Hi,

My team wants to customize the chat functionality. For this, we have done the setup of Rocket chat on our local machine. Still we are unable see any database created on our local system in sync. with the rocket chat.

Please let me know how can we create/setup rocket chat databse on our local machine and get full access of it? Thanks in advance.

Hello, once you start the rocketchat service, you should see a database in your mongodb server, what method did you use to deploy?
