Migrating Rocket-Chat from Meteor built to Synology Docker containers

niklasdahlheimer · April 2, 2019, 6:59pm

Our company was missing the opportunity to import our corporate-export from slack (an export including direct messages, private channels,…) to Rocket-Chat, so I forked the app and improved the Slack-Importer-Scripts to import all this data (right now it only imports users and public channels). You can find my pull-request here

I’m not getting any response on this, I guess because the Dev’s are really busy with the other 253 pull-requests and the thousands of issues, what I understand.
So I do not think that my pull-request will be merged into the official code soon.

That’s why I planned to:

Import all the company data locally with my forked version
dump the data out of the meteor-created mongo-db
move it to our companies Synology-Server, which is running a docker-service
restore the data from the dump to a docker-mongo-container (mongodb Version 4.0.5)
deploy the rocket-chat-container on that database (Rocket-Chat version 0.74.3)

I followed the Rocket.Chat guide and “mongodump and mongorestore for mongodb in a docker container” for the docker-specific stuff.
Everything works fine until step 5: The new mongodb has the “meteor”-database and it’s filled with all the data from my forked system. But Rocket-Chat does not want to start on that db. The docker-container is linked correctly to the mongodb-container. Rocket-Chat-containers log (similar lines shortened):

So I assume it could be brought down to:

but what does this mean or how can I fix that?

Anyone an idea about that?

niklasdahlheimer · April 6, 2019, 11:01am

I found the solution by myself:

Because the development branch is ahead of the docker-latest-branch, the db-version in the collection “migrations” of the development-version (139) was also ahead of the version which the rocketchat-docker-container was looking for (137).

Changing the db-version in the backup data collection “migrations” from 139 to 137 and setting the “locked” to “false” let’s rocket-chat start the instance without any errors.

How did you achieve this? Can you please help me out, I’m having this same problem.
