Rocket Chat on Debian

Hello, i'm running on debian 9 with ispconfig.
My question is:

Can i install Rocket chat on my server, having ispconfig running normally?

https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/manual-installation/debian/
thank you

 

If you create a website and install stuff there, that should work and not mess the ISPConfig setup. However, Rocket chat seems to need MongoDB so that may cause troubles since two database systems are installed.

 

That's what i thought.
i think that i can't use it on this server.
thx for your answer Taleman

 

Someone did it and told the world: https://www.niih.de/how-to-deploy-rocket-chat-within-a-few-minutes-on-a-ispconfig-server/

 

Oh so nice, thank you Steini86!!!
i'll get a try

 

Was trying to install by snap paquage, first time i use this.
But i have this error:

sudo snap install rocketchat-server
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap "core" (8268) ([start snap-core-8268.mount] failed with exit status 1: Job for snap-core-8268.mount failed.
See "systemctl status snap-core-8268.mount" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
)

What is it?

 

Nobody knows.
But you can try to find out with

 

i tried "systemctl..."
here is the output:

● snap-core-8268.mount - Mount unit for core

I'm sorry for noob questions, but i don't know what to do ....

I have never tried to install snap packages with debian ... have you installed fuse first? apt install squashfuse
Have you restarted your server after installation of snapd?

 

Hello Steini86,
Yes i have installed squshfuse, but in debian its via squashfs-tools.
i rebooted my server, and tried to install another snap, and get same error.
I tried to find on the web what should it be , and i think it's a kernel problem.
i send a message to my hoster, but no news for now.
I'm on ovhserver.

 

If snap does not work, you can use the "old" method: https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/manual-installation/debian/

 

hello, no i can't because i have ispconfig on my server with sites on.
And don't have MongoDb installed... this is why snap interested me a lot .

 

As far as I have seen, rocket.chat runs on a port which is not used by ispconfig, they should run smoothly in parallel

Snap will also install a MongoDB because that is used by rocket.chat. It is just "inside" your snap package

 

Snap is an Ubuntu package...it doesn't work on debian as far as I am aware.
Also, snaps version of rocket chat is for a minimal Ubuntu system

I have snaps rocket chat running on an ugh th system no problem...I stalled it just over 2 month ago.
All administration is done via ssh with putty and snaps rocket chat console.

I wouldn't run rocket chat on a system hosting websites, I think that is a bad idea. Buy a vps (Vultr or OVH have really cheap pricing) and put it on that

 

yes i think it would be bettre to have a vps only for it.

 

that's why i wanted to install by snap.
but for now i can't.

 

Snap is available for Debian 9 and 10: https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snap-on-debian
However, seems like corto's server does not allow installation. Searching the internet, there are quite a few people having problems with snap in a vm.

 

Yes there is snap for debian 9 and 10.
i contacted my hoster, and said that they can't do nothing.... and that if i want i can change kernel....
But i don't want to do mistakes doing that.
