Deploy rocket chat without domain

Description

I want to deploy rocket chat in my internal network without using domain name.

hence, my users will use it with IP link, eg: http://1.2.3.4/

I’ve change the ROOT_URL in docker-compose.yml to my IP link, and update /etc/nginx/sites-available/default to listen on port 80 and server_name 1.2.3.4

but I can’t complete the create admin account wizard, the browser hanged after click submit and after that, when I tried to login with admin account, it said “wrong password”

What can I do?

services:
  rocketchat:
    image: rocket.chat:latest
...
    environment:
      - PORT=3000
      - ROOT_URL=http://1.2.3.4:3000
...

server {
	listen 80 default_server;
	listen [::]:80 default_server;
	server_name 10.133.219.188;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
            proxy_set_header X-Nginx-Proxy true;
            proxy_redirect off;
        }
}

Hey !

I’m on my phone - so the formatting might be off here and there.

You want you and others to access rc through the IP address.

If you’re using IP to access the instance, why use an extra webserver like nginx at all? From your compose file, the instance should be accessible at http://1.2.3.4:3000 - isn’t that enough?

If you want to use rc at port 80, exclude the port section from ROOT_URL and instead of binding to 3000, bind the container’s port to the host’s 80.

http://1.2.3.4:3000 - isn’t that enough

my users live on another network range, say 5.6.7.0/24
IT Dept only allow connect through port 80 from 5.6.7.0/24 to 1.2.3.4

I’m tend to not touch so much about how rocket chat work, so I use an external nginx instance to reverse proxy from http://1.2.3.4/ to http://1.2.3.4:3000/

I’ve updated question, although I connect directly to rocket chat instance on port 3000, the same issue occured.
Do you have any idea about that?

Hi!

You can try to bypass the wizard by adding the env variable in your docker-compose:

OVERWRITE_SETTING_Show_Setup_Wizard=completed

Not sure why you had this problem, but it may be a solution for now.
