Deploying Rocket.Chat on Google Compute Engine

Google Compute Engine

1. Create a compute instance

  1. Click create VM instance in google cloud console
  2. Select a preferred Machine Type (Default : 1cpu, 3.75GB Memory)
  3. Select a linux image (Default Debian/ ubuntu)
  4. Allow HTTP/S Traffic

2. SSH to the instance

Connect to the instance by SSH or connect via browser on port other than 80

3. run the following to install docker

sudo wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh

4. Create a container network

docker network create chatNetwork

5. install a docker image for mongo db

sudo docker run --name mongo --network chatNetwork -d mongo \
--smallfiles --oplogSize 128 --replSet rs0 --storageEngine=mmapv1

6. Configure a mongo db replica set

ssh in to the mongodb docker container sudo docker exec -it mongo mongo

Execute this following script to create a replica set rs.initiate({ _id: 'rs0', members: [ { _id: 0, host: 'localhost:27017' } ]})

Exit docker container

7. install a docker image for rocketchat

ROOT_URL should be substituted for your own domain:

docker run --name rocketchat -d -p 80:3000 \
--network chatNetwork --env PORT=3000 \
--env ROOT_URL=https://www.test.com \
--env MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/rocketchat \
--env MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/local rocket.chat:latest

You are now running rocket chat on compute engine. You can open a browser with the external IP of the instance.

If you want the containers to start each time the instance reboots configure the following to the instance.

  • click on the instance in the and hit "edit"
  • Under "Custom metadata" add an item with
key: "startup-script"
value "sudo docker start mongo;
sudo docker start rocketchat"
