### Description I have trialled Rocket.Chat Cloud and it appears to be worth installing on my own server however I am struggling to get it to work. I have a Virtual Private Server (VPS) with full root access. The server is running CentOS Linux 7.8.2003 (Core), with my control panel software being Plesk Obsidian v18.0.29\_build1800200825.21. The instructions for installing the Docker image appear to require a number of manual steps at the SSH prompt which im not sure I feel comfortable with as I don’t really understand what the steps will do to my production server. I do have a domain ready for use, mindmatters.chat, which is already secured with an SSL Cert. Can I install Rocket.Chat natively using the Docker interface within Plesk? My experience with Docker is very limited. I’m guessing I need to install the Mongo Docker Image ( I presume the standard “official” image is okay? ). Presuming that this is correct, is the latest version okay to use? I presume I then also need to install the Rocket Chat Docker Image, but which one? [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/_/rocket.chat/) or [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/rocketchat/rocket.chat/) Once both are installed I presume I then need to map the volumes for each image to local paths. How do I then get Rocket.Chat to talk to the Mongo Image? Does Mongo require any configuring? I only have experience with MySQL, so have no idea if I need to create any users accounts in Mongo DB? Any support and help would really be appreciated! Thank you 🙂 ---

Are you tied to having CentOS? I can give you an easy to follow guide for Ubuntu with Plesk. ---

Hi Tony, Thank you for coming back to me. Whilst I could reimage my VPS with Ubuntu, this would require an extensive amount of work and downtime as it is hosting a number of other sites and services. Is it likely that the process for Ubuntu & Plesk is much different to CentOS & Plesk? Id be interested to see your guide anyway if at all possible? Regards Terry ---

This will help. Docker is the revommended install method. [https://docs.rocket.chat/docs/deploy-rocketchat](https://docs.rocket.chat/docs/deploy-rocketchat) ---

Thanks, but no it won’t help. The link you are referring to does not include documentation about how to install on Plesk control panel. ---

That’s because it is not a recommended method, and likely won’t be.
