RocketChat

Purpose: Deploy a RocketChat and MongoDB database together.

Caution

You need to make the folders for the Mongo database before launching the container stack for the first time. If you do not make this folder ahead of time, Mongo will give Permission Denied errors to the data directorry. You can create the folder as well as adjust permissions with the following commands:

mkdir -p /srv/containers/rocketchat/mongodb/data
chmod -R 777 /srv/containers/rocketchat
