Rocket.Chat Air-gapped Deployment
Deploy Rocket.Chat in an air-gapped environment using docker & docker compose
An air-gapped computer system is one that is not directly connected to any external network. It ensures that a secure computer network is physically isolated from unsecured networks, such as the public internet or an unsecured local area network.
To set up a local Docker registry on an air-gapped environment, consider building the registry's data volume on a host with internet connectivity so that you can use
docker pull to fetch the required images or any remotely accessible images, then move the volume to the air-gapped network.- Then, pull the Rocket.Chat, MongoDB, and Nginx images from the docker hub which are needed to run Rocket.Chat into your registry. More details on how to do that here
- After deploying the local registry, move the volume to the air-gapped environment and install Rocket.Chat.
- Follow our guide on installing Rocket.Chat with Docker & Docker Compose using the example
compose.ymlfile.
Once your local registry is configured on an air-gapped system, Docker will pull and use images directly from there.
