Topic: [NEW HOWTO] Rocket.Chat

[ReetP]

I have a compiled mod_proxy_wstunnel for el6 in my repo, but I haven't tested it at all (yet)

Yes, I was trying it

[ReetP]

OK, I have found a possible fix for mail:

[root@test opt]# diff -ruN ./Rocket.Chat/programs/server/npm/email/node_modules/mailcomposer/lib/mailcomposer.js ./Rocket.Chat/programs/server/npm/email/node_modules/mailcomposer/lib/mailcomposer.orig

this._gencounter = 0;

this.addHeader("MIME-Version", "1.0");
-// Set up the date
- var dateObj = new Date();
-// Convert to UTC
- dateObj = dateObj.toUTCString();
// Now add the header element
- this.addHeader("Date", dateObj);
};

/* PUBLIC API */

This forces all mails to have the date added (I think !)

HOWEVER !

This does not fix the email issue on install as there is no 'From' address until such time as the DB is populated

It probably needs something along the lines of 'if From == '' then From == 'admin@locahost' or somesuch or alternatively add something to the DB on install of the contrib. I'll look at that later.

There is also a coding bug in the Subject Line for mails which adds <br> to the subject line. I'll try and find a fix for that as well, but it is just cosmetic and can be overridden by a custom template in Rocket.

Let me know if this make any difference please.

I have a compiled mod_proxy_wstunnel for el6 in my repo, but I haven't tested it at all (yet)

Using your RPM and the below http settings, there are no more 'ws' errors. So it seems that your RPM is working just fine, also according to other log files.

https://wiki.contribs.org/Talk:Rocket_Chat

[ReetP]

As a FYI I now have two contrib RPMs

smeserver-rocketchat - this adds the rocketchat init service and manages some settings

rocketchat - this is the main 'app' bundle

I have made notes here :

https://wiki.contribs.org/Rocket_Chat:Contrib

I am still trying to work out some more logic for different configurations

As far as I can see there would be:

Local access only
Remote access via http
Remote access via https

Remote access via http/proxy
Remote access via https/proxy

I have been testing with HSF and we can run it from Remote using https and a reverse proxy using Daniels mod_proxy contrib to get Voice and Video calls

Each of these options could be to the main host, or to a subdomain on the host, or even elsewhere. Gets a bit tricky at that point due to the httpd.conf configurations/permutations !

If anyone wants to have a play then please let me know and I can explain some config options

Tried your contrib until the db command:

Code: [Select]

[root@sme9chat ~]# db setprop rocketchat status enabled
usage:
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile keys
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile print [key]
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile show [key]
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile get key
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile set key type [prop1 val1] [prop2 val2] ...
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile setdefault key type [prop1 val1] [prop2 val2] ...
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile delete key
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile printtype [key]
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile gettype key
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile settype key type
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile printprop key [prop1] [prop2] [prop3] ...
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile getprop key prop
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile setprop key prop1 val1 [prop2 val2] [prop3 val3] ...
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile delprop key prop1 [prop2] [prop3] ...

corrected on the wiki page.

[fpausp]

I used:

Code: [Select]

db configuration setprop rocketchat status enabled

instead of:

Code: [Select]

db setprop rocketchat status enabled


but on the end I was not able to start the service:

Code: [Select]

[root@sme9chat ~]# service rocketchat restart
Shutting down rocketchat: /etc/rc.d/init.d/rocketchat: Zeile 104: /opt/rh/nodejs010/root/usr/lib/node_modules/forever/bin/forever: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

"Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden" means "File or Folder not found" ...

I used:

Code: [Select]

db configuration setprop rocketchat status enabled

instead of:

Code: [Select]

db setprop rocketchat status enabled


Or you could have used:

Code: [Select]

config setprop rocketchat status enabled

Sorry but am on holiday at the minute.

FYI from v0.40 onwards a higher version of nodejs than is provided by SCL is required.

I have got v0.42 running but have not documented it as yet, nor looked at building a RPM, as it requires a different setup. I'll look further in a week or so.

[fpausp]

OK, John. Please let me know when you are ready...

Just setup a new test box and I am going to try and write up how to install for 0.40 +

I have 0.44 (current) running on another machine but it is a manual hack.

I'll write back once I have some notes.

B. Rgds
John

[fpausp]

OK John, sounds good...

[ReetP]

OK, a couple of RPMs to test.

Please DON'T try this on a production box. Test boxes that you do no value ONLY. You have been warned.

Read these notes first :
https://github.com/reetp/smeserver-rocketchat/blob/master/Notes-0.44.txt

You can get the RPMs here - I've only just built them and not even installed them myself yet.....:

First one alows you to manage settings:
wget https://www.reetspetit.com/Test/smeserver-rocketchat-0.1-6.noarch.rpm

This one includes a patched version of rocket.chat for mailcomposer Missing header
wget https://www.reetspetit.com/Test/rocketchat-0.0.44.0-1.noarch.rpm

You can yum localinstall them at the relevant points in the notes.

You can anualy download and install rocket directly like this:
wget https://rocket.chat/releases/0.44.0/download; tar zxvf rocket.chat.tgz; mv bundle /opt/Rocket.Chat

Check the permissions on the files in /opt

I also have it running with HTTPS and reverse proxy. If anyone wants a test login on my test box to play and chat then let me know.

I will have a go at installing from the ground up myself tomorrow but am going out for dinner now !

Let me know if there are any issues.

[ReetP]

OK, updated today to v 0.45 so I built a new RPM

wget https://www.reetspetit.com/Test/rocketchat-0.0.45.0-1.noarch.rpm

I managed to upgrade my main test box without any issues - it barfs a lot whilst it is upgrading whilst it messes with node/npm, but the upshot is it came back up without any intervention 

Beware -I have seen a report that audio is scuppered with 0.45 and you can't downgrade. https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/4808

I am just rebuilding a local V9 VM so I can test on a clean install. Will advise accordingly.

Let me know if there are any issues.
