I’ve had a rocket chat server setup for several weeks on Ubuntu 20.04 using snaps. Out of the blue it seems it no longer works. When checking services the snap.rocketchat-server won’t start, it just stops if I issue it a start command. I’ve tried restoring the server from a previous day when I kno…

Same here, it basically seems to hang after the following message. The local port 3000 is never opened, and therefore we get a Bad Gateway error: Aug 13 15:09:02 prod-rocketchat1 rocketchat-server.rocketchat-server[10033]: {“line”:“120”,“file”:“migrations.js”,“message”:“Migrations: Not migrating, a…

Any idea what happened? I guess I’m confused how my own server would break all of a sudden.

I got the server to start again by blocking cloud.rocket.chat as follows: iptables -I OUTPUT -d 51.81.11.138/24 -j REJECT Not necessarily recommending this as a solution - it will break the push gateway and possibly your marketplace apps, but for us it was the only way to even get our server to st…

Then did you just: sudo systemctl start snap.rocketchat-server.rocketchat-server.service ? For me, it still does nothing.

I went with snap restart rocketchat-server, but your way should work too. Maybe you take a different route? In my case I waited for the server to get to the place where it hangs, and then I ran the following: lsof -p $(pgrep -f 'node /snap') | grep IPv4 I would see something like this: node 13…

Hmm interesting, not working on my side. I was wondering if it was something to do with caddy. When I setup my server I had to edit the /etc/hosts file and create an entry to point the dns name to my public IP because for some stupid reason they want this to match internally. Sorry Snap/RocketChat,…

This option for REJECTING the IP address worked for me as well. Looks like issues connecting to cloud.rocket.chat. I can’t sign in to my profile there neither to access server workspace. SNAP auto updated to 3.5.1 last night, introducing the Push Gateway feature that will now tracked\bill your R…

I’m going to delete the host and redeploy without snaps. Snap is an effing joke. Scratch that, I’m moving to Mattermost…

My rocketchat instance also crashed out of blue without me doing anything (no scheduled updates, no nothing) and doesn’t work anymore. I must say rocket.chat is not reliable enough for production, my server is down whole day and there’s no fix in sight.

Same here. I’m no longer able to get the service running out of the blue. Also, notifications are no longer working. The server has not been touched (it’s only used by myself and 2 kids). I was able to restore an old version, but I can’t seem to disable snap from auto refreshing!

Sorry to be so vague, but we really don’t know what caused the issue and are looking into it.
