Note:
Currently, this repository is mirrored on launchpad, and used to build latest ARMHF and i386 snaps.
You can download recent builds here: https://code.launchpad.net/~sing-li/+snap/rocketchat-server
Due an issue with the existing installed base of amd64 users (existing snap always installed mongodb 3.2 #issue), this snap is not currently used for amd64 builds.
Download the latest snap file of the corresponding architecture to your Ubuntu Core 16 or 16.04LTS server.
sudo snap install ./rocketchat-server-xxxxxxxx.snap --dangerous
Make sure you have snapcraft installed.
git clone https://github.com/RocketChat/rocketchat-server-snap
cd rocketchat-server-snap
snapcraft snap
- snapcraft runs properly
- snap installs properly
- all services start automatically
- rc service shows a 5-second restart delay while waiting for mongo
- to test manually, stop rc, stop mongo, start rc, wait 20s or so, start mongo
- rc can be successfully restarted via the "Restart the server" button under Admin > Settings > General
- rc service shows a 5-second delay when restarted via this button
- all commands execute successfully:
- initcaddy
- modify the Caddyfile to test:
- self-signed TLS certificate (use the "tls self_signed" caddy directive)
- changing ports (with and without TLS)
- using IP address (only works without TLS)
- successfully acquiring a Let's Encrypt certificate (requires a registered domain)
- modify the Caddyfile to test:
- backupdb
- should run only with sudo
- restoredb
- ideally, stop rc service prior to running this (mongo must be running)
- should run only with sudo
- use any file outside of $snap_common (should fail)
- use the file created with backupdb
- use a dummy .tgz file without actual data
- with and without a "parties" directory in the archive
- initcaddy
