Can someone tell me how to disable updates? I went through the snap install and about 2x a week it looks like updates takes it to 100% CPU rendering it unusable until a reboot.

This post is the top google search result for disable snap update rocketchat .

This should work, but I don’t want to guarantee it, as RC tries very hard to force an update, even if you don’t want it.

root@host:~# snap refresh --hold rocketchat-server
General refreshes of "rocketchat-server" held indefinitely

And maybe you want to disable the Update Checker in your admin backend (last setting on “General”). This saves you one or two shocks.
