Rocket.Chat on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Rocket.Chat on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Rocket.Chat is a leading open-source team collaboration platform — real-time chat, channels, direct messages, file sharing, voice/video, and integrations — that you host yourself for complete control over your data and compliance. This image is built and maintained by cloudimg on a hardened, fully patched Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.

### What's included

• Rocket.Chat Community on Node.js, backed by a MongoDB replica set, managed by systemd
• The Rocket.Chat web UI on port 80 (nginx reverse proxy with WebSocket support)
• An administrator account seeded with a unique password on first boot (no shared default, registration disabled, setup wizard pre-completed)
• Chat and file data stored on a dedicated managed data disk
• Automatic security updates enabled

### Getting started

Retrieve the generated admin credentials with `sudo cat /root/rocketchat-credentials.txt`, then sign in at the VM's public IP to create channels and invite your team. The deployment guide on cloudimg.co.uk covers configuration, integrations, and mobile/desktop clients.
