High Availability
Install Rocket.Chat as HA with mongodb replicaset as backend
Install MongoDB Replicaset
- Create a user called oploguser with rights on local oplog database:
db.createUser({user: "oploguser", pwd: "password", roles: [{role: "read", db: "local"}, {role: "clusterMonitor", db: "admin"}]}). - Create rocket user to authenticate with rocketchat database:
db.createUser({user: "rocket", pwd: "password", roles: [{role: "readWrite", db: "rocketchat"}, {role: "clusterMonitor", db: "admin"}]}).
Create Rocket.Chat Docker Container
- Fill the
INSTANCE_IPenv with the local IP of the docker-host (in a 3 node setup this is unique on every host). - Fill in the passwords from rocket and oplogger.
- Change the IP of every host in the example docker-compose.yaml -> extra_hosts inserts host entries so each rocketchat-container could resolve the others by the name.
- Be sure that the instances could communicate on port 3000 with each other, this is important to see messages on other hosts directly.
docker-compose.yml

rocketchat:

image: registry.rocket.chat/rocketchat/rocket.chat:latest

environment:

- PORT=3000

- ROOT_URL=https://chat.domain.de

- MONGO_URL=mongodb://rocket:[email protected]-1:27017,rocket-2:27017,rocket-3:27017/rocketchat?authSource=admin&replicaSet=rs0&w=majority

- MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://oploguser:[email protected]-1:27017,rocket-2:27017,rocket-3:27017/local?authSource=admin&replicaSet=rs0

- INSTANCE_IP=<ip of the local instance>

ports:
10
- 3000:3000
11
extra_hosts:
12
- "rocket-1:10.250.250.13"
13
- "rocket-2:10.250.250.14"
14
- "rocket-3:10.250.250.17"

Create a Load Balancer
- Now, setup up a reverse proxy on each host to terminate SSL on each rocket.chat node or terminate SSL on the load balancer, this is up to you.
- Set up a load balancer to reach each instance on
443or3000(depends on the choice above).
