d mongo
Copied!
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:
1
docker-compose up -d mongo-init-replica
Copied!
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:
1
docker-compose up -d rocketchat
Copied!
Rocket.Chat should be ready in a minute or two.
