Unraid Community App Rocket.Chat with MongoDB

Community Support
1

Dear community, this is my first post here and I hope you will be a little lenient with me and forgive me if I posted my query in the wrong category. Unfortunately, I’m German and the fact that this forum is entirely in English doesn’t make it any easier for me. I am therefore trying to convey my concerns to you via a translator.

I’ve been trying to get Rocket.Chat running on my Unraid server for quite some time now, unfortunately without success. Unraid’s website even advertises Rocket.Chat and there is also a YouTube guide https://unraid.net/community-hosting Unfortunately, this guide is now many years old and in my opinion is no longer up to date or works which in my case simply doesn’t.

I have an Unraid Server 6.11.5 and I have installed Rocket.Chat from the Community Apps, as well as MongoDB - both are Docker containers. Both instances are running on my server, but I still can’t access Rocket.Chat.

In the comments to the Spaceinvader tutorial in question, there was a link to an updated guide that I used.

Unfortunately, I don’t know why I can’t access Rocket.Chat and so I need your help
